The QuickBooks philosophy is to create business software
solutions that are quick to learn and quick to use. You don't need
to be an expert to use our business software. Built using
intelligence from leading professionals, it's like having your own
desktop accountant. It enables you to spend less time on books and
more time growing your business.
"Clients love the fact that there
are no annual license fees for the accounting software and
constantly compliment us on how easy the products are to use"

Africa is now an authorised Quick Books reseller selling the family
of Quick Books accounting packages (Simple Start, Pro, Premium) and Quick Payroll.
Previously, companies were able to operate manual payroll processes,
however now that it has become more complex due to new South African
legislation and tax laws, companies require a system that manages
the entire payroll process. Quick Payroll takes care of
payroll complexity and is fairly simple to use: You'll wonder
how you have survived without it.
This program is the link between Maximizer CRM (contact management)
and Pastel Accounting! Eliminate double entry and improve
customer management and satisfaction! MaxPal can transfer

This Microsoft Access 2000 database was created for the South
African Guide Dogs Association for the Blind (SAGA), who have been
using it most successfully since January 2000 and are now making it
available to other charitable organisations. It is used to track all
people who have donated to, joined, collected for, or otherwise
assisted SAGA. The program is used to issue receipts, collate
banking, and print labels, letters and reports. It can be customised

– Track where your staff have been and what they have done there!
Link to an accounting package for easy insertion into the detail
when you bill customers. The latest version has enhanced searching
and graphing capabilities. The program requires Microsoft Access
2000 or later. It is a general-purpose Timesheet solution for
companies that bill their time to customers under various job
numbers. The program has a function to create Invoices in QuickBooks
and various reports and graphs that let you track the time your
staff has spent on their jobs. A special section allows hours spent
to be deducted from pre-paid service contracts.
This is a timesheet database we wrote for
Can!Do Consulting, the ERP
documentation and training company, and are authorised to resell on
their behalf. The database is in Microsoft Access, but allows for
input from remote sites: The database will e-mail timesheets as
Excel spreadsheets and import the data from the completed
spreadsheets. Projects can be set up with pre-defined Tasks in
specified Phases. There are categories for Productive, Billable, and
non-billable items. There is extensive reporting including pie
charts, bar charts and CrossTab reports. There are also reports for
the accounting department detailing what must be billed to clients
and expense claims that must be refunded to staff. An interface to
push the billing through into invoices in Pastel Accounting is
planned. If you would like a comprehensive timesheet system for your
business, the Can!Do Timebase or our own timesheet database,
Time-Binder (see above) may be cheaper than developing a new one
from scratch.

FAD will manage a clothing broker (the middle-man between
manufacturers and retailers). Agents sell on commission at varying
rates. The Agency may hold stock or just take a commission on sales.
This program was designed together with a leading Fashion Agency and
contains vital features to make both the agency itself, and the
supplier, more profitable. For example, it can be used to get early
warnings of "winners" and "losers", allowing production to be
switched to more profitable styles and reducing the amount of unsold
stock that later has to be discounted. Sales Orders can be printed,
faxed, or sent by e-mailing HTML. FAD is currently live at two
companies, at one of whom the database already contains over 5000
sales orders worth several million Rand! The Fashion Agency Database
is available for licensing to other companies, and further
development to client specifications.
