Production control and Financial Forecasting
for Your Company
Products Under Development
In order to improve the efficiency of the model development process and
inspired by the success of the VIRTUAL Winery product, VBSystems is
developing three additional standardized models. These models will include
complete documentation and most of the modules used in our custom
products, but are tailored to be easily implemented in smaller operations with generally less than $50 million in sales.
These products are to be similar to the VIRTUAL Winery model. They will be
well documented and be designed to be supported
through the internet. Fully functional evaluation downloads will be made
available - except if the default Company name or fiscal year end is
changed, the number of user products (or bills of material in the case of manufacturing
companies) will be limited. The products are designed to assist the user
with the implementation of sound financial accounting systems and a multi-level
standard chart of accounts (designed similar to the virtual winery) is included
with each model.
These products are in the design phase and any input as to additional
features is welcome. Please review this list of features and let us know
what you think - contact alondon@alondon,com.
Your input is the key to accomplishing our goals of providing the very best
general purpose financial models available on the market today. We can do
it with your help.
