Every part of knkPublishing is integrated into accounting. Every working process in your company can be analyzed from the cost and return point of view. Every accounting- or controlling-relevant decision is available online and thus, your financial status report is available online at your fingertips.
If this is your philosophy as much as it is ours, any decision maker in your company, no matter of which hierarchical status, is supplied with any information he might require for his specific responsibility: budgets, profits and costs. You decide what your colleagues shall be able to access. There are no interfaces within the software. Therefore, you may “surf” throughout the entire data and create your own online analysis and adhoc-statistics. Navigation within the company's data is the basis of Microsoft Business Solution Navision.
Controlling (integration without interfaces)
Cost accounting and project accounting are included in our standard.
