New and Upcoming!
What's new in Plod?
- $ x Rig/Shift: Available as soon as Plods have been entered, this screen and report allows you to quickly examine your revenue for each Shift at each Rig. Presented as a table where you can compare Rigs for nominated dates, or individual Rigs over a range of dates. Click on a cell to see Plod detail for individual Shifts.
- Over-ride Rates: Allows you to override an employee’s normal pay rates for selected shifts. Handy for those occasions where an Assistant works as a Driller for a shift.
- Off-shore operations: When you have contracts running overseas Plod can now:
- Handle GST with any description at any rate (eg: VAT at 14%), or ignore it when required – for all or nominated Jobs.
- Handle foreign Flat and Slab income tax regimes in various currencies.
- Handle “Expat Pays” where employment contracts are on “company pays tax” terms – for all or nominated employees.
- QuickBooks: Plod will now export Sales and Pay Journals in both MYOB and Quickbooks import formats.
- Driller Analysis: This report analyses your drillers in terms of metres (by drilling type) and $value. You can select by Job, Rig, Employee, Classification, Period(s), etc. Report also shows Top Ten and Bottom Ten by $value.
Plod in the Cloud: Traditionally our Plod customers run Plod with the system and database installed on their own PCs, Servers and LAN. Plod in the Cloud means our customers may choose instead to have the system and database installed on a world-class, professional Datacentre accessible from anywhere. This relieves the user of issues like backup, security and redundancy and having to keep their computer hardware constantly up to date. This is now in the advanced testing stage with results better than expected. We have been able to do this so exactly the same program works on all platforms.
- Invoice on demand: Changes the approach of Period-based invoicing making it easier to
- Produce invoices on demand, regardless of where we sit in the invoicing cycle
- Re-issue an amended invoice from some time ago with correct handling of General Ledger entries.
What's Coming:
We are presently working on the following extensions:
Onsite Plod entry: The intention is to optionally allow entry of Plods at the worksite with the objectives of:
- Remove opportunity for customer to delay payment
- Speed up data entry process
- Meet varying customer requests for electronic or printed Plod detail
