Industry Accounting Software |

CAPITAL
Office Software has been designed with the steel industry in mind, and is
the approved/official accounting system for many businesses in the steel
industry, such as the Tubemakers/Metaland Group. |

Quantity
Conversions
|
|
One
of the unique and important industry features in CAPITAL is the "quantity
conversion system" which deals with different units of measure both
in purchasing and selling. Most accounting systems are unable to buy and
sell in a variety of different sizes and lengths. For example, in your
business you might purchase by metre, length, tonne, and pack, and sell
by metre, length and other combinations, all with different associated
cost and sell prices. CAPITAL Series 7 allows you to purchase and sell
in an unlimited number of different sizes and units of measure.

Easy
Stock/Price File Imports
|
| As
the industry moves towards automation to reduce staff costs, many and shortly
all your suppliers will be providing product and price information in electronic
form. CAPITAL's powerful data integration manager allows you to define links
to your supplier's price information. Once you've set-up the link CAPITAL
will remember the format of your supplier's data and will be able to import
future updates at the press of key. |
|
| Large
Product Codes & Descriptions, Intelligent Matching |
|
The
stock control system can track product codes of up 25 characters and descriptions
of unlimited length. As many products and descriptions in the steel industry
are difficult to remember, stock items are typically hard to find quickly.
Unlike computers, humans search for product descriptions in different
ways. For most accounting programs, unless a description is entered in
exactly the right sequence of letters and numbers, the system can’t immediately
locate the product you want or present a short-list of likely matches.
CAPITAL’s key word search feature will instantly match the words you enter
in a variety of different combinations and will find the products you
need (or the closest matches). And searching remains instantaneous, whether
there are 100 or 100,000 products in your database.

Portions
(Lengths) Management
|
| Using
Portion (Lengths) Management, stock can be held in the smallest standard
unit of sale (e.g., a metre) while simultaneously tracking the total number
of available lengths and their dimensions. For example, you can track the
number of steel rods in stock of a particular grade, and what their lengths
are. CAPITAL even comes equipped with features to cut rods into smaller
lengths on the fly and automatically allocate sizes below a minimum to "off
cuts". |
|
| Service
Management & Job Costing |
|
Service
Management and Job Costing is ideal for managing service work, fabrication
and construction. Estimate costs, raise quotes, and record materials used,
labour time and other expenses. Job cards track a complete history of
the work you’ve performed in the past, and can be easily customised by
you to support the unique requirements of your business without program
changes. Work in progress, billing pending, activity, promised versus
completed dates and other key information can be tracked as statistics
or displayed on automatically generated business graphs.

|
| Serial
Number & Warranty Date Tracking |
| Serial
numbers can be recorded in the system for heavy tools such as welders, electrical
power tools and other hardware you may retail. By noting the warranty period
for each item you can track whether a returned item is still covered by
warranty or follow-up with additional product offers after the warranty
period has expired. |
