-- More Historical Data -- Now companies can report on data outside of
two open years, allowing them to easily compare budgets and financial
results using more comprehensive historical trends. This offers improved
trending analysis and enables better research producing more accurate
forecasts based on prior years' activity.(1)
-- Real Time Error Alerts -- Warnings when a company uses a non-standard
A/P or A/R account on Purchase and Sales Invoices, as well as when they use
non-Cash accounts on Receipts and Payments. The new alerts add to the
existing Internal Accounting Review feature by warning small businesses as
problems occur, so there's less likelihood of mistakes continuing and
causing problems in the long term.
-- Flexible Payroll Management -- Numerous advancements make it easier to
manage payroll, including payroll tax liability reporting, vacation and
sick time tracking, increased flexibility in payroll set up, the ability to
manage multiple retirement and insurance plans, and flexible spending
accounts. As an added precaution, all Peachtree reports now display only
the last four digits of Social Security numbers, to help prevent identity
theft and comply with state laws.
Manufacturers and distributors alike will benefit from capabilities
available in Peachtree for more profitable inventory management.
Serialized inventory tracking, multiple costing methods, flexible bill of
materials processing, kitting and assemblies, and the ability to sell in
multi-quantity units are just a few of the advanced inventory functions
included in these products for more effective, profitable inventory
management.
Growing companies recognize Peachtree as a powerful tool to help them
manage current and future growth, and Sage Software offers the assistance
they need to manage that growth. Also available in the product line is
Peachtree by Sage - Quantum 2009. Introduced in 2006, Peachtree Quantum is
the most comprehensive application in the product line, offering all of the
new features and enhancements along with more user and transaction volume
support. With 2009, Peachtree Quantum now supports up to 30 licensed,
named users(2) and provides significant performance improvements in
multi-user environments using new Smart Posting technology. This
technology provides significant performance improvements in multi-user
environments.(3) And, repeated tests have proven Peachtree Quantum 2009
significantly outperforms products such as QuickBooks® Enterprise 2008
with up to 4 times faster transaction processing in a 20 user
environment.(4)
Included with Peachtree Quantum is Peachtree Quantum Business Care, an
extensive service plan that includes all the product updates and upgrades
that become available within 12 months of the product purchase date, access
to online training and one year of unlimited access to Customer Support.(5)
As small manufacturers and distributors grow and require additional
capabilities from their software, Sage Software offers a clear migration
path to the company's Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200 and Sage MAS 500 products.
