At drupa, DDS will be promoting Accura, a true 32 Bit Windows MIS software package. The programme, currently installed in over 400 printing companies in the UK, provides fast and reliable information management for litho, digital, screen, web and label printers. As well as the UK, Accura is available in Australia, Eire and South Africa. The core module covers Estimating, Works instruction, Proof note, Delivery notes/Labels and creation of an Invoice which can be exported to a third party accounts package.
The programme has an integral layout designer and report query wizard and provides on screen faxing and e-mail, as well as a range of standard Management Reports and Production Work To Lists.
Optional modules include, Stock Control, Purchase Ordering, and Job Costing with Remote Data Capture from a PC or Mac.
New Products to be featured at drupa will be an SQL version of Accura, and Accura/CRM, a fully integrated contact management programme, providing direct links with Word and Outlook.
Also featured will be Accura /ASP the NEW E-commerce Internet module. The product uses Microsoft ASP scripting linked to an SQL data base, enabling printers to offer their clients secure access to their data. Features include: Quote Request, Order placement, Full history, PDF Proof checking, Order tracking, Stock call offs and pre-views.
Quote Wizard allows users to generate real-time prices, on screen from the printers own templates. The printer can customise the website easily from within Accura – without any
programming or website design experience, and enable or restrict access to individual areas. Accura/ASP can be hosted by the printer or a third party. The Accura product has its own integral language translator, and can be easily translated into any European language.
