Get the Information you Need
For a bird’s eye view of your business, the Dashboard in Sage One Accounting is the quickest and easiest way to get an overview of how your business is doing. Dashboard Widgets can be added or removed to display only the details most relevant to your business.
Managing your To Do’s
The To Do List reminds you of who owes you money and whom you owe money to. By clicking on a line in the To Do List, you can drill down to a detailed breakdown of that line, and even further to the individual documents and transactions that make up the balance.
Getting the Bird’s Eye View of your Company
See who your best customers are on the Dashboard Top Customers by Sales view, or see which Customers you need to keep an eye on in the Dashboard Top Customers by Outstanding Balance view. Want to see how sales are going? Have a look at the Dashboard Sales History graph. Detailed information can be seen by clicking on a bar in the chart. Which of your items is your money spinner? The Dashboard Top Selling Items highlights your best performers giving quantities sold and sales values.
Drilling Down to Detailed Information
The Drill Down feature in Sage One Accounting lets you look deeper into information that is presented on the screen. This drill down functionality is available on the Dashboard as well as report previews. When working on the Dashboard, for example, you can start by viewing the Sales History graph by month. By clicking on a bar on the graph you will drill down to a daily view of the sales for the month. By drilling down once more, you can view the original invoice.
Similarly, when you preview reports on the screen, the system offers drill down capabilities where possible. This enables you to view more detail about the displayed amount. For example, if you view a list of customers, you can drill down on any customer that has a balance. The drill down will take you to the customer statement, showing you all the transactions that make up the balance. You can then drill down further by clicking on, for example, an invoice, to see the original invoice.
Manage your Customers, Suppliers and Inventory
Using Sage One Accounting, you can manage your customers, suppliers and inventory items. As you process, Sage One Accounting keeps track of sales per customer and per item, and purchases by supplier and item. You can create customer categories, supplier categories and item categories to analyse your sales.
Customer Information on your Smartphone
The Sage One Accounting iPhone* application puts your customer information in the palm of your hands. Log on from wherever you are to view customer information and record notes (which will automatically display in your To Do’s on the Dashboard). Search for customers and contact them straight from your iPhone, using your standard phone or email applications. Find your way to your customer’s offices using the map links and view your customer’s sales history while you are on the go!
