Choosing the right accounting software is the key to a successful business. Business owners have started to realize that managing finances with basic bookkeeping tools is not enough. They are unable achieve the expected business performance results without a good accounting software.
An online accounting or on-premises accounting software helps businesses to reach their full potential by improving business operation flow, increasing efficiency, and preventing human error. Hence increasing customer satisfaction and retention. Nurturing a good customer relationship will improve sales returns, profits, and increase cashflow.
Most cloud accounting software in the market only supports basic invoicing for bookkeeping along with basic account reporting. Meanwhile, on-premise software gives users the option to customise their software to suit their own unique industry workflow. It can be challenging when a business that uses cloud accounting suddenly requires more specialised services to accommodate their growth but only to realize that their cloud accounting software does not support it. Therefore, it is important to choose the right business tools for your business from the beginning.
SQL Cloud Accounting perfectly combines both the benefits of cloud accounting and on-premise customisable software. SQL provides a unique cloud accounting service called “SQL Hybrid cloud”. SQL Hybrid cloud is an accounting software as a service (SaaS) that combines flexibility, agility, customizability, unlimited storage and access all in one neat package!
Users can access SQL Accounting software either through the web browser or through the software application installed on their own computer. The advantage of SQL hybrid cloud is that business operations remain uninterrupted even without internet access.
Does your business require specialised payment calculations, specific security or privacy setting? Customisations are sometimes needed to help your business achieve its full potential. Here is a list of our most in demand customisations. Most prominent businesses have implemented such customisations.

Operation Customisation:
In operational customisation, the customisations aim to add-on to the existing software operation process flow. Certain industries have additional steps when it comes to calculation of formula, manufacturing, auto capturing, auto updates, Examples of industries that will benefit from operational customisation are glass and window businesses, cargo and freight, and manufacturers. The operation customisations are usually based on mathematical calculations, creating, implementing new formulas, and automating certain processes to the system’s existing formula. An example of operational customisation would be configuring the formula to calculate the total sales amount of an invoice based on the volume (length x height x width) of metal sheets. Operational customisation can also be used to improve workers proactiveness by calculating commission rates based on collection period, volume of sales, or type of items sold. With the implementation of operational customisation, productivity and efficiency can be improved at minimum cost.
Preventive Customisation:
Preventive customisation on the other hand aims to control and preserve the current flow of the system. The types of customisations done are usually to add an additional level of protection to prevent users of the software from abusing the system. Additional alert and system notifications can be made to inform users if and when they have underpriced an invoice or picked the wrong products for delivery. This eliminates human error while simultaneously retaining satisfied clients.
