Sage Pastel Evolution delivers an entirely new dimension in business management software that will assist in taking your business way beyond the traditional realms of accounting software.

In the past, accounting systems stored a wealth of information relating to your customers, suppliers, inventory and so on. This information was often limited to accounting data, i.e. the financials.

Sage Pastel Evolution takes accounting to the next level by allowing you to not only capture finanacials, but also to perform what we refer to as business activities. Additional data is integrated and presented together with the financials, providing you with a holistic view of your business instead of a financials-only view. This gives you the ability to control your financial situation as well as your relationships with your customers, suppliers and employees.

Evolution Standard Core Features in Details

The System Manager is the control centre for the entire Evolution application. Tthe system's user interface Featuring a System Tree, it controls the system environment and setup, on-line help, multi-level password security and displays all the modules included in Evolution.

Evolution delivers enhanced efficiency, productivity and security to any business, including:

• A consistent user interface no matter which module you are currently using, i.e. Fixed Assets, Accounting all share the same common interface.
• Navigation tools such as menus, a hierarchical system tree, toolbars, and favourites.
• Powerful tools for maintaining, sorting, searching and grouping your lists of data.
• The ability to customise the interface (per user) to suit each user’s requirement.

Database System

Sage Pastel Evolution takes advantage of the latest database technologies, utilising MS-SQL Server 2000 2005 or Microsoft’s Database Engine (MSDE) / SQL Server Express. And while MS-SQL provides Evolution with the ability to scale support to an unlimited number of concurrent users, data integrity is ensured through the use of SQL’s transaction roll-back feature. Pastel Evolution includes MSDE for 1 – 10 user sites. Larger sites will need to purchase MS-SQL Server on a per user basis.

Store Data Indefinitely

The General Ledger stores 5 years of data and requires no month or year-end procedures. Accounting periods can however be blocked, preventing transaction processing to those periods that have been closed. The Subsidiary Ledgers (Inventory, Receivables, Payables etc.) store information indefinitely.

Transaction Rollback

Data protection and integrity is significantly improved. This feature optimises data integrity by ensuring that users will never have incomplete entries or corrupt files, even if they suffer a power failure while a transaction is in process.

Supports Multiple Companies

The system can maintain multiple sets of books, each with its own chart of accounts. Access to companies and their related functions are password protected. Data can also be copied from one company to another, simplifying the company setup procedure.

Transaction Drill Downs

Drill down functionality allows you to find exactly what you’re looking for, quickly. From summarised information, to detailed transactions, right down to source documents - just by clicking your mouse
