New Release: Pegasus CIS 5
Pegasus CIS 5 is a brand-new product and is based on the existing Pegasus Construction Industry Solutions product – Pegasus CIS. Built with modern development technologies such as VB.NET and .net 4.8, with a new UI, it delivers numerous new improved features and benefits over its predecessor, Pegasus CIS. It integrates with Opera 3 SQL and VFP Financials and Payroll applications, as well as Sage 50 and 200.
CIS 5 has a completely refreshed look and feel, plus a host of new features to improve your business processes. Here’s a few reasons to upgrade:
Reasons to Upgrade
Unrivalled User Interface
A totally new user interface that provides:
- Unequalled on-screen information retrieval capabilities.
- Screen layouts customisable by the user (employing drag and drop technology).
- Multiple Tabs, like a web browser, so people can work in different modules at the same time
- Powerful and easy to use List View creation. One-click integration with Microsoft Word® and Excel®.
- Multiple Windows are available on the forms such as Customers, Suppliers and Subcontractors so that people can display different types of information such as the base details, transactions and documents etc.
Powerful Reporting
A totally new enhanced approach to management reporting across the system that provides;
- Microsoft Excel® Integration
- Integrated Crystal Reports©
- Ad-hoc onscreen reporting
- Integrated dashboards
The first release of Pegasus CIS will include a number of predefined Dashboards. In a subsequent release of Pegasus CIS 5, there will be a Dashboard Designer module available that will allow Dashboards to be modified, created or to be imported (typically where a Pegasus Partner has created specific Dashboards for a customer). These Dashboards radically improve and optimise the reporting capability within Pegasus CIS 5.
