SHORT DESCRIPTION:
BILLPOWER NT professional timekeeping and
billing. Seamlessly incorporates time &
billing functions and a GL into one program.
It will keep track of time, disbursements,
and receipts for up to 50 people and produce
a monthly bill for each project. Unlike
programs requiring periodic batch-postings
& close-out procedures, BILLPOWER is a true
"real-time" system that never purges data.
MS Windows 95 or NT required.
LONG DESCRIPTION:
BillPower, one of the finest time & billing programs available at any
price, is a fully integrated timekeeping, billing, and bookkeeping system that
will produce a wide variety of reports, including income-expense statements,
balance sheets and aged receivables reports. The user has wide latitude in
designing billing formats that use any font and place transaction data wherever
desired. The program will even print mailing labels and form letters to your
clients.
Unlike some other time & billing programs that provide "links" to external
accounting software, BillPower has a General Ledger that is totally integrated
into the rest of the program. This program can simultaneously log a trans-
action, adjust the client's balance and aged receivables accordingly, AND up-
date the appropriate G/L accounts (other programs would require separate en-
tries for some of these events, if they could handle them at all).
BillPower is a "real time" system. No old fashioned batch postings or
end-of-period close-outs are ever needed. Transaction detail is retained until
the user (not the program) decides to omit it. In fact, old bills may even be
re-prepared long after other systems would have "flushed" the needed informa-
tion from the data base. BillPower's user interface is among the friendliest
on the market, and the program's flexibility and responsiveness cannot be
beaten anywhere.
Finally, BillPower may be used in conjunction with TickleX, the ultimate
scheduling software. When used together, these two programs will form the
backbone of your office's business activity.
On a network or stand-alone computer, BillPower will handle your time &
billing needs like nothing else. Give it a thorough work-out. Requires MS
Windows 95 or NT.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
INTEGRA OFFICE NT: Win95-based software that
seamlessly combines one of the very finest
office schedulers available with a complete
client database, robust time & billing
functions, and a simple GL. As a scheduler,
this program is absolutely unbeatable. And
its time, billing, and GL system is unique in
that everything throughout the system is
updated immediately when an entry is made.
No batch-postings or close-outs are needed.
LONG DESCRIPTION
INTEGRA OFFICE combines into one program the complete scheduling power of
Chronilist and the complete timekeeping, billing, and bookkeeping power of
BillPower.
This program will handle not only your busy itinerary, but that of
everyone in your office (or family). It will prepare calendars and other
reports that display one person's upcoming events or those for several people
simultaneously. Data can be filtered when a report is generated, so that
only events for a particular project, or only those events containing a
particular word, will be displayed.
The program's main strength is the completeness of its scheduling
capacity. Few programs even approach it in this regard, much less match
it. And, considering all it can do, the program is surprisingly easy to use.
Its reports, while not as infinitely customizable as those provided by those
output-oriented calendar producers with limited scheduling capability, are
attractive, functional, and simple to set up.
This program will optionally drag events forward from day to day until
you tell the program to tag them for deletion. This program even allows you to
link related events, so that a change to one will result in the automatic
modification of others. Finding free time, establishing recurring events,
viewing religious dates (Christian, Jewish, and Muslim), and tracking julian
dates are a snap for this program. And, as a bonus, the program includes a Log
module that tracks services performed, money spent, and money received. It
will even produce an Income-Expense report for any period of time you desire.
This is also one of the finest time & billing programs available at any
price, is a fully integrated timekeeping, billing, and bookkeeping system that
will produce a wide variety of reports, including income-expense statements,
balance sheets and aged receivables reports. The user has wide latitude in
designing billing formats that use any font and place transaction data wherever
desired. The program will even print mailing labels and form letters to your
clients.
Unlike some other time & billing programs that provide "links" to external
accounting software, this one has a General Ledger that is totally integrated
into the rest of the program. This program can simultaneously log a trans-
action, adjust the client's balance and aged receivables accordingly, AND up-
date the appropriate G/L accounts (other programs would require separate en-
tries for some of these events, if they could handle them at all).
This is a "real time" system. No old fashioned batch postings or
end-of-period close-outs are ever needed. Transaction detail is retained until
the user (not the program) decides to omit it. In fact, old bills may even be
re-prepared long after other systems would have "flushed" the needed informa-
tion from the data base. This program's interface is among the friendliest
on the market, and the program's flexibility and responsiveness cannot be
beaten anywhere.
On a network or stand-alone computer, this software will handle your
scheduling, timekeeping, billing and bookkeeping needs like nothing else.
