The ABECAS™ Insight Accounting System
provides a powerful base on which to build
diverse business applications. Argos
Software has used this core functionality to
add more generally required functionality
that can be used by both our core industries
as well as a wide range of other businesses.
As a result, these modules are available
either as standalone systems or as part of
our broader system offerings. Either way,
the underlying ABECAS™ Insight Accounting
System is provided as part of the system and
allows you to meet the most demanding
accounting requirements of your Controller.
Where the modules need to interface with
other modules, these links are provided. On
top of all that, all of the ABECAS™ Insight
tools, such as Dashboards, EDI, Task Agent,
Handheld Devices, and so on, are available.
The following are other modules available
from Argos Software:
-
Contact
Management for Account
Management allows a sales and
marketing team to focus on the
opportunities presented by their
customers and prospects. This
provides the functionality
required to build a strong
pipeline, manage relationships,
generate more business, and
create satisfied customers. It
allows all activity to be
tracked against the identified
opportunities with easy access
to all required follow-up.
Management reporting provides
managers with the current status
of their pipeline.
-
Contact Management for Topic
Management allows personnel and
other managers to manage any and
all topics of concern in their
area of the business. It is
particularly useful for tracking
safety, training, disciplinary,
and other personnel topics. It
allows topics to be defined for
personnel, such as employees and
applicants, as well as for
customers, vendors and other
entities. Then as activity
occurs related to the topic,
records are maintained of this
detail as well as having the
topic updated. The personnel
records are separated for
security purposes.
-
Service Management for Service
Providers allows the service
department to manage all
requests for service. This might
range from receiving and
assigning a request to send a
technician out to repair some
equipment or facility … to
assisting with personal services
… to landscaping crews doing
both construction and
maintenance work … to tracking
support requests from internal
or external users of a service,
such as software and financial
services. These services may be
provided on a fixed fee basis
with periodic billing or on an
“as used” basis or a combination
-
Services Management for
Utilities allows a utility to
track both requests for service
work as well as the billing for
services. This is particularly
suited to water utilities, both
domestic and irrigation
utilities. This allows the
installation and maintenance of
customer facilities to be
managed with work assigned to
individuals or crews, as
relevant. Charges may be based
on the consumption of services,
such as meter readings or flows,
as well as on fixed periodic
charges.
-
Equipment and Facilities
Management allows any type of
equipment and facility to be
tracked for scheduled preventive
maintenance, repairs, cost and
charge out purposes. Schedules
may be set up based on time or
distance/usage, maintenance
requests can be built into work
orders with all labor, parts,
equipment, and outside repairs
tracked, costed and billed,
either internally or to an
outside customer. All costs
related to each item are tracked
and reported in detail. In the
case of trucks, all mileage and
fuel usage is tracked and used
to generate the required IFTA
fuel tax report.
-
Railcar Yard Management allows
an operator of a private rail
yard to track the location of
each rail car from the time it
is inter-changed in until it
leaves. It supports having
multiple tracks where the cars
are shuffled in order to work
with or release cars. This
provides immediate knowledge of
where the cars are and their
status.
