Value Added Features
With Diamond Discovery accounting and business management software, a range of value-added features and functionality can be integrated easily and seemelssly into your business.
Credit Card Integration
If your business accepts (or would like to accept) credit and debit cards for payment for your goods and services, then integrating the card payment processing into the accounting application can make sense. Not only does it save time and improve accuracy by removing the need to re-key transaction data, but it also provides full traceability to your benefit and also for your customers.
Whilst retaining essential security features, we can reduce the often high costs associated with PDQ machines, transaction charges and dedicated phone line costs.
Digital Pen Technology
This really has to be seen to be believed. For example, a paper-based order can be completed with the customer and signed accordingly. As it's being written with the special digital pen, the data is being captured and can be transferred to the accounts software where a sales order is produced for manual checking. For the times you're away from your premises, this data can be transferred via your mobile phone using bluetooth to the accounting system via 3G or GPRS.
Again, this can save time and reduce errors caused by re-entering data. Sales Orders and Invoices taken by staff out of the office can be seamlessly transferred and processed by your financial software with confirmations emailed to your customer potentially before your staff have left your customer's premises. Efficiencies can be introduced in many other areas of your business - for example customer feedback forms, questionnaires, application forms etc. - as well as introducing a siginficant impression of professionalism and efficiency to any customer-facing roll within your organisation.
PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)
The accounting software, specifically stock control for example, can utilise PDAs for data capture where having a physical PC is not feasible. Stock checks, order packaging and deliveries can all use PDAs to record the actual transactions in real-time.
Touch Screens and EPOS Hardware
Diamond Discovery's accounting applications are not limited to using the traditional input/output devices connected to a PC. It is possible to control the entire system from a touch screen at the point of sale, print to high-speed label printers or receipt printers and record data via a barcode scanner, card reader or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to ensure all aspects of your business are efficient and accurate.
