#18 Red Wing Software

Who do you keep records for? You don′t have to change the way you look at reports. Present your information the way lenders, accountants, department heads and managers like to see it. If you have multiple companies, make better decisions by setting up and managing each company′s financials separately with the option to consolidate information for reporting.

Ever wonder who has been doing what in your accounting system? Menu level security allows you to control the functions each user has access to. An easy to view the audit trail allows you to see changes to transactions and detect questionable activity.

Are you encountering errors, kick–outs, or lockups? Your business is likely outgrowing the capacity of your current system. Don′t get frustrated by reaching the limitations of your software. With CenterPoint, you can enter unlimited transactions, customers, vendors, inventory items and store as many years of history as you want.
