A look at AccountPro Invoicing
Platinum
AccountPro Invoicing Platinum is
part of the suite of accounting / finance related applications that have be=
en
developed by AccountPro Software Inc.
The suite of products developed=
by
AccountPro is modular in design and work together to provide a full managem=
ent
system for various industries. One
of the advantages of the AccountPro system is that each ‘module’=
; is
stand-alone but when multiple modules are installed on the same system, they
work together to share information and functionality.
This review will look at how
AccountPro Invoicing Platinum compares against other invoicing solutions and
what the strengths of this module really are when used as a standalone modu=
le.
What is AccountPro Invoicing Platinum
Essentially, AccountPro Invoici=
ng
Platinum is an invoicing software package except for a few key features.
Invoicing Platinum is a highly
effective tool and comprises many features such as Inventory Control, Accou=
nts
Receivable, Job Costing and maintaining ledgers. It also makes the whole customer
management experience a great deal simpler due to its easy-to-use interface=
and
the way it uses ‘classes’ to define groups of items.

Looking at the features
After testing the application
package, we realized that this has been designed with almost any eventualit=
y in
mind. With the many countless=
ways
in which products can be grouped classed and categorized, it is both straig=
htforward
and very quick to enter information into the system for either quoting or
invoicing.
What we particularly liked about
the Invoicing Platinum package vs. Easify was the sheer extensibility of In=
voicing
Platinum. With eight separate
modules available that can integrate directly into invoicing platinum,
organizations can start with the basic package and upgrade as their needs
evolve.
Perhaps the biggest drawback we
noticed was that the interface of Invoicing Platinum looks a little dated.<=
span
style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> However, do not let this put you o=
ff, as
both support and development on this product is amazing and it is probably =
only
a matter of time before the only weak point of this product (user interface=
) is
brought up to speed with the rest of this amazing suite.
In Conclusion
This time around, it really is a
non-contest. During initial
research, it was noticed that there is a distinct lack of quality and relia=
ble
invoicing solutions available that are not already integrated into business
accounting packages. As a res=

the smaller business owner has been forced to put up with alternatives, whi=

do not even come close. Now t=
here is
something available that can do everything almost any company could ever
need.
