Customised for you

Work the way you want to

Accredo’s practical user interface lets every user work in the way that suits them best. Because you want to spend your time working in the system, not working out how to use it, Accredo is simple, flexible, customisable and consistent.

Work faster

Everybody wants to work quickly and efficiently, and in Accredo everybody can. With both mouse and keyboard options for all key tasks, data entry staff can work exclusively from the keyboard, while management can just point and click to obtain reports and other data.

Error messages are also super-friendly, moving your cursor directly to the field relating to the error – no annoying dialog boxes to close before you can continue your work.

Work smarter

Why would you waste your valuable time visiting unnecessary data and fields? Accredo lets you customise your grids and lookups to show only the information you are interested in, in the order you require it.
For example, when entering invoices, make your product code and quantity the first two columns on the invoice lines grid for super-fast, super-smart data entry.

Work easier

There is nothing more frustrating than having to re-learn a new set of controls when you start working in another part of a system. You will find that toolbar icons, keyboard shortcuts and menus are consistent across all Accredo products, modules and screens. So, once you are familiar with one area, you will have no trouble using the whole system.

Automate, facilitate, eliminate… celebrate!

Accredo’s automation tools make it easy to control your organisation, while reducing time-consuming drudgery and the potential for human error. Meanwhile, you get to focus on the more exciting challenge of growing your business

Delegate, but stay in charge

Your staff need the freedom to make deals with customers, but you need to know you can keep their promises, and make a profit. Use Accredo’s powerful scripting tools to apply minimum profit margins to users, customers, products. Do the same with delivery times, or add reminders about delivery requirements for certain customers, waiting times for out of stock items or planned price changes.

Reduce tedious data re-entry

We thought you probably had better things to do than re-keying information already in your system, so we developed Accredo’s duplication functions. When goods are returned for a credit, just duplicate the original invoice and save it as a credit note – no re-entering data, and the prices and product codes are guaranteed correct.

Eliminate repetitive drudgery

Why waste hours calculating freight charges and hand writing address labels when Accredo can do both, and add the charge to your invoice, with a single keystroke? New salesperson? Don’t spend hours updating hundreds of customer records – let Accredo do it with the click of a button. And let Accredo automatically print or email your reports to the right place at the right time, every time.

Open up your options with open periods

Revolutionise the way your business works with Accredo’s open period accounting. Never again experience frustrating end-of-period bottlenecks or risk costly mistakes waiting for the ‘right’ period to enter data into your system.

Don’t stop

In most businesses, customers don’t stop calling with orders just because it’s the end of the month. Maybe you even process orders months in advance. Or perhaps your accountant is a bit slow to process your adjustments. It doesn’t matter when you use Accredo’s open period function to enter your data directly and immediately into the period where it belongs – past, present or future.

Don’t worry

The status of periods in Accredo is strictly controlled by user and module – you decide how many past and future periods each user has access to in each module. And once your GST Return is accepted, the system will not allow any further GST transactions to be processed to that period. So you are assured of your data integrity, auditability and security, while still benefiting from streamlined business processes.

Get straight ‘A’ reports

A good accounting system does more than help you manage your finances, it helps you manage your business. If it’s in your system, Accredo reports on the information you need, in the format you want it.

Do it your way

Every business needs to report on similar core information. But when you use the built-in report customisation tools that come with each core Accredo module, you’ll obtain exactly the information you need, looking the way you like it, grouped to suit your particular business demands.

And forget about all that paper – with Accredo, save your reports as PDF files for emailing or distribution online, provide them as Excel or CSV files to allow your staff, customers or suppliers to use the data in other applications, or view them on-screen and save them electronically.

Do it yourself

You don’t know anything about programming? That’s OK. To customise Accredo core reports, you only have to know what information you need. Then select the module and report type, specify data and fields to report on and apply filter and/or sort criteria in the user-friendly customisation windows. And if you change your needs (or your mind), just edit your report or create a new one following the same simple steps – no need for expensive and time-consuming technical assistance.

Cheat if you want to

Never again wade through pages and pages of reports to find the record you need – use Accredo’s filtering tools to isolate transactions with a specific value or dollar range, or sort customers by the value of their business.

Build your brand

The business documents you send your customers and suppliers are an integral part of your organisation. They can say a lot about you, as well as how much (or how little) you value your relationships. Use the custom document designers included with all Accredo modules to maintain total control over the impression your business makes – on paper, on screen and online.

Stand out from the crowd

Your company image is important, and standing out from the crowd is critical to your success. So tell everyone that your business is smart, strong and savvy – personalise your statements, invoices, quotes, orders and other documents with your logo, formatting and branding using the Accredo document designers.

Give them what they want

Just as your business is unique, so is everybody else’s. So not all of your clients, suppliers and other contacts want (or need) to see the same information from you. So use the Accredo document designers to link extra-detailed (or extra-simple) statements to certain customers or groups. Print pictures of items on quotes. Or add special messages when certain products appear on an invoice. You still enter the information the way you like it, but your recipients see it the way they prefer it.

The future is here

As with reports, save and email Accredo documents such as quotes as PDF files to preserve the formatting and your professional image. Or give your clients the convenience of importing your data directly to their system by providing any of your documents as Excel or CSV files.

Bend and flex

All business changes over time, so Accredo comes with lots of helpful features to make those changes as seamless and painless as possible.

Change, but stay the same

Your client base expands and you need to restructure your customer codes, or perhaps a supplier changes all of their product codes. Update your records in one easy step with Accredo’s alias codes function – the codes will change, but you’ll retain a full history of each record.

Merge, but keep the facts straight

Two suppliers merge, or you somehow end up with duplicate records of a product or customer. With Accredo’s merge function, combine two or more records simply and quickly without losing valuable historical information from either.

Hide, but remain accessible

It’s a fact of life that some products, customers and suppliers won’t last the distance, but sometimes what appeared to be a dead duck can turn into a golden goose. If you’re not sure, just make the record inactive in Accredo. It won’t clutter up your system on a day-to-day basis, but it will still be available for reporting or resuscitation if necessary.

Look to the future, but keep an eye on the past

“If we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.” If you use Accredo, that’s unlikely – you can choose to save up to 99 years of history on your system, helping you to analyse your past successes and failures and so determine your future path.
