SEC Business Manager
Software packages for small businesses typically solve limited issues and can leave you with multiple islands of data and expensive integration projects that never work or information that has to be manually re-entered or batched into other applications or systems. This wastes time and money.
The SEC Business Manager (SBM) is our flagship business management suite and takes the burden off the small business by providing a comprehensive solution that allows you to focus on running your business.
The SBM is both a job/business management and invoicing application and business accounting application together in one package – this is what we believe sets it apart from the competition. Essentially it allows each user/worker to use the system within their own area and use that information to provide “the big picture” to accounting, administration and managerial staff.
SEC Business Manager gives you a complete view of your company. All data is updated in real-time enabling a complete snapshot across all areas of your company from accounting and sales, to fulfilment and support.
Raise an estimate, follow that estimate through status changes to a scheduled job, as the job is completed an invoice is raised, printed for dispatch or emailed? the choice is yours. Track stock and consumables, add them to invoices with correct mark up, assign different customers different discounts – it’s all there, and if it’s not there, it’s extendible.
The SBM has been developed in close partnership with several companies in the Hampshire area, this is what they have to say:
“We saw the an early prototype of the SBM and instantly saw the potential. Being an early adopter we were able to shape and mould the SBM development to best fit our business which has really paid dividends to our productivity. Additionally, the recently added cost controls have really helped us get on top of our job costing and profitability, especially during the current downturn.”
