There are many busy times; month ends, year ends, common filing deadlines, but none are as busy as personal tax season. When you finally get a chance to come back up for air, usually around the second week of May, the planning for next year starts. The thought process usually revolves around ways to save precious seconds, minutes, or if she is really lucky, even whole hours.
A few seconds a day really don’t sound like much, but when you’re pushing right to the last second of a midnight deadline, a couple of hours accumulated over the months leading in are a prized commodity. In the very least, looking highly organized in what is sometimes a very chaotic environment reflects very well on an employee.
With a little planning, Sage 300, often in combination with Sage CRM, can give your work that same glow. With Sage 300’s new feature called Business Intelligence and Reporting, you can save a significant amount of time by quickly reproducing complicated reports at the click of a button. Where previously you may have had to manually combine data from several sources, this BI application can compile the same report automatically.
Often franchise owners are locked into the proprietary systems provided to them. These systems will often output a summary report. This information would then be manually entered into a more common ERP solution like Accpac. The process of transferring this information is time consuming and prone to error. With a customization of Accpac, you can reduce an activity that might be hours a month down to minutes and all but eliminate errors from data entry.
