Paperwork
The ABC5 package is designed to help you with the mass of paperwork needed to run even the smallest business. One easy-to-understand program that you can leave in your computer all day. Simply press a key to change from typing letters to producing estimates or sales invoices.
Confidence
Unless you keep a close eye on your business, and analyse what is happening, your business decisions are just hopeful guesses. The ABC5 package gives you the information you need; instantly! You then have the confidence that your decisions are based on hard facts.
Less effort
The nice thing about ABC5 is that you gain the benefits without extra work. Not only does ABC5 make it easier to create invoices, and add up the petty cash, but once you have done this the additional reports and information are available at the press of a button.
More time
With ABC5 speeding up the production of letters, invoices, VAT Returns, price lists, statements, and most other paperwork, you gain time! Let the computer do the boring tasks while you get back to running your business.
Pedigree
For over 18 years we have been helping small businesses to computerise. Many thousands of people are using earlier versions of ABC in a wide variety of companies. Most of the enhancements in this latest version are due to feedback from these users. In effect, it is the users of ABC5 who have designed the package. That's why ABC5 works so well in real life.
Easy to use
Believe it or not, we found that most small business men or women are not computer experts and don't want to be. That's why we made ABC5 so easy to use.
What can ABC5 do?
Basically, ABC5 can take care of most of the bookkeeping, letterwriting, form filling, etc, that every small business has to cope with. ABC5 can calculate and print invoices; look after petty cash; show how much profit (or loss - we tell it like it is!) you've made so far this year; do a mail shot to selected customers; print labels for all your stock items; print statements for customers (with address in correct place for window envelope); produce a price list (and allow you to edit it before printing); address envelopes; produce cashflow to impress the bank manager; print your VAT Return in 1 minute; show you what you have in the bank.
Expandable
One of the hidden benefits of ABC5 is that we've made it expandable. This will allow us (or selected dealers) to customise and develop the package very easily. Perhaps your trade or profession has special requirements, or maybe your head-office wants you to send your figures over the telephone line automatically each week. With ABC5 such things become possible.
No jargon
ABC5 is designed to be used by a relatively unskilled person, and we have tried to avoid use of accountancy "jargon". The emphasis is on the day-to-day running of a business - buying and selling things, and getting money in from customers. This is the reason we tend to call ABC5 a "bookkeeping" package rather than an "accountancy" package. Beginners could ignore the Balance Sheet, and leave this to their accountant.
