APT TO RELEASE TCM4000+WORKFLOW LINK TO PASTEL ACCOUNTS

APT Projects is to release a newly developed link to Pastel Accounts for the TCM4000+workflow advanced business management solution. Distribution to key customer sites starts this week for final bedding, evaluation and feedback.

"Our link to Pastel allows a user to view data from Pastel Accounts within the TCM4000 displays without the need for the user to actually request information from Pastel," says link co-developer LPF Systems Lead Programmer Fanie Vd Merwe. "The next phase on which we are now engaged is development of the ability to take a sales order, place a purchase order through the TCM4000 interface and pass the information directly to Pastel Accounts".

"We are working with a number of accounts package developers, and LPF have delivered a highly effective and elegant solution on time," says APT Projects Head of Application Development Andrew Groom. "The productivity benefits of the link between TCM4000 and a company's accounts system are wide ranging and such new developments now form an increasing part of our development strategy".

Designed by Doncaster-based APT Projects, TCM 4000 + Workflow has been developed specifically for larger organisations that require more control over user access. The latest version provides a range of extra features. While retaining the intuitive interfaces common to the current latest version of the system, TCM 4000 + Workflow adds the ability to customise the record structure and to link to various accounting systems.

Major additions have been made to the Customer Service Management module making the product a top performer against the best of available bespoke systems. The system is a highly effective platform for adapting to a wide variety of vertical market needs as well as being the complete system for any organisation.

These include, for example those in the construction and engineering sector where the system deals with on-site record keeping, expediting materials and sub-contract services as well as providing the best housing and construction maintenance solution. For colleges and schools, TCM provides an effective solution to cross-referencing and keeping course records.

For those in manufacturing, the system provides a solution from sales forecasting to linking to Sage accounts for instant accounts information on customers and suppliers. TCM 4000 + Workflow also leads the field in the professional services area where it helps with compliance obligations as well as providing a complete database system for professional offices of all sizes.

Developed by APT Projects, TCM 4000 + Workflow is the result of an eight-year investment programme The system runs under Microsoft® Windows® 98, Millenium, NT Workstation and NT Server, 2000 Workstation and 2000 Server  and XP. More information on TCM at: . Or by email at: tcm@aptprojects.com .
