The BusinessCraft family
of software includes a wide variety of modules
that are fully integrated to provide a total
financial and management accounting solution
for many different industries. BusinessCraft
interfaces via xfODBC to reporting
applications like Microsoft Access, Excel, and
Crystal Reports, allowing end-users to easily
run custom reports on job costing and other
information like inventory and stock levels.
They have also incorporated a customized reports
menu system into their standard menu system,
allowing users to put their own Crystal reports
into the menu and access them just like any
other menu entry—all they have to do is place
the Crystal ".RPT" files into a directory
and that directory tree is displayed in a selection
list. In addition, BusinessCraft uses xfODBC
to develop Web pages using ADO (active data
objects) to access the data using standard SQL
query statements. This allows very quick data
access, and is also very user-friendly for programmers
with little or no experience with Synergy/DE.
