Software Toolhouse +Impact Turnkey Solutions

Businesses today demand a different level of computer based solution. No longer do you just need a program to generate invoices, and maintain stock levels. 

Performance, scalability, and reliability are essential. Beyond these core enterprise qualities, Software Toolhouse provides agility to your data management and analysis, allowing your organisation to adapt quickly and gracefully to derive a competitive advantage in a fast-changing environment.

 From a data management and analysis perspective, it is critical to turn raw data into business intelligence and take full advantage of the opportunities presented. A complete database and data analysis package, Software Toolhouse Business Software (+Impact) opens the door to a new generation of enterprise-class business applications that can give your company a critical competitive advantage.

 Combining the application software with the Management level Consulting provided by Software Toolhouse, we will not only help with the implementation and training, on the use of the software, but will also provide key input as to how to get the best out of the installed software through management reports created from the inbuilt report writer and integration with MS Office products like Excel and Word.

 Software Toolhouse will provide support and training for your System Solution through the Software Support Contract. This provides free upgrades to your software products, and reduced rates for training staff and analysis and development of management tools based on the information accumulated by your business, daily.

 We work WITH your accountant and business consultants to best utilise the skills and  resources available, to help knit together a working team to ensure the efficiency of your business.

 A successful business always has a number of skilled people associated with it. These are generally accountants and business consultants, but may also include marketing experts, project managers who may or may not be part of the permanent staff of the business.

 Each of these people need accurate information from your business, presented to their own specific requirements, to enable them to give you the advice you need, to give you the competitive edge in your chosen marketplace.

 An example of this may be to present the sales information for given product groups seasonally, as compared with last year, or even over several years. The marketing people may use this information in a table format for analysing the direction of the market, whereas this may be needed to be presented to the accountant together with cost information to project the financial requirements of the business for the coming year. As the owner of the business, it would be more useful to see this information in a graphical format, to enable you to make the decisions for the future, more easily.

Another example may be to set up a cash flow budget for the business, to give actual comparison. The export to Excel spreadsheet includes the formulae to subtotal and total the information listed. You may add new formulae to the spreadsheet for additional financial modeling, before importing the budgeted data back into the cashbook into the budget section.

Every business has differing requirements for information. This partly explains why there are so many accounting packages on the market. It is also why it is important that the accounting program you chose has the ability to grow with your business, and has the support behind it to enable you to get the most out of it. After all, there is little point in accumulating information for information sake. The information must be able to be presented in such a format as can be used to develop the business further.

This can be done by:-

  • increasing your competitive edge in your market
  • targeting your market more accurately

This is achieved by:-

  • Selecting +Impact Business Software
  • Configuring the software to best utilise your staff resources
  • Setting up useful analysis categories and codes
  • Identifying the information you want out of the system
  • Designing the best format for the information generated
  • Analysing this information

For a detailed description The +Impact Software, download the Product Guide or visit the Software page for more information.

 +Impact is a fully integrated accounting package ensuring a single entry flows through the databases. Each of the modules can be operated independently, or integrated.

 In addition to the detailed analysis described above, you will also want to take advantage of the Support Contract and follow through with the training programs provided.
