The Accounting module, the cornerstone of the Connected integrated software system, includes General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. This easy-to-implement module delivers a powerful set of financial management tools. Standard features include up to eighteen open periods, profit centers and departments, and complete detailed audit trails.

The Inventory Control module includes order entry and purchasing functions as well as full-featured multi location inventory control. Other module features include MRP reporting, multi-level bill of materials, and several volume and custom pricing discount structures. For a growing distribution, light manufacturing, or retail operation this application is the perfect tool.

The Job Costing module includes time sheets, time billing, estimating, auto invoice creation, and links to all other Connected modules. These sophisticated functions provide the detailed cost and revenue tracking that is so critical to time sensitive service operations- such as consulting and advertising.
