Paragon Computer Solutions Brings Online Expense Management to Peachtree Software Customers
Integration Streamlines Expense Management Process for Small Businesses
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 9, 2007) - Paragon Computer Solutions Inc. announced today
that they have joined the Peachtree Add-On Program as a Silver Partner,
integrating Paragon's TripsWare™ online travel and entertainment expense
management reimbursement system with Peachtree by Sage Accounting.
Through this integration, Peachtree customers can leverage their current
software investment and extend the program's already rich feature set with
detailed expense management, provided through TripsWare online.
"Peachtree appeals to small businesses who are serious about their
accounting, and TripsWare will be an invaluable tool for our customers,
helping them to maintain better control over their expenses and easily pull
that information into their Peachtree accounting software," said Dan
DeRosa, vice president, product management, Business Management Division,
Sage Software. "We are pleased to introduce TripsWare to our customers so
that they can take advantage of a solution that will help them save time
and enable effective expense tracking."
Attractive for small to mid-sized firms whose employees submit expense
reports on a regular basis, TripsWare automates the expense reporting
process, enabling firms to automatically download credit card and out of
pocket cash expenses, then allocate and submit reports online. Accounting
can then process these reports and easily import all data to Peachtree for
automatic account reconciliation and payment processing.
"Many firms underestimate the significant costs of time and inefficiency in
having their employees complete manual expense reports or even
spreadsheets," said Noel Furniss, principal, Paragon Computer Solutions.
"Back office staff members are often overburdened with time consuming
duplicate data entry of expenses. TripsWare allows firms to streamline all
aspects of their expense reporting cycle, for an immediate return on
investment."
In any small business, time is at a premium. With TripsWare online, firms
eliminate double data entry, improve speed and accuracy of travel
reimbursement and gain real time insight into their T & E spending.
"TripsWare complements our existing procedures, seamlessly integrates with
Peachtree and required no downtime for us to implement," said Mark Epstein,
managing director- chief financial officer, Tailwind Capital. "Since
implementation, TripsWare has automated our expense reporting and allowed
our AP manager to process in one hour what previously took her a full day,
freeing her up to manage other business-critical tasks."
TripsWare is available as a monthly subscription service. For more
