Accounting Software Chopsticks or Forks?
Frequently I am asked how the eclat Accounting Software differs from MYOB, Quickbooks and the like.
The best explanation I can give is that other brands require you to have both bookkeeping knowledge and GST knowledge to successfuly process data. And unfortunately, if you don’t have this knowledge, expensive human resources are needed to make the corrections – usually in the office of your accountant.
Did you know that in accounting practices valuable man hours are wasted rectifying work carried out by clients who use traditional Accounting Software?
To overcome this costly exercise businesses need to become super efficient with their transaction processing. This can only happen by using either smart people or smart technology. The most time and cost efficient way of the two is smart technology.
After reviewing the eclat accounting software, a senior researcher made a succinct observation. He said, “Other brands require the user to bend to match the software, whereas eclat bends the software to match the user.”
Translation: Competing brands expect you as their customer to study bookkeeping and GST legislation as well as learn to use their product, and if you don’t have the time for that, hire the services of a so-called ‘expert’. But eclat products have ‘smarts’ built into the software so that the software reacts to data input and does the thinking for you.
It’s a little like dining at an Asian Restaurant. If you aren’t trained in the use of chopsticks then you will struggle to use them. MYOB and other software packages are software chopsticks. You are expected to study the art of chopsticks, or have an expert who knows how to use them come in and feed you.
Eclat is the fork… allowing you to savour your delicious meal quickly, neatly, and most importantly, stress free.
