Sage 50 Accounts 2009 - New Features

1. Clear your mind with our in-built diary

Did I remember to make that follow up call? When do I need to pay my suppliers? Our in-built diary helps prioritise every item on your daily workload, sets reminders for recurring tasks, and integrates with Microsoft Outlook to automate diary events, such as following up promised payments. You can also link your tasks to your contacts, so you have all the details you need right then and there.

2. Keep track of the flow of your money

Our improved dashboard let’s you see an instant view of the credit position of your business. You can see where your money is, how old your customer or supplier debt is, what’s due, what’s overdue, what’s disputed, what’s promised to pay and what’s still to be allocated all in one place.

3. Chase the right payments to keep your business breathing

Always know who you should be spending time chasing for payments; for example what’s overdue, when money is due in and who has promised payment. Promised payments are automatically added to the diary, and if payments are not received you’ll be reminded to follow them up.

Plan ahead to avoid the crunch; You can now see who you need to pay based on supplier and age criteria. So you can see what payment commitments you’ll need to make in the coming weeks and months, helping you plan ahead.

4. Give the right person the right message... on time, every time

Different people like to be contacted at different times in different ways. That’s why you can now record and store names, telephone numbers, email addresses, office addresses, preferred contact times and mailing preferences for all of your contacts, all in one place. And when you make invoice, letter and statement runs, you can use these details to send them via email in a batch. So you always know that your message will reach the right person.

5. Build your communications, build on your professionalism

Payment disputes? Information requests? All contact can be recorded on your communication history, together with a follow-up, so you’ll always have the right information to refer back to. Whenever you generate a letter or statement, these details will be automatically recorded into the communication history.

6. Keep your customers and supplier relationships strong with flexible payment methods

Your suppliers might insist on being paid in different ways. That’s why you can now do a cheque run for all suppliers who like to be paid this way, or an e-payment run for those who want BACS payments.

With Sage Payments Solution, your customers will have an easier way to pay as well – directly by card. This can be done over the phone or even by Internet, then posted directly into your accounts to ensure that everything is kept up-to-date.

7. Quickly and securely run your reports together

Our new batch reporting feature allows you create your own batches of reports and run them off all in one go. You can password protect any PDF file containing sensitive financial information, so only those with the authority to access the files have the means to do so.

8. Handle your transactions fluidly with improved Bank Reconciliation

Bank reconciliation is easier than ever before. ‘Smart Totals’ allow you to see the value of any highlighted transaction. And with our new retrospective bank reconciliation report, you’ll be able to see the reconciled balance of your account at any given time – particularly useful at month and year-end.

9. Keep your software as fresh as your business

You want your software to perform to the highest possible standard. Our automatic updates feature let’s you know if there’s anything you need to make your software more efficient, and quickly updates it for you.

10. Mistakes are natural, corrections are easy

Everybody makes mistakes, but correcting them has never been easier. You can now find, view, correct, or even delete transaction or postings at the touch of a button.

11. Breeze through the new features with ease

Our improved assistance feature means you can quickly learn these new features with ease. There’s also a library of videos to guide you through them, and you can try out a new area of the software or a new posting with our practise feature first.
