Abak Upgrades Time and Billing Software

Abak Software has released version 7.0 of its Abak time, billing and project management software.

The latest version includes a new dashboard feature, a resource-planning module, electronic invoicing, integration with Simply Accounting, and the option to view and print reports in a larger format. The new dashboard offers a quick view of key information for managing time and resources.

The new resource-planning module enables employees to be scheduled for multiple projects. Schedules can be planned by employee, day and 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, managers can assess the actual availability of each employee to assign resources based on project requirements.

Companies are now able to generate and send invoices via e-mail with Abak. E-mail 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, in addition to support in earlier versions for Accpac, QuickBooks, Avantage, Fortune, 1000/Acomba, and Virtuo. Integration with Simply Accounting is accomplished via ASCII. Other enhancements in Abak 7.0 include workflow module alerts that notify users when a project’s current status has been modified.
