Services
Implementation Assistance
We provide comprehensive implementation support for Visual Manufacturing and Visual Financials systems. Our consultants help configure core modules including order entry, inventory control, and general ledger to match your specific business processes. With expertise in both initial implementations and system reconfigurations, we ensure smooth deployment while minimizing operational disruptions through methodical planning and execution.
Custom Report Development
Our team specializes in customizing standard reports and creating new financial statements using Visual Financials' Report Writer Window. We optimize data presentation by modifying existing templates or developing custom reports with Microsoft Access and Crystal Reports. This includes MTD/YTD comparisons, budget analysis, and inventory reconciliation reports that provide actionable business intelligence tailored to your operational requirements.
Database Conversions
We facilitate SQLBase to SQL Server migrations for Visual Enterprise users. Our proven conversion process ensures data integrity during database transitions while maintaining system functionality. This includes schema restructuring, data validation, and post-conversion testing to guarantee seamless operation with the latest Visual software versions, minimizing downtime during the transition process.
Macro Programming
Our consultants develop custom macros to extend Visual Manufacturing's functionality. These automated solutions handle data validation, process automation, and user-specific workflows that aren't available in standard modules. By implementing tailored macro code, we help streamline operations, reduce manual errors, and enhance system efficiency through customized programming that integrates seamlessly with existing business processes.
Cost Flow Analysis
We specialize in resolving cost flow discrepancies and reconciling inventory values with general ledger balances. Our services include diagnosing existing costing issues, implementing corrective measures, and training staff on inventory valuation best practices. Through detailed analysis and system optimization, we help maintain accurate financial records and improve inventory tracking accuracy across manufacturing operations.
