Built with Microsoft Technology
eProphet is a suite of 32 Bit applications developed and designed with
Microsoft® software to industry standards. Utilising Visual Basic™, ASP™ and
.NET™ Framework technologies - the Microsoft® development environment contains a
huge toolkit of advanced components. We have utilised this toolkit to equip
eProphet a powerful array of easy to use facilities.
eProphet is not 'just another Windows™ program', adherence to strict Windows™
development guidelines ensures that the eProphet backoffice system has a long,
productive life span - which in turn represents a low risk, long term quality
software investment for your business.

Context Sensitive Help
eProphet has a fully integrated Windows™ help system which can be accessed from
anywhere within the program. The help system provides program assistance to
everyday usage and is an excellent quick 'refresher' utility for store managers.
Help system activation is easy and area context sensitive - meaning that the
help information that is displayed first to you is the most relevant to where
you are in the program at that moment. Each help document also contains links to
other relevant documents and related 'How To' instructional documents.

User Ordered Data Listing
eProphet provides advanced data listing facilities and control. Data lists on
screen can be ordered by a particular column to help you locate critical
information quickly and precisely. Single items in a list can be found instantly
by using our new character sensitive access mode.
|
Streamlined Entry Processes
eProphet automatically downloads 95% of operational data through electronic
connections with your POS, timeclock and the internet. User data entry is
primarily required as a data confirmation and validate step. To streamline these
daily data entry operations, eProphet incorporates sophisticated user centred
data entry processes. Data is entered in a logical order to the user (not the
computer), which means managers spend less time behind the computer and more
time on the floor running the store.
|
POS Communications
eProphet supports comprehensive data transfer from common computerised register
systems such as PAR, Panasonic and NewPos. The system extracts product usage
figures and sales data periodically from the registers and processes that data
into logical formats for analysis and storage.
|
Timeclock Communications
eProphet is fully equipped to download labour clockings from a digital timeclock
(as opposed to keyboard entry). Although the Abcom timeclock
is recommended for this task, eProphet may also download clockings from other timeclocks where such an interface is available and feasible.
|
Web Communications
eProphet is fully Web Enabled and is capable of downloading information and data
via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Internet. This special type of connection is
used in a number of ways throughout the eProphet system:
- Your eProphet backoffice system is updated remotely over that internet connection the moment upgrades are released. That means your system is
always running at peak performance with all the latest facilities.
- eProphet has the ability to electronically "receive" invoices from suppliers via
the internet and then load the data straight into your Stock System. Once you
review, alter/approve the invoice it is then posted into your accounting system.
That means no more entry and re-entry of multi page invoices - that will not
only save you a significant amount of time and money, it will also make your
Stock system more accurate and relevant - eg. avoiding ordering errors.
- Integration with eProphet Online - to include planned functionality such as the posting of employee rosters online.
- Integration with eProphet Central File Maintenance (CFM) - to automate the entry of new stock items into your stock system.

System Security
eProphet operates within a user/password secure environment. This ensures that
only authorised users may access the system. Furthermore, user codes are
attached to system changes and actions so that accountability can be determined
if problems should arise.
|
Business Reporting
eProphet generates comprehensive, uniform reports at the click of a mouse. In
addition to standard daily reports printed to provide a paper trail of day to
day operations, users can print a myriad of succinct analysis reports to aid in
store decision making processes. A sample range of eProphet reports is
listed below.
All reports can be printed to any Windows compatible printer. Furthermore, to
save on paper costs, if you simply wish to view a report out of interest - you
can do so on the monitor before electing to print. All reports are time/date
stamped to permit easy file keeping.
