PETALUMA, CA — (Marketwire) — 07/19/11 — Two well-established software suppliers have partnered to provide an integrated manufacturing system to AccountMate accounting software clients. TIW Technology, Inc. has become an AccountMate Vertical Solution Partner and both product lines will be offered through AccountMate Solution Providers. TIW will be featured in AccountMate-s Vertical Solution Catalog of select independently-developed software programs. TIW President Rod Hatcher commented, “AccountMate has been a solid presence in the marketplace with an excellent accounting product for many years. Together we will be able to offer AccountMate clients a sophisticated accounting and manufacturing ERP solution for complex issues.”
TIW-s ALERE Manufacturing suite integrates with AccountMate-s accounting modules to deliver a solution that enables users to graphically create multi-level bills of material and optimize available shop floor capacity via a 3D graphical analysis. It also allows completion of work order functions, monitors labor, material and machine costs as well as usage. This integration allows for the inventory retrieval and updating in AccountMate-s accounting software program.
This manufacturing processing provides MRP (Material Requirements Planning) functionality that is supported by AccountMate-s handing of warehouse and bin locations, serial number processing, stock and non-stock item identification and real-time updated inventory information.
An especially important time saver is the ALERE Sales Order Configurator (SOC). AccountMate clients can configure products “on the fly” at the time of sales order entry. For example, a chair manufacturer would not to be required to produce separate bills of material for every possible variation of each of their chairs. The type of fabric or leather, colors, and even choice of arm rests could all be specified at the time the client-s order is taken. From this sales order the specific bill of materials and pricing will be created in real time. This SOC is a huge time and effort saver for the clients- employees and it speeds up the time that it takes to get products built, moved through the warehouse and ready to ship. A key benefit is the assurance that the client gets exactly what they ordered the first time.
