Abstract Consulting of Edmonton delivers turnkey business solutions to an intriguing mix of corporate customers, from machine shops to construction companies, from insurance agencies to oilfield service outfits.

Such clients don't share a whole lot in common – except a need for user-friendly, all-purpose accounting software that will never let them down.

Virtually all these emerging and mid-market business proprietors sing the praises of TRAVERSE – a versatile accounting and business-management backbone designed from 100-per-cent Microsoft technology.

"Customers who've become acquainted with this system are overwhelmed by its range of capabilities," enthused Ivan Pylypow, senior technical consultant and a key member of Abstract Consulting's executive team.

This management group brings a combined 30 years of Open Systems Accounting Software experience to the table. So, rest assured, these professionals don't get dazzled by every new piece of software that happens along.

But Abstract Consulting's president, Ric Hepburn, makes no bones about it. He thinks TRAVERSE is something truly special. "Once small and growing business owners get familiar with the amazing functionality of TRAVERSE, they won't settle for anything less," Mr. Hepburn said.

TRAVERSE means intuitive functionality. It means Excel-based financial reporting and custom reports, as well as drill-down and graphing capabilities But most of all TRAVERSE means value. No other accounting suite in this marketing range can match its price-to-performance ratio.

And K2 Enterprises, the accounting software research firm, ranked TRAVERSE No. 1 following a comparison test with a dozen competitors.

By the way, TRAVERSE is a piece of cake for users familiar with Microsoft Windows.

But perhaps it's time to get down to cases, with a point-by-point rundown of the best TRAVERSE has to offer.

The team at Abstract Consulting is particularly buzzed by the TRAVERSE e-commerce module, which allows your customers – and your sales reps – to conduct every facet of your business via the Internet. The e-commerce module includes online ordering capability, as well as customer inquiry and order functions, cost and pricing information and a sales-rep component.

Another attention-grabber is the TRAVERSE project-costing module, which allows users to track the cost effectiveness of specific work projects, while monitoring staff productivity, as the work moves towards completion.

TRAVERSE truly does it all, from its inventory module (which allows users to fully control inventory within multiple warehouses) to its bank reconciliation and payroll modules, and many more.

Of course, Abstract Consulting takes pride in more than merely marketing fantastic software.

"When you buy software from us, it's just the beginning of our relationship," said Mr. Hepburn, who pledges to supply full system integration services, and system support, wherever and whenever needed.

"With Abstract Consulting, system support is just a phone call away," he smiled.
