business management system - coming soon!
The Business Management System (BMS) provides a comprehensive set of tools for businesses, ensuring data is consistant across the entire organisation and reducing data duplication. It represents a viable alternative for small businesses, who traditionally make do with low cost, off the shelf applications that don't talk to each other. The platform can also be extended to meet your specific needs.

The core platform includes the following modules:-
- Business Accounts allowing us to record income and expenditure against one or more accounts; The accounts provide a number of accounting reports including a balance sheet, cashflow forecast, profit & loss and Value Added Tax (VAT) reports. The accounts module also includes bank reconcilation functionality - allowing you to reconcile transactions against downloaded bank statements;
- Content Managment System allows you to take control of your website, allowing users with little or no experience to maintain website copy; The content managment system also includes a blog, that allows you to maintain a corporate blog to promote your business more effectively;
- Client Relations Management system enabling us to maintain accurate records about affiliates, clients, suppliers and sales leads; the client relations management also allows you to stay in touch with your contacts by either exporting contact details (for use with 3rd party software for mail merges, etc.,) or distributing emails for your e-marketing activities;
- Project Management that helps monitor your work in progress and feeds into the semi-automated billing system (which is integrated into the accounts module);
- Sales Pipeline allows us to manage our prospects as well as measure the effectiveness of our marketing and other sales activities;
Additional modules include:
- e-commerce functionality that can be bolted into your payment service provider (PSP);
- Document Management and Distribution (used for distribution of training manuals / operating and maintenance manuals / corporate information);
- Technical Support for businesses that provide on going maintenance and is ideal for system administrators, web developers, web designers, technical teams and facility management teams;
Additional modules can be purpose built to meet your specific needs and we would be delighted to speak to you about your requirements.
