ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - May 27, 2010) - Sage North America today announced the general availability of the Sage Peachtree 2011 industry-specific products, including Sage Peachtree Premium Accounting for Manufacturing and Sage Peachtree Premium Accounting for Distribution, following the company's announcement last week of Sage Peachtree Quantum 2011 and the rest of the standard Sage Peachtree 2011 lineup.
Part of the Sage portfolio of manufacturing and distribution solutions, these products, designed for small manufacturers and wholesale distributors, go far beyond accounting, providing an array of business management tools offering instant access to key information that makes getting paid, reacting to issues and controlling profitability easier than ever.
Sage Peachtree has long been recognized as a leader in inventory management capabilities for small firms. With Sage Peachtree 2011, manufacturers and distributors can:
- Improve decision making with the new Inventory and Services Management Center: A customized dashboard helps users process large quantities of information about a single inventory item or a service at a glance. It enables quick research, comparisons, and decision making, and helps small businesses easily see the impact of a service -- usage, revenue, and more. The dashboard cuts time needed to track details on inventory for planning purchases, freeing that time for other activities.
- View at-a-glance Assembly Management: Customizable by user, firms can easily select modules on the Inventory and Services Management Center for at-a-glance, detailed information about a specific assembly item. Owners and business managers can quickly see quantities on hand, component costs and backorders.
- Instantly identify Job Status: Customizable job status indicators provide visual red/yellow/green "stoplights" for easy identification of what's on or off track, and are completely customizable to suit the needs of individual businesses. Small businesses can easily delete, rename, or change the color-coded stoplight button attached to each status, with virtually unlimited status types, for easy monitoring.
Sage Peachtree 2011 handily simplifies mundane tasks so that companies can get more work done faster, with less manpower, increasing efficiency with an easier installation process and a setup advisor that automatically displays related instructions, descriptions, and links for assistance. The guide can be turned on or off for each user.
Other new features, which vary across products, include the ability to process change orders and additional improvements to jobs management. For more information, please visit www.peachtree2011.com.
Manufacturers and distributors alike will benefit from capabilities available in Sage Peachtree for more profitable inventory management.
