CUSTOM SOFTWARE

EXECTECH™ creates custom software solutions under the AJJA SoftwareŠ (pronounced AH HA!) label. We are seeking opportunities to provide customized software to any size of company that has a totally unique business process, or is seeking custom Sales Budgeting, Analysis and Commissions software, or custom MS Excel 97Ž & 200X Spreadsheets, or ACT!Ž Customizations.

For those of you with traditional businesses, or need WEB integration for their software, we recommend MacDOS Solutions, Inc. These folks are tops in their field.

Custom software is much more affordable than you think. Think of the costs associated with:

Researching and finding the right package
Converting your old data to the new database format
Finding out that the way your business runs doesn't fit any available OTS (off-the-shelf) package out there
Finding out that everything under the sun is in the package and that they are all required to be used for you to use the one or two features you want
Finding out that you must purchase additional modules for each function your business requires, if they are available (A/R, A/P, Order Entry, Inventory Control, General Ledger, Bills-of-Lading, Production Scheduling and so on)
Finding out someone can cut a check/order and shipping documents and then delete all traces of the action
There's no audit trail of who modified the record last or when
The reports don't give you the information you really need or in a way that it can be understood
You can't search for key words in memo records
The software is supported by a network of independent consultants and you can't find one to install the patches and upgrades tech support says you must have before they will help you on the phone
"Oh, that's a design limitation and no fix is planned."
"Yes, it's Y2K compliant." only to find out that it isn't and the company is no longer in business or that package has been replaced by another. "Didn't you get the notice we sent out?"

And, if your business is really unique ... do you hire a consultant to retrofit a OTS package? Then hire them again when you must upgrade to the next version of the OTS package or lose all your customization.

Sales Budgeting, Analysis and Commission Software

EXECTECH™ has a special interest in developing custom sales budgeting, sales analysis and sales commission software. We have provided customized solutions using ACT!Ž 4.0's export utility and custom software to provide management analytical tools for monitoring sales representative sales and activities for a major regional telephony provider. The price to accommodate over 150 sales representatives was less than $20,000 and that included ACT! upgrades and new licensing. It even included online help for ACT! and the custom software modules.

Another client required a sales accounting, lead tracking, analysis, and reporting, sales budgeting by product line and commission calculation and documentation solution. This system was delivered and installed for under $5,000 in two months.

We encourage you to contact us regarding such projects regardless of their complexity or your budget. Don't leave your company open to discrimination claims another day.

Custom Excel 97Ž, 200X and XP Spreadsheets

MicrosoftŽ ExcelŽ is a wonderfully powerful analytical tool. There are features and capabilities that could mean the difference between the success and failure of a project, purchase decision, or your entire business. Why not deploy standardized custom spreadsheets throughout your company? It is easy and not nearly as expensive as you may think.

Determine what you would like to see or know from your accounting system, or what you want a spreadsheet to do for you, then give us a call.

Please Note: MicrosoftŽ has released Service Release 2a (SR-2a) for Office 97Ž. We have installed and tested this update and have found no problems. You will need to install Service Release 1 (SR-1) prior to installing SR-2a.

ACT!Ž Customizations

ACT!Ž is one of the top contact management systems in the world today. We can add features, or change the way they work, or create software to analyze the activities of your sales force.

Be sure to call us about your ACT!Ž needs - upgrades, new licensing and/or customization.
