Service organisations, especially in the fiercely competitive property market are under increasing pressure from increased competition, demanding customers and the need to consistently deliver high quality services.

Efficiency is the key to survival, including cost containment, margin enhancement and customer retention.. Exchequer is designed to dramatically improve efficiency through business process automation, workflow and a management reporting facility that is ideally suited to professional services. One example of this is the comprehensive and flexible coding structure adopted throughout the suite of modules.

The General Ledger with its unlimited 'tree' structure combined with the independent cost centre and department codes provide an unrivalled level of analysis.

The Project Costing module (used extensively by customers who require either a comprehensive or simple 'job bag' function) takes this analysis several steps further with its own hierarchical reporting structure and integrated time sheet handling. It also integrates fully with the other financial modules to provide seamless work in progress and 'profitability by project' analysis.
