The comprehensive series of features and functionality, complemented with a number of add-on modules, provides a scalable and flexible management tool for your ever growing business.

Branch Accounting

Organisations which have legal entities in multiple locations may encounter difficulties in optimising operational efficiencies and control within their various branches. Branch Accounting simplifies and streamlines business processes and transactions between all of these entities.

Branch Accounting enables bi-directional synchronisation and consolidation of data. Information can now be shared, consolidated and saved on both the centralised system at the head office as well as at branch level. For example, all financial, inventory and pricing data is always up-to-date and consistent across branches. Product prices can be changed at head office level and automatically pushed to all branches.

Branch Accounting includes the ability to transact at local level even if the ADSL lines or virtual private network become unavailable. In addition, any potential loss of data due to fire or theft will be kept to a minimum, as regular consolidation and replication will house data at head office over and above any off-site backup processes. Data for a particular branch can be restored and sent to the relevant branch within hours of the loss.

Branch Accounting assists in:

• Increasing productivity as a result of simplified transactions.
• Minimising potential errors with once-off data capturing.
• Providing full visibility into business activities with the complete audit trail, which details transaction histories for the head office per branch.
• Creating efficient, cost-effective transactions with affiliate and subsidiary companies.

Main features of Pastel Evolution Branch Accounting:

• Centralised and Decentralised Accounting.
• Document numbers and transaction types per branch.
• Ability to merge data to the head office database.
• Reports consolidated by branch at the head office.
• Global and local Customers and Suppliers.
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP) as a communication protocol.

Resolve (CRM)

Traditionally termed ‘CRM’ or “Contact Management”, Pastel Evolution Resolve is core to the Pastel Evolution system’s functionality. Pastel Evolution Resolve has taken the concept of traditional Contact Management much further by weaving it into the very fibre of the Pastel Evolution accounting system, thus elevating accounting software to its next logical state allowing you to not only capture numbers, but also what we refer to as business activities. Activity data is integrated and presented together with the numbers providing a holistic view of your business instead of a numbers only view. This integration provides you with the ability to control not only your financial situation but your relationships with your customers, suppliers and employees. Any issue that takes place in a business, and is important enough to be tracked, is recorded as an Incident in Pastel Evolution Resolve. Pastel Evolution Resolve will track all Incidents to their conclusion or until they are closed off. The Evolution system stores Incidents even after they have been closed, allowing you to track a history of events as they occurred, as far back as you wish.

Business Intelligence Centre

BIC is an add-on module that dynamically links to your Pastel accounting data, taking your business beyond standard reporting functionality. You can generate spreadsheets by simply extracting Pastel Accounting data and converting it into an easy-to-read, graphic format. Pastel’s BIC retains report formats and makes them available for future use. You also have instant access to ‘live’ information and that last minute journal no longer impacts your Excel reporting. Monthly financials account for a large percentage of manual Excel labour.

Pastel’s BIC offers a customisable pack which provides drill-down functionality. You can customise the standard set of reports and templates, and create new ones. It gives you flexibility with the combinations of financial data you choose to report on.

BIC ships with Management Packs (Balance Sheet, Income Statement), Sales Master (Sales Reports), Inventory, Purchasing options, and more.
