Spitfire's construction management system isn't just
founded on Microsoft technology - it is Microsoft technology - optimized
by Spitfire to meet your construction needs.
Not only is our software flexible, but our
company is too. Spitfire is a new company, with a new vision, committed
to providing you with the most satisfying information management experience
possible. Talk to us, you'll find us eager to meet your needs.
- Flex-Keys.
Spitfire allows you to segment sub-accounts,
project IDs, contract IDs, subcontract IDs, submittal IDs, task Ids,
vendor IDs, employee IDs, customer IDs, etc. into meaningful codes.
When you create your account and sub-account structure, you can use
Flex-key Assignment to define each segment comprising the account
numbers. This gives you a powerful method of distinguishing account
properties for inquiries and reporting.
- Customization Manager with a broad range of customization
capability within the context of the system
From flexible screen design to embedded
Visual Basic for Applications and ActiveX automation support, Spitfire's
Customization Manager can meet the simplest to the most complex customization
needs.
- Sophisticated multi-company capabilities allow
automated inter-company transactions
- Full period posting and closing flexibility across
modules
- Flexible batch status control and automatic batch
status reports for all transaction entries
- Ability to view summary information and drill
down to detail levels
- Flexible history retention at the summary and/or
detail transaction level
Simply relying on "open database and ODBC
connectivity" in order to share information with other sources
still leaves the user with lots of work to do. Spitfire on the other
hand has powerful, yet flexible features built into it that help make
it easy for you to move information from other sources into the system,
and move Spitfire information out to other decision support tools. For
example, the Transaction Import function allows you to import transactions
from other applications directly into Spitfire data entry screens; you
can import current depreciation transactions from another program into
the Journal Transactions screen. The imported transactions are then
subject to the same control and validation that they would be if they
had been entered directly into the screen, insuring the integrity of
the data.
Spitfire provides tight integration into Microsoft
Excel. Various input screens such as Budget Revision Maintenance have
direct Excel import/Export functions built right in.
There are numerous automated workflow and routing
controls within the system.
Included among these are:
- Automatically routes completed invoices, whether
created from Invoice and Adjustment entry, Automatic Invoice Creation,
or Scheduled Billing Release to the appropriate approver upon completion,
if approval is required. Rejected invoices are automatically routed
back to the preparer.
- Automatically routes completed budget revisions
for approval, and routes rejections of budgets back to the preparer.
- Automatically routes Subcontract(AP) Payment Requests
for approval, and routes rejections of these requests back to the
preparer.
Spitfire features highly flexible report control
options. Beyond simply using industry standard Crystal Reports as the
system reporting engine, Spitfire maintains a powerful report control
function that prevents users from having to modify underlying Crystal
Report source code in order to achieve many common report customizations.
This function flexibly passes information to Crystal Reports, giving
user-defined control over, data selection criteria, sorting, grouping,
page breaking and totaling without having to modify the underlying Crystal
Report source code. You can then create a library of report "data
templates" for each report, allowing you to easily create and store
for retrieval multiple "flavors" of a report, each with the
same look and feel.
- Screen Templates is an extremely powerful feature
that allows you to create one or more data templates for any screen
in the system. This allows you to pre-load any screen with commonly
used information, drastically reducing repetitive data entry.
- The Copy Special function allows you to copy an
entire data entry screen, or selected data "levels", to
paste into another screen or to any other Windows-based application.
This allows you, for example, to paste a Journal entry distribution
or an invoice to and from Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word. Like
Screen Templates, this feature can also drastically reduce repetitive
data entry.
- Accelerator keys enable you to type continuously
without having to use the mouse.
- Wildcard characters can be used in many areas
for convenient data lookup.
- With just a keystroke or a double-click of your
mouse button, you can quickly swap between "form view" and
"grid view" in any input screen.
- Quick Notes provide you with special data fields
to keep notes about the many details of your business within the system.
Notes can even be kept at the line item level for transaction entry
screens.
Use of the Microsoft SQL data engine, with full
application of transaction commit/rollback, protects the integrity of
your data against software, hardware, or power failures, Additionally,
importing transactions from an external source invokes the same business
rules and controls that are applied to regular data entry. This provides
the highest degree of both logical and physical database integrity.
