Our Construction Accounting system was developed specifically for contractors and sub-contractors of all sizes in all phases of construction. The system meshes an advanced data processing and control system with sophisticated, yet simple-to-use, on-line management information in any or all of the following areas:

				Payroll		Accounts Receivable
				Accounts Payable		Job Cost Analysis
				Purchase Order Control		General Ledger & Budgetary Control

Construction Accounting is a fully integrated total management information and accounting system built around Application Modules that can be personalized to user's needs.

EASY TO USE
The Construction Accounting system is an on-line and user-oriented system. All data tasks utilize easy-to-understand video screen formats which prompt even relatively unskilled operators simply to fill in the blanks.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION
All systems are fully integrated. You do not have to enter data twice. When data is entered, it will automatically be passed to other systems that also need that data.

DATA VALIDITY
Because all data processed by the Construction Accounting system is user-oriented and controlled, we've written special accuracy safeguards to prompt users to enter current data. The system automatically edits all data for consistency and reasonability, validates against master files displaying names and descriptions when appropriate, and totals batches for all long repetitive numeric entries.

DATA SECURITY
The Construction Accounting system protects all data files from unauthorized access by limiting the availability of files to individual users. In addition, the use of the various applications is further restricted to those authorized and who use the correct password.

INSTALLATION TIME
You can start using the Construction Accounting almost immediately. Your first application-payroll, for example-can be up and running within the first month. And when you'd expect to wait many months to start reducing operating costs and saving money, that's an advantage that really pays off) Thereafter, we can fit other applications of the CAS to your environment as fast as your people can master the relatively simple user skills - 6 months at the most, usually in 90 days.

TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION
Complete documentation is provided with each system. In addition, training is available at either Polymathic or at the user's site. Polymathic will make sure that your people learn to use the system correctly.

USER SATISFACTION
Polymathic is committed to provide the user with a system to meet his needs. All the sub-systems have been designed to be easily modified, and many options are available without any reprogramming.

Polymathic's Accounts Payable system is designed to provide the user with an effective yet economical means of controlling cash disbursements and outstanding invoices. This system can be interfaced with the Job Cost and General Ledger systems.

Flexibility has been built into the system to give the user as much freedom as possible. Cheques can be written by hand as well as on the computer without any loss of control.

All outstanding invoices are summarized by vendor and summary totals are shown for all future pay dates to assist the user in controlling the cash flow.

The Job Cost system brings together the expenses and billings from all facets of a job. It can automatically interface with the Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and General Ledger Systems for input. Its purpose is to produce an up-to-date accurate report for a given job. This report eliminates the need to look at payroll for labor cost, accounts payable for material, sub-contract, and other costs, as well as any other reports containing costs which rightfully should be charged to a job.

The system provides on-line updating and inquiry to all jobs. The data is up-to-date as of the last update run (updates can be run as often as necessary). Reports can be printed upon request for one or more jobs.

Estimate figures can be entered from the estimator's bid sheet when the job is received. They can then be updated as required.

Each category of costs carries estimate, cumulative, cost to complete and variance figures.

Finally, detail information can be shown for all codes and categories.

All of the above information is actually controlled by job numbers. It is totaled by job to provide a complete picture, or each job can be displayed separately.

In summary, Polymathic's Job Cost System is probably the most vital link of the entire General Accounting System. This phase will normally justify the cost of the entire system.

Polymathic's Purchase Order System is designed to provide the user with a simple means of controlling the flow of purchase orders, and its interaction with the Accounts Payable and Job Cost systems.

The system is designed to enable the user to update purchase orders on-line. The disposition of the purchase order is entirely up to the user. Purchase orders can be changed or deleted with the appropriate adjustments being made automatically to any other related system.

The system enables the user to update, inquire, or delete any purchase order, while also enabling the entry of receipts and specific items of any purchase order. Each on-line function that affects the purchase order in any way will generate an audit listing of any changes and prepare the necessary information for any other related system.

The system is very flexible, enabling the user to keep records of the lump-sum purchase orders, or with detailed receipts and/or detailed items of the purchase order In either case, the system is effective, yet economical.
