Sage Timberline Office Product Details

Features:

ACCOUNTING

Accounts Payable

• Accounts Payable puts you in charge of the entire payables process - from the minute invoices come in your door, through the approval process, payment selection, and check printing.
• Invoice entry is simple and efficient with a spreadsheet entry grid that can be navigated by keyboard or mouse. Payment selection is even easier with a process that can select invoices to pay by any criteria you define. And generating vendor checks is a snap with advanced check-writing capabilities like two-party checks and customizable checks and stubs.

Accounts Receivable

• Accounts Receivable gives you tools to stay in touch with clients and on top of receivables to proactively manage your cash position.
• Solid accounting capabilities make it simple to process cash receipts accurately and quickly. Automatically post payments to the oldest outstanding invoice or manually post individual invoices or items. Enter unapplied customer payments and miscellaneous job cost receipts all in one session. And easily issue debit and credit adjustments as needed.
• Using integrated access tools, your receivables information is always immediately available. Interactive inquiries let you view stored information in seconds for quick lookups and over-the-phone answers. And customizable reports let you calculate and print information in any format you choose for in-depth receivables analysis.

Billing

• Use Billing to create free-form customer invoices at any time. Or take advantage of Sage Timberline Office integration to automatically produce time-and-material, cost plus, lump sum, progress billing, and unit-priced invoices based on your contracts.

Cash Management

• Cash Management is an easy-to-use tool that lets you view and track cash transactions generated in Sage Timberline Office Accounts Payable, Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Job Cost and Property Management applications and reconcile them with your company's bank statements and general ledger.
• What's more, Cash Management also simultaneously tracks your register and bank balances, giving you a simple way to stay on top of your cash flow and ensure that accounts are funded at optimum levels.

Contracts

• Provided with Accounts Receivable, Contracts manages the details of your customer agreements in one convenient location to drive billings, coordinate receivables processing, and enhance change order management.

Equipment Cost

• Sage Timberline Office's fully integrated Equipment Cost module manages the details of equipment cost, revenue and usage to help you maximize your return on investment.

Financial Statement Designer

• Financial Statement Designer allows you to quickly and efficiently modify predefined financial statements or create your own custom statements from scratch. The Financial Statement Designer makes it easy to define the contents of each column, perform calculations on financial data, and print statements for current and prior periods.

General Ledger

• Sage Timberline Office General Ledger is a storehouse for financial activity and history. Accounting information from other Sage Timberline Office applications flows seamlessly to General Ledger where it's stored in an account format that you customize to fit your business. There, the information is easily retrieved and reported using integrated information access tools.
• Tight integration ensures that subsidiary ledgers stay in balance with the general ledger, that clear audit trails lead to original activity, and that account reconciliation is fast and efficient.
• General Ledger's flexible accounting format allows you to maintain multiple divisions, regions or companies within the same database. And customizable reports and financial statements let you present the numbers in virtually any format required by your company or business partners.
• General Ledger also helps assure accuracy. Error correction capabilities let you make adjustments without compromising accounting integrity. Flexible entry lets you post to the correct general ledger period, whether it's current, prior, or future. And broad, secure inquiry access allows designated employees inside and outside of the accounting department to view the numbers without tampering with them.

Job Cost

• Job Cost gives you complete control over commitment and change order management. Enter subcontracts and purchase orders directly into Job Cost, or import them from other programs, then track them against invoices for total control of committed costs. And manage every step of the change order process - from pending through approval - to ensure change order profitability.
• Using integrated information access tools, your project information is always immediately available. Interactive inquiries let employees view information - such as potential cost overruns, percent complete, and production units in place - onscreen in seconds. And customizable reports let you calculate and print information in any format you choose for in-depth project analysis.

Payroll

• Payroll processes even the most complex construction payrolls automatically. And information generated in Payroll flows throughout your accounting for cost analysis.

Remote Time Entry

• Remote Time Entry is an efficiency tool designed to enhance payroll productivity and labor cost management. Using Remote Time entry, labor information can be entered directly at the job site then transferred electronically to the home office for efficient posting to Payroll.

ESTIMATING

CAD Integrator

• Sage Timberline Office CAD Integrator speeds the estimating process by utilizing a standardized language to define CAD objects and their associated objects.
• Timberline draws on the common information format of Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs), used to standardize CAD objects such as doors, windows, walls or HVAC ductwork. Because the objects are universal, an IFC door is always recognized as a door, regardless of which CAD software you're using.

Cut & Fill

• In minutes, Cut & Fill determines quantities at an accuracy level difficult to match using manual takeoff methods. And a more accurate earthwork estimate means less money wasted on costly mistakes.
• This is the application to quickly calculate cut, fill and strip quantities by simply digitizing the boundary of work, contours, layers, and elevations for the existing and proposed surfaces. The software then determines the cut and fill quantities and graphically displays the results.

Database Editor

• Sage Timberline Office Database Editor provides a set of Windows®-based tools for streamlined setup and easy maintenance of the estimating databases you use with Sage Timberline Office estimating software. Quickly add records and update fields in multiple records all at once. Global changes are immediately visible in a spreadsheet-style view.
• Database Editor ensures referential integrity of records throughout your database. Changing a phase description, for example, will carry through to the same description referenced in items, assemblies, and in models. You can also use several reporting tools to check your database for missing elements, such as phases or formulas referenced by other database elements. Offering extensive and dynamic help, Database Editor can be used by both novice and experienced Sage Timberline Office estimating users.

Digitizer

• Digitizer lets you quickly and accurately generate linear, area and counted takeoff in seconds. It's the application to automate your entire digitizing process and reduce all your manual spreadsheet and paper calculations.
• Much of the timesaving benefits of Digitizer reside in its estimator-friendly dimension list. Rather than having to jot down digitized dimensions on a separate piece of paper or run manual calculations with an outside spreadsheet program, you can use Sage Timberline Office to automatically set up a customized dimension list. The dimension list stores all your regularly used dimensions that you can call on to complete an existing estimate or save for use with future estimates on similar jobs. You build your dimension list only once, not every time you start a new estimate. Sage Timberline Office Estimating lets you build dimension lists to your exact specifications. Start from scratch by digitizing calculations to create a new dimension list. Or, import an existing dimension list from a previous estimate. Once imported, you can tailor your dimension list by making all the edits and additions you want. Then, when you're ready, switch over to the estimate spreadsheet and automatically fill quantity cells based on the calculations stored in your dimension list.

ePlan Takeoff

• Connecting Sage Timberline Office estimating software with On Center's On-Screen TakeoffT application, ePlan Takeoff lets you generate counts and quantity takeoffs directly from electronic drawings for instant use in your estimates. ePlan Takeoff gives you the ability to quickly transfer project dimensions including lengths, areas, and volumes. It streamlines takeoff, provides a takeoff audit trail, and lets you create accurate estimates without ever needing to pore over bulky blueprints.

Estimating

• Whatever your estimating demands, Sage Timberline Office provides complete software that works the way you want it to. For a fast, accurate estimating system that's easy to use, choose between Estimating Standard and Estimating Extended.
• Estimating Standard combines key estimating efficiencies with all the ease and intuitive point-and-click, drag-and-drop technology available. The software also serves as the foundation of our more advanced Estimating Extended.
• Estimating Extended offers you our most comprehensive package of advanced estimating tools. The software starts with the power of Estimating Standard and adds even greater takeoff, analysis and productivity capabilities.

Estimating Databases

• Aside from the Sage Timberline Office core Estimating application, which includes sample databases with standard items and customizable estimating factors, you can also add industry-specific estimating databases.
• Sage Timberline Office estimating databases contain thousands of items and many assemblies you can use right away - with the added capability of incorporating your company's estimating procedures and policies as they relate to unique items, formulas, assemblies, and productivity and conversion factors.

Estimating Explorer

• Our Estimating Explorer software gives you the tools to organize, manage and analyze hundreds of estimates with ease. No more tracking down bids through bid journals or estimate archive logs. Instead, you can sort Explorer's comprehensive master list of estimates by name, status, estimator or other criteria to find any estimate within seconds.
• You can even manage your bid schedules using the software's built-in calendar to log important events, such as bid dates, pre-bid meetings, and site inspections.
• Estimating Explorer not only organizes your estimates, but gives you the tools to stand back and analyze your work. Need to know what your estimating volume is in certain markets? Or how your unit costs vary by project type? Use Estimating Explorer's management reports and graphs to quickly find the answers. Or link estimate information directly to Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access for further analysis.

Estimating Report Manager

• Estimating Report Manager simplifies the task of reporting on estimates that you produce with your Timberline estimating software. For extensive analysis and reporting, you can easily export estimate data into a reportable file to use with Crystal Reports or Microsoft Access. Select any estimate for reporting, combine estimate items, round item quantities, allocate add-ons, and more. The software provides sample Crystal Report designs, including proposal templates and cross-tab reports, for professional-looking presentations of estimate information. It's a simple way to organize and manage all estimating reports in one central location.

Estimating TRA-SER® Integrator

• This software automates item pricing, giving you the ability to import and update your Timberline database with item pricing from the i2 Technologies solution.
• With Estimating TRA-SER® Integrator, you have direct access to i2 TRA-SER Pro software - pricing service software for electrical, plumbing and HVACR components. You choose the i2 databases you want to use, which prices to import, and whether to adjust pricing by a multiplier or import it "as is". Once you've set up the integration, maintaining item pricing is as simple as a few mouse clicks.

Estimating Viewer

• Estimating Viewer makes it possible for anyone connected to your network to view and print Sage Timberline Office estimates. In addition, users have access to all the advanced sorting and reporting capabilities previously only available to estimators using Sage Timberline Office estimating software. So, at any time, someone can quickly see where costs and quantities have varied between two similar projects. Or zero in on where unit costs have changed between conceptual, interim, and final estimates.
• With Estimating Viewer, you have a safe way to share your estimate information, without having to be concerned with edits that could compromise your takeoff, database, or spreadsheets. Your data always remains intact, no matter how many people are reviewing it.
• Best of all, being able to grant instant, electronic access means you no longer need to spend valuable time circulating estimates from one person to the next.

Mobile Estimating

• Mobile Estimating offers a practical way to take estimating technology to the field. Designed for hand-held devices such as Palm Computing organizers, this application enables estimators to perform detailed takeoffs remotely and then transfer them into a Sage Timberline Office estimate for a detailed bid or change order.
• This is the tool to give you access to the same Sage Timberline Office estimating data you use back in the office. Cover page information, item numbers and descriptions, assembly numbers and descriptions, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) codes, a wide range of other variables can all be stored on a hand-held device. From wherever you need to be, you can gather all the project details necessary for an accurate, complete bid.

Model Estimating

• Model Estimating lets you create detailed conceptual estimates by answering a series of basic questions about a project. You simply respond to an on-screen survey and let Model Estimating tap into the Timberline's first-of-a-kind Construction Knowledgebase to produce fast, precise estimates.
• Backed by exhaustive detail, everything you need to support your bid, concept, or estimate is there in black and white - costs, quantities, crews, hours, and waste factors.

Scheduling Integrator

• Project success rides on your team's ability to plan ahead. So the more time you have to troubleshoot a job, the better. With Scheduling Integrator, you have the tools to start the ball rolling long before construction begins.
• Quick, realistic project schedules are an estimate away when using the Integrator to connect Timberline's Estimating to industry-standard scheduling software such as Primavera or Microsoft Project for Windows.
• Why build a schedule from scratch? Scheduling Integrator gives you instant access to labor and equipment details, material items, productivity factors, and estimator notes. The task plan for building a schedule is practically done for you. Simply open the project file in your scheduling software and you're well on your way. A great tool to jump-start and simplify the scheduling process, and give your team more time to plan for success.

PROCUREMENT

• Remote warehouse personnel can perform these tasks and upload the data into your system when it is convenient. By avoiding paper documentation and eliminating any re-keying of inventory items, on-the-spot control is achieved assuring both accuracy and ready access to the status of inventory.

Mobile Purchasing

• An integrated application designed for Palm OS handheld devices, the Sage Timberline Office Mobile Purchasing application allows you to start the purchasing process as soon as you recognize the need. It provides a simple and accurate way for field personnel to enter a purchase order, a blanket order, or subcontract order directly from a remote location.
• Mobile Purchasing eliminates relaying a purchase order by phone and the possibility of mis-entering order information into your system. Project managers and superintendents save time by entering orders on the spot and submitting them without delay to your purchase order system.

Procurement TRA-SER® Integrator

• Procurement TRA-SER® Integrator provides a link from i2 TRA-SER Pro software to Sage Timberline Office Inventory and Purchasing applications.
