Advanced and Powerful Financial Software

• Microsoft Dynamics GP is "world-class" financial software, resulting from well over a million man-hours of development. It sits on Microsoft SQL Server, which is one of the 2 top database management solutions in use today. Hundreds of developers are assigned to each of these 2 products, improving them year after year.
   
• Microsoft provides the tools to customize all of their products. They are called SDK's, software development kits.. As a Microsoft Certified Partner we have had access to these SDK's to fit the software to the exact needs of our customers. You can view some videos of these customizations from the links below.
   
• FRX Financial Reporter is one add-on tool that enables sophisticated presentations of financial statements. Click the link here to see an hour-long demo of this product from Microsoft. FRX Financial Reporter

Videos or Slides of Customizations

• Dynamics GP screens can be modified by either hiding fields and prompts, adding fields and prompts, changing colors and typefaces, or adding custom processing behind buttons. Here is a video of how the GP Order Entry screen and procedure can be simplified. It uses the built-in tool called Modifier, which is geared toward the customer rather than the developer.
   
• We prefer to leverage as much of what automation the client is already doing. Here are slides of a custom front-end we wrote for Newark Baggage Service. They deliver the bags which fail to come with the plane. They service all NY/NJ airports plus Baltimore.
  We noticed they managed their deliveries with a very expert use of Microsoft Excel. We did not want to change the way they operated their business, so we integrated their Excel spreadsheets into the accounting program - by writing a program in the middle which imported the data, processed it, and then created invoices in the accounting system as well as custom, detailed, invoices for the airlines. Please click link to see slides, Newark Baggage slides.
   
• For example: using Continuum we wrote a custom Work Order application for an engraving business that integrates into SBM (prior, basic edition of GP); allows entry of detailed specifications; prints a complex, custom work order form; and posts the financial data into GP, so it can track receivables. Click here to see a Windows Media Player, screen cam of that application: ENGRAVE YARD.
   
• We finished another custom application for a tree spraying service. This one automates their routes and billing; meaning it creates a route report with the correct sequence of stops; then it creates automated billing from there - importing the bills into GP. Click on PRINCE TREE
   
• Here is a video of a customization which calculates landed cost against sale price for each line item. This way our client can know his exact gross profit on any line; on any invoice; on any range of invoices. Click on LEATHER TRENDS if you want to see that one.
   
• We did one for Traffic Safety Service of New Jersey automates repeat billing of rental invoices, but the invoices can be fairly complex, having multiple lines with different rental periods and different monthly or weekly rates. Click on TRAFFIC SAFETY SERVICE for that video.
   
• Here is a customization for a money transmit business that copies all the accounting information out of their line of business application into GP. It is a Sybase front end which captures all invoicing, payments, vouchers, vendor payments, bounced income and reversed payments out. This gets pumped into GP so the client can know their financial position daily, instead of waiting 3 months for their accountant to enter the information, ZOHA. That link takes you to the video.
   
• We recently finished an application for an agency that books entertainment. That uses Microsoft InfoPath 2003 as a front end to accounting. The bookings are done in InfoPath; the reports and bulk billings are done in SBM (prior, basic edition of GP). Either application can view and use the other's data. The receivables and corresponding payables for each booking are linked to that booking or job. InfoPath is a tool that uses pure XML, so it is very flexible. Here's that video, CENTER STAGE ENTERTAINMENT.
   
• Here is a link to a customizations which are described pictorially in a MS Word document:
  BOOKS FOR LESS needed custom warehouse reports with a pivot table of ISBN numbers and all the corresponding locations. SBF is not set up to do multiple bins per item, but we did it using the lot numbering facility of SBF and then doing custom pick lists and reports to facilitate storing and picking of orders.     They also needed to restrict certain users from seeing costs (NO SHOW COSTS).
   
• W. MOORE PROFILES needed the ability to generate purchase orders automatically. Each week they order hundreds of items and they don't want to do it manually. Here is that customization.
   
• This is a video of a customization for a garment manufacturer. They needed matrix display of items ordered/shipped, so it would be clear to their customers. IBSPORT
   
• Here is a PowerPoint presentation of the documentation for the Zoha money transfer system that we added on to the Microsoft SBF accounting: Zoha Manual. It is best viewed "Full Screen" from the Browse menu; or if you don't have PowerPoint, download the Microsoft free PowerPoint viewer.
