Cashflow Ledger

Knowing your cash flow situation is vital to your business success. You need complete insight into your cash flow, but you don’t want to spend a lot of time gathering and analyzing data.

Put all the information about your cash flow right at your fingertips as cash transactions from your Aptean SouthWare business system flow automatically into Cash Flow Ledger. Without any extra work you’ve got all the information and tools you need to answer your cash flow questions. And when you reconcile your bank account, the system will automatically show you where your general ledger differs.

Invoicing Adapter

The first step in getting paid for your sales is getting a clear and accurate invoice to your customer right away because as we all know: the longer you wait to bill a customer, the longer you can expect to wait to get paid. And if the invoice doesn’t clearly detail the reason for the bill, then you may wait even longer.

A great solution to your basic billing needs, Invoicing Adapter allows you to enter the details of your invoice and include them on your customer invoice. You get many of the powerful features found in our other invoicing modules without paying for features you don’t need.

Collections Adapter

Following up on your past-due customer accounts is not one of the most pleasant parts of operating a business, but it is an important one. Every company has customers who seem to delay sending a payment until you give them a reminder.

Make your collection efforts more organized and easier with our Collections Adapter, an add-on option with Accounts Receivable, which allows you to schedule follow-up calls, enter collection call information and track customer commitments. You’ll get a better return on your time spent doing collections because you’ll have a complete record of what’s been done and said.

International Transactions

Many U.S. and Canadian businesses have trading partners in foreign countries. Transactions with these partners may involve other currencies and the tracking and reporting of these multi-currency transactions can be challenging.

International Transactions functionality provides supplemental features that allow you to record, track and report multi-currency transactions involving international trading partners while maintaining your dollar-based internal records.

Job Cost

When your business revolves around projects and jobs, you need a proper job tracking system. Most jobs involve so many types of costs that you need comprehensive records on each job just to know whether you’re making money or not.

Job Cost gives you the tools you need to keep your jobs under control without getting bogged down in paperwork. Setting up new jobs is easy, and you can even copy standard jobs from templates. Costs and revenues will be automatically updated by other parts of your system. Overhead, recognizing job progress in G/L and work-in-process updates can all be done in minutes.
