-- Business Analytics, powered by iLumen(1): Understanding business
performance relative to peers -- where it stands and where opportunities
exist -- is more critical than ever. In the 2010 line, Peachtree features

their own performance compared with others in their industry, in their
geographic area, and other manufacturers or distributors overall.

businesses save time by being able to search on inventory information in
the description for sales, purchases, or item notes fields. Small
businesses also now can see easily what customers are buying with the new
Item Sales History by Customer report.
-- Customer Management Center: Particularly in the current economy,
customers are small businesses' most precious asset. The new Customer
Management Center helps small businesses view customer details in one
place, with customizable dashboard views, enhanced lookups and easy export
to Microsoft® Excel® or PDF to manage more effectively and provide
excellent customer service.
-- Employee Management: Helps save time and reduces errors by storing
all employee information in one centralized location, including emergency
contact info, review dates, hire date, employment verifications, and more.
Companies can also set alerts to stay on top of upcoming tasks, such as
employee reviews.
Other new features include the ability to have multiple companies open at
once(2), manage multiple contacts per customer(3), automatic backup,
tracking transaction history, password security, and an in-product advisor,
that helps small businesses learn the best way to work within Peachtree to
get their jobs done.
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.
Also available is Peachtree by Sage - Quantum 2010, the most comprehensive
application in the product line, offering exclusive new features supporting
order process workflow and customizable dashboard functionality, as well as
more users. It is an excellent choice for manufacturers or distributors
that need expanded capacity

-- or transactional volume, at an affordable price. Peachtree Quantum
offers the simplicity of an integrated accounting solution, with unrivalled
performance and unmatched capacity in its class: twice as fast for
transaction saves and report generation than its nearest competitor, and

service plan that includes all the product updates and upgrades that become
