New Budgeting Tool for Sage Master Builder Users!

I’m really excited about a new product on the market for use by Sage Master Builder users – zMgtToolkit by Zoom Integrated Products.

One of the more tedious tasks that SMB users face is creating operating budgets and loading them into the General Ledger Account records. The problem is compounded when departments are used as there is no automated process for entry of the department operating budgets into the department sub-account records or roll up of the departments budgets into the consolidated account.

zMgtToolkit solves this problem with a powerful and information packed budget creation and posting tool. At $295 for the first user license (and $59 for each additional user), the program is a bargain and will pay for itself in saved time the first year that you use it for your budgets!

The program is named a toolkit because Zoom is developing a series of modules that will perform a number of other useful tasks, including
  • Budget Forecasting
  • Budget Management
  • Budget Historical Review
  • Break-Even Analysis
  • Cash Flow
  • Charts and Graphs
  • Pivot Grid
  • Reports
  • Department Allocation
  • Unapplied Direct Cost Allocation
  • Overhead to Direct Cost Allocation
  • Archive Import
  • Cost Code Conversion
  • Parts Update
  • Assembly Quick Replace
  • MB Find and Replace
  • Recalc Assembly Totals
  • Recall Jobs

When these modules are developed and available, there may be nominal additional license fees.

  1. I have recently learned that the cost of zMgtToolkit has gone up significantly - understandable considering it was underpriced when it came out in 2008. See my later posting for a link to the developer's site and more information about this wonderful tool.
