Abak Softwares releases new version 7.0 of its time, billing and project management software.

Abak Softwares has launched version 7.0 of its Abak time, billing and project management software. It includes several key features and enhancements including a new dashboard, a Resource Planning module, electronic invoicing, integration with Simply Accounting, as well as an improved visual of generated reports. The Owner says these enhancements provide greater flexibility and ease-of-use enabling small-to-medium size companies to further optimize their invoicing processes, simplify time management and increase overall business efficiency.

A new Abak Dashboard has been added providing management with a quick and comprehensive view of key information required to manage project time and resources, presented in a user-friendly interface.

Abak's new Resource Planning Module enables the scheduling of employees on multiple projects. Schedules can be planned by employee, by day and by hour. The new feature also enables management to compare scheduled versus actual hours spent on any given project in order to determine the man-hour profitability of each project. In addition, management can easily assess the actual availability of each employee facilitating the assignment of resources based on project requirements.

To accelerate the billing cycle while reducing paper consumption, companies are now able to generate and send invoices via email. Email text accompanying the invoice can be pre-set or customized for each individual invoice, based on client billing preferences.

Version 7.0 now includes integration with Simply Accounting, adding to the extensive list of major accounting systems already supported such as ACCPAC, QuickBooks, Avantage, Fortune, 1000/Acomba, and Virtuo.

Integration with Simply Accounting is also accomplished via ASCII.
