Flexible & In-depth
With government reporting requests and the well-being of many band members to account for, a sophisticated and customized solution is required in order to develop the community and help it reach its highest potential. Through a combination of advanced accounting features, web technologies and intelligent reporting the Sage 300 ERP Accpac First Nations Solution can provide a solution that will work for your unique situation. From case and community management to housing inspection and family services, The Answer Company has your community covered.
Multi-Departmental Accounting & Accounts Payable Distribution
Our Accounts Payable module will allow you observe all payments made to your band members and third parties (e.g. Electric bills, property rental etc.) and pay with the method you prefer right through the software. This will all be completed while making sure reporting to the various funding and government agencies has been completed on schedule. Additionally, through the Sage CRM module you will be able to work with your band members, helping them identify the issues that are preventing them from achieving their employment and lifestyle goals.
General Ledger Distribution Payroll
The Answer Company's First Nations ERP solutions will also help with general community management. The Sage 300 ERP Accpac system and its various modules will be able to track the various members of the community, analyze their relevant data and create detailed reports to plan for their future needs. Specifically this will help you to analyze health issues and create preventative measures, anticipate infrastructural needs given the communities growth rate and evaluate the skills of your band members to maximize efficiency and job placement. Modules such as General Ledger can even help with smaller day-to-day challenges like the creation and maintenance of voter lists and the status of communities members who have disabilities and require unique care plans.
Asset Tracking
Asset tracking is another key component of our First Nations solution. You will be able to track all financial and physical data regarding your assets (e.g. houses, communal buildings, vehicle etc.) in modules like General Ledger and use other modules such as Accounts Receivable to create detailed reports and insights about your property. With this information, you will be able to address challenges concerning fire safety and hazards, overcrowding and residence occupation as well as repair and maintenance history. Additionally, the System Manager module will keep you up-to-date with building codes and other government regulations to ensure that your community is always in compliance.
Comprehensive Services Management
Sage 300 supports management of services, whether they are social or child-and-family in nature. Our solution allows you to track information on band members and administration or service or payment. These capabilities allow you to provide a superior level of service to band members and ensure visibility on service levels.
