Features
|
| Full Business Integration |
Multi Express software is designed
provide a fully integrated business solution to better your everyday
business operations. It offers real time communication between
frontline operations and back office management; thus allowing
decision makers to make well informed decisions in a timely fashion. |
| Windows
Platform |
Business & Accounting
is designed to work on the Windows '95, Windows '98, and Windows
NT 4.0 and up platforms. Business & Accounting is fully
windows compatible and is designed to take advantage of the
many standard features and settings that the Windows' platforms
offer. |
| Label
Printing |
Printing
labels directly from Business & Accounting allows your
organization to keep only one set of data in one application.
This ensures that your data is consistent and up-to-date. Running
one piece of software for printing, another for your inventory,
another for accounting, etc. means that you have several places
to store the same information. This type of situation makes
your business prone to common errors such as redundant information,
discrepancies between two or more of the same records, and
the exposure to concurrent adjustments of the same record.
Printing labels directly from within Business & Accounting
eliminates those risks and more by using a central database
of records. |
| Expandable |
Multi Express
Business & Accounting has Add-On utilities that allow your
information system capabilities to expand with the demands
of your organization. You may choose from a variety of specific
requirements to add to your existing package. |
| Comprehensive
Search Tools |
Multi Express
Business & Accounting comes with a whole host of search
tools to better guide you to where you want to go. These search
tools allow you to search on many different levels using many
different fields. The flexibility of these powerful search
tools provides you with convenience, speed, and reliability. |
| Service
Counter |
The service
counter is where most of your retail sales take place. Multi
Express Business & Accounting is designed with that in
mind. By creating fewer steps from invoice to payment, and
by using real-time updating methods, your service counter is
able to serve your customers more quickly and efficiently.
Reducing the time to process a sale by incorporating P.O.S.
hardware such as bar-code scanners allows you to take advantage
of efficient data, accounting, and inventory processing. |

Express we are dedicated to providing our customers with the
necessary information and expertise needed to deal with occasional
difficulties. That is why we provide customer support in a
variety of formats. You may choose to find help on a variety
of topics through the On Line Help Menus, On Screen Assistants,

Support |

from within Business & Accounting. By using your internal
or external fax/modem, you may fax out the necessary documents
directly to a specified location. This saves you the time and
effort needed to first print a hard copy of the material and
then send it through a fax machine. It also eliminates the
use of paper in the fax transaction. |
| Inventory
Evaluation |
Having the
tools necessary to evaluate your business’ inventory is
essential to managing your company’s true costs and true
profits. Using powerful inventory evaluation tools and reporting,
you can easily monitor your inventory’s actual costs,
replacement costs, and inventory quantities. |
| Output
Control |
You may choose
to print out invoices, quotations, or orders to your computer’s
default printer or to the screen. Also, in many cases, you
may generate different types of forms to print out such as
a packing slip, picking slip, etc. You may also select printing
from any other printers for some functions by printing to the
screen first and selection the print setup. |
|
|
| Multiple
Payment |
Multiple
payments and multiple payment methods may be used to pay off
an invoice that you have created for your customers. This allows
your business to accept a variety of different payment methods
to complete the collection of an invoice. |
| Full Audit
Trail and Reporting |
Most organizations
need to keep track of the changes they make. Multi Express
Business & Accounting provides a full audit trail of all
transactions and even lets you know things such as the revision
number of the transaction that you have made changes to. |
| Cost History
Search |
Tracking
your costs is just as important as tracking your sales. By
performing a cost history search, you are able to determine
where your organization is spending its money, at what times,
and to what vendors or businesses. This feature can help you
plan your resource requirements so that your organization benefits
by making timely payments and avoiding interest or other charges.
It also helps your organization make plans for purchasing different
products at different times and increases your ability to manage
inventory and supplies with more efficiency. |
| Accounts
Receivable Manager |
Multi Express
is designed to help your organization run at an optimal level
by giving you the necessary analytical tools to manage your
accounts receivable efficiently. You may choose to view reports
on different time lines that you specify. Use the included
tools to assess which accounts are overdue for any 3 user-specified
lengths of time. These, and other tools and functions help
improve your company’s cash flow by allowing you to keep
up-to-date reports for outstanding accounts. |
| Accounts
Payable Manager |
The Accounts
Payable Manager allows your business to set up vendor accounts
and allows you to use important analytical tools to assess
your company’s current situation. By keeping track of
your business’ accounts payable, you can avoid costly
mistakes in the form of interest charges, late payment charges,
etc. This also allows you to take advantage of benefits such
as decreases in your accounts payable invoices for payments
made within a certain time period. |
| Multiple
Bank Accounts |
Having multiple
bank accounts in Business & Accounting allows you to manage
your finances internally without having to "shuffle" money
from one account to another externally. You may have more than
one account at one bank, and you may have several banks as
well. By directing positive and negative cash flows to and
from specific accounts, your business is able to manage its
financial obligations through the accounting system in Business & Accounting. |
| Multiple
Tax Handling |
There are
a variety of taxes that need to be tracked and accounted for
in everyday business. These include taxes such as the P.S.T.,
G.S.T., and H.S.T. However, while Multi Express provides these
for you, there may also be other taxes applicable to your business’ particular
operations such as an environment tax, a recycling tax, or
a luxury tax. You may create your own taxes and adjust the
rates for any taxes in the tax table according to the laws
and rates in your region. |
| Automatic
Credit Limit Check |
This feature
saves time looking up customer records to find out whether
or not they are able to make more purchases on credit. When
you enter and save an order, quotation, or an invoice, you
will be automatically notified if the amount put on credit
exceeds the customer’s credit limit. |
| Post to Multiple Fiscal
Years |
Business & Accounting
gives you the flexibility to multiple fiscal years without
having to close the ledgers. This is a powerful feature for
businesses that experience cyclical or seasonal business and
are in need of extra time to perform reports, analyses, and
queries on their business operations. |
|
|
| Unlimited
Individual Item Comment Lines |
For every
entry you place in an order, quotation, or invoice as well
as in the purchasing and inventory processes, you may enter
an unlimited amount of comment lines. This feature allows you
the flexibility to input complete information, comments, etc.
about the item(s) you have entered. It is great for those times
where you need to incorporate special instructions or requests.
You even have the ability to suppress line-by-line comments
from being printed. |
| Item and
Invoice Discounts |
Every item
can be marked with an appropriate discount. The discount can
be entered as either a percentage or as an absolute amount.
The total invoice amount can then be discounted as well. This
amount can include or exclude items that have already been
individually discounted. |
| Sales
History Search |
Business & Accounting
allows your company to view any of your previous sales transactions.
By retrieving a history of sales of your customers, you can
automate certain tasks and manage your inventory with more
certainty. Sales history searches allow your company to project
upcoming sales transactions based on previous data. |
| Full Invoice
Features |
Multi Express
Business & Accounting gives you the full set of features
found on manual invoices while also giving you the convenience,
flexibility, and organization found in software applications.
Using advanced work tools to automate and customize numerous
tasks, Business & Accounting keeps your business more organized.
It also helps your business to produce more accurate and efficient
data in less time. |
| Order
Entry Manager |
The Order
Entry Manager provides all of the functions you need to process
orders quickly and accurately. You do not have to switch between
functions to add new customers, inventory items, or other information.
You can do all of the functions that provide for a completed
order directly from within the Order Entry Manager, and all
in real-time. Not only does this make your order entry process
more efficient, it accelerates the rate at which you can process
orders, which allows you to produce more orders and generate
more revenue. |
| Order
Status |
The order
status function allows you to view the status of any order,
invoice, or quotation without having to open or browse that
particular record. This function is very useful for making
quick observations about your orders. You may change the status
of any order, invoice, or quotation as deemed fit. |
| Order
Remarks |
Use the order
remarks function to enter in valuable information about the
particular order you have made. This information will not be
printed, but will be useful to refer to when there are special
circumstances or when reference to pertinent information is
needed. When you enter order remarks, the order remarks button
changes by adding horizontal lines to indicate that there are
remarks with this order. |
| Stock
Receiving |
Stock receiving
allows your business to confirm purchase orders and update
your inventory. Business & Accounting handles stock receiving
in a way that allows your business to verify the order, make
any necessary adjustments, and change any payment totals or
outstanding receives as necessary. Real-time updating of inventory
gives your business the ability to immediately use the received
stock to process new sales or outstanding back-orders. |
| Inventory
Handling |
Inventory
handling is a key feature of Business & Accounting and
is designed to help your business operate at its most efficient
level. Business & Accounting provides for a host of inventory
handling options which all act in real time. This allows you
to process orders, make purchases, and forecast needed inventory.
You can setup minimum order levels and a minimum threshold
so that the system will automatically inform you that certain
product(s) have gone below their minimum inventory level. |
| Back Order
Processing Support |
Multi Express
provides support for creating back orders. In the event that
a certain amount of inventory needs to be reserved, or is not
available for sale, you may keep this inventory as a back order
and ship whatever items are available. You can still process
orders for products that have no inventory without having to
change the parameters of your order. This function works in
real-time and allows your organization to continue to process
and manage inventory without altering or manipulating the way
data is stored on your system. |
| Partial
Receive Handling |
Business & Accounting
provides the necessary functionality needed to process partially
received purchase orders. There are times when an order for
items has been made, but, due to unforeseen circumstances or
for other reasons, the total order could not be shipped. Instead
of being issued a credit memo and redoing a purchase order,
you can receive any part of that particular order and record
it as such. Later, as you receive the rest of the order, you
may complete the purchase order processing. |
| Quotation,
Order, Invoice Processing |
Easily move
from a quotation or an order to an invoice without having to
retype information or manipulate text. With Business & Accounting,
producing quotations, orders, or invoices is simple and easy.
Invoices are automatically posted when the accounting system
has fully verified the terms of payment, invoice number, and
other necessary information. Additionally your business may
specify last minute or other information relevant to the transaction. |
| Self-Adjusts
Pre-Sold Quantities |
Multi Express
easily self-adjusts the quantities of pre-sold items so that
your inventory levels and sales records are accurate and up-to-date.
This eliminates confusion and uncertainty when processing future
orders, received purchase orders, and the like. |
