 HirePOS TIPS OF THE MONTH: 

 

1. Bookings & Hire - Dates & Times

 

HirePOS provides accuracy to the minute for Booking & Hire times, however if you only wish to track the days and would like to exclude the time component, then go to Setup > Preferences > Misc., and enter 0:00 in the Booking Default Time boxes.  All new bookings will default the time to 12am.  Your tax invoice layout can also be customised to drop the time component from the hire dates.  Please enquire for further information if applicable. 

 

2. Crossloop (its Free)

 

Many potential HirePOS customers have successfully installed Crossloop (its Free), to enable them to receive real-time setup assistance with the program and be up and running within 30 minutes of installation.  Please do not hesitate to call for a live online demonstration or remote assistance.  Crossloop can be installed by running the following link: www.hirepos.com.au/downloads/crossloopsetup.exe (No need to register during install).

 

 

General Updates

 

We are improving our software daily, based on feedback from our users.  For details, please review the update history on our Website when installing your next update.

• A new Stand-down procedure has been added to the program that allows an individual items stand-down duration to be deducted from the auto-calc figures.
• The Maintenance Module has been further enhanced to allow for more in-depth records to be kept for customers equipment as well as enabling individual companions to be added to each item.
• Additional sort functions have been added to Batch Print Invoices and Copy Price Structure to Other Items.
• Further additional reports have been added in Accounting, Sales, Suppliers, Payments, Cost Profit and Returns to enable more detailed analysis of business performance.

Budget module:    Now is the time to action this for the new financial year - call us for a demonstration if you are interested.

The new Budget module allows you to setup a budget to help manage your cash flow.  This module enables you to review all expenses as a percentage of sales and compare actual amounts with budgeted amounts.  It will highlight areas of concern and assist in calculating where expenses can be better managed to improve returns.  Actual income and expenditure values are automatically loaded into the budget as the months go by, and the module can also calculate a budget for you automatically based on the previous years figures (which you can adjust from there).  You can even look at previous years and create budgets for the years ahead! Comes complete with Preview and Print functions for more detailed analysis with your bookkeeper or Accountant if required.

Integrated EFTPOS feature 

This feature allows HirePOS to communicate directly with EFTPOS terminals and therefore eliminates double-entry and potential user error.  The purchase/refund amount  is sent directly to the terminal, and you are notified via HirePOS as to whether the card has been swiped and whether verification has been accepted or not.  Costs will be minimal on software upgrade and also for your bank to change over machines.  Approved for Australia and NZ use at this stage.

Update your website from HirePOS & receive orders

This feature allows HirePOS to communicate directly with your Website, and therefore allow you to update an inventory list on your own Website for example.  It can also enable the receipt of orders directly from your Website as well.  It can be offered with your existing Website or hosted by HirePOS.  Charges are based on individual requirements.  Please contact us for further details.

'Cost Profit' module, Lease tracking, Asset Register & ROI reports

This module allows you to enter the lease period and payment details of hire equipment, allowing the program to provide you with up-to-date costs on equipment.  The ROI and Asset Register reports have been updated to reflect this as well and should prove quite helpful for accounting purposes.

' New Zealand ' GST Return

This new function automatically calculates 'NZ GST Return' figures on either a Cash or Accrual basis, when using the Bookkeeping edition.  Additional reports have now been included for our New Zealand users.

Payment by Credit Card

For your convenience, we now accept payments via credit card as well as direct transfer. 

Lease Payments

We now provide the opportunity for approved purchasers to lease HirePOS software for a period of 2 or 3 years.  The lease agreement will include the purchase price of the edition required, lease fees, plus all upgrades and support for that period.  Accounts will be payable on a quarterly basis (8) or (12), and at the completion of this time the program can then be purchased for a nominal residual figure.  Normal annual membership fees will apply after this period.

Customer Referrals

We have had many of our existing users recommend HirePOS to new clients.  As this process continues we would like to offer those who provide a successful referral (i.e. new purchase for a new customer), their next 12 months Annual Membership and Upgrade free of charge. 

Using HirePOS with 3rd Party Accounting Software

For those using third-party accounting software products such as MYOB or QuickBooks, we now have statement layouts available that are very similar to these programs and will provide you with some consistency, or you may choose to have your statements customised by us to suit your exact requirements (our normal hourly charge rate applies).  For example, you can have Current, 30, 60, 90 summaries, or have the aging work by calendar month rather that from the invoice date, or you may like to add your business logo.  Remember, we can also customise invoice layouts, delivery dockets, and many other reports (our normal hourly charge rate applies). 
We also have an export module, which can be customised to create export files for any accounting package.  

We are improving our software daily, based on feedback from our users.  For details, please review the update history on our Website when installing your next update.
