The Service Management system tracks

service calls from the moment the customer

calls until the job is complete. The call-taking

screen provides immediate access to customer

information, service history, and technician

activity. It allows for the printing of dispatch

tickets, paging technicians, updating mechanic

schedules, and posts labor to work orders and

payroll simultaneously.

Complete Service Management • Increase technician productivity and dispatch effi ciency. • Handle T&M, fl at rate, fi xed price, and “not to exceed” work. • Analyze productivity with standard and customized reporting capabilities. • Interface with the optional Digital Paging package. • Track the source of all calls to determine advertising and marketing eff ectiveness. • Reduce billing cycles and improve cashfl ow. • Defi ne priority and service call status with full-color scheduling screens. • “Drag and Drop” call scheduling and assignment.

Service Contract/Call History • Instant access to information such as service call dates, technician name, problem description, type of call, the billing cycle amount, invoice line item detai l , and description of work performed.

Quick Turn-In • Allows the technician to update the dispatcher on work performed and materials used to automatically relieve truck stock and update the work order.

Technician Scheduling • Increase technician productivity and dispatcher effi ciency with multiple scheduling boards to assist the dispatcher in responding to emergency calls while facilitating the rescheduling of others. • Schedule maintenance service calls on contracts in advance so customers are serviced on time.

Commissions • Calculate technician commissions (or bonuses) based on user-defi ned percentage rates for indvidual billing types. • Labor commissions can be calculated for the primary technician as well as a second man.

Construction Job Cost tracks estimates and actual

expenses for construction jobs. This fl exible system

is great for both large and small jobs. Job costs can

be broken down into groups, and further divided into

cost codes. The comprehensive reporting draws from

other accounting modules to present estimates from

job cost, committed costs from purchase orders, and

actual costs from payroll, accounts payable

and inventory.

Jobs can be posted to work-in-process accounts,

and expensed to the income statements using the

percent completion method to transfer costs.

Contract and change orders can be posted to a job

at any time. An unlimited number of cost groups

can be established with an unlimited number of

cost codes associated with these groups. The inquiry

and reporting programs will show actual costs as

compared to the estimates.

Contract billing is available with Job Cost. It allows

for retention billing, percent completion billing

and fl exible invoice formats such as the popular

AIA format.

IntegrationJob Cost is integrated with Ascente service and Traverse accounting. This allows the operator to perform data entry in one place, and the other modules can view the information. The following modules are integrated with Job Cost: • TRAVERSE Payroll • TRAVERSE Accounts Payable • TRAVERSE Purchase Order • TRAVERSE Accounts Receivable • TRAVERSE Inventory Control • TRAVERSE General Ledger • Ascente Service

ReportingAll reports have been implemented using the popular Crystal Reports software. These reports can be easily modifi ed using Crystal Reports without requiring any changes to the Ascente software. • Job Age Analysis • Job Backlog Report • Job Cost Report • Job Cost Detail Report • Work In Progress Report • Job Status Report • Contracts In Progress Report • Job Payment History

Features • Integrates directly with the accounting applications without requiring double entry. • Captures committed costs in purchasing so cost overruns can be spotted the minute a purchase order is charged to a job. • Unlimited cost groups and cost codes. • Easy and comprehensive inquiry programs to quickly scan a job in summary or detail form.• Assign diff erent G/L distributions to each job, phase, or cost code.• Revenue can be distributed to diff erent G/L numbers. • Job Cost reports can be printed by phase, or consolidated by master job. • Job close-outs can be performed on a percent completion method or completed contracts basis. • Prevailing wage capability.

The Maintenance Management system

provides the user with a comprehensive

approach to managing planned maintenance

activities and/or detailed tasking, ensuring

that no detail is overlooked. Incorporating

the ease of “windows”, the system can

accomodate the needs of both residential

and commercial companies.

The Contract Management module easily

schedules returning maintenance calls to be

done by the day, week, month or year, or by

jobsite and allows you to maintain complete

service information.

Analyzing service agreements for profi tability

can be done by contract to date, fi scal year

to date and for preventative maintenance,

emergency maintenance and extras.

Maintenance tasking creates and prints service

agreements detailing the components and

tasks based on user defi ned schedules and

can be diff erentiated by technician skill level.

• Billing and service frequency • Maintenance budget • Starting and expiring dates

The Detailed Tasking module allows you to

create a detailed list of activities for technicians

servicing maintenance contract customers.

The Detailed Tasking module automatically

creates and prints service agreements detailing

the components and tasks based on user defi ned

schedules. Detailed Tasking can also:

• Log calls by components

• List tasks to be performed and the materials required • Technician skill level required to perform a particular task • Starting and expiring dates

QUICK PURCHASE ORDER

The Quick Purchase Order system increases

effi ciency and accuracy by enabling

technicians to call-in purchase orders from the

fi eld. The system automatically posts all items

to the corresponding work order and is fully

integrated with the Inventory and Accounts

Payable systems.

• Access the Quick Purchase Order procedure directly from the call-taking screen or the Purchase Order system. • Ensure that items/materials purchased in the fi eld are posted directly to customers work order.

FLAT RATE BOOK INTERFACE

The Flat Rate Book Interface system provides

an interface to industry standard fl at rate books

such as Maio, Collier, and Callahan Roach in

order to set up and maintain your inventory.

The system provides you with customized price

updates and current bill of material information

insuring that the data stored in your inventory fi le

is always up to date.

• Save time and increase effi ciency by eliminating time-consuming tasks such as identifying inventory items, writing descriptions, obtaining current pricing, and updating all of the above information in the system. • Produce critical information on-screen with the press of a key. • Update pricing and costing information automatically to the Inventory Control system.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

Page 11: compuclientportal.osas.com/downloads/traverse-ascente-booklet.pdf · compu source History Founded in 1971, Compusource has evolved into a leading developer and marketer of application

The Digital Paging Interface system transmits

service calls entered through the Ascente

Service Management system directly to the

technician’s digital pager or cellular device

device with the press of a button. This saves

a tremendous amount of time that would

normally be spent on the phone, radio or

typing a message into a paging terminal.

• Make it easy for technicians to receive their calls without having to contact the dispatcher each time. • Print a report of all of the paging activity to help audit the monthly paging bill with the Page Log report or the Page Log purge.

• Allow diff erent paging numbers to be used for diff erent technicians. A great feature for companies with multiple locations. • If the message is longer than the paging company allows, the message automaticaly splits into two or more consecutive pages. The system supports TAP dial up protocol, SNPP internet Protocol , and various methods of e-mail delivery. • Page non-technicians with a message. This allows the owners, managers and other staff to be set up in the paging person fi le for messaging access. The system allows the user to create groups and send a message to an entire group at one time.

DIGITAL PAGING

Page 12: compuclientportal.osas.com/downloads/traverse-ascente-booklet.pdf · compu source History Founded in 1971, Compusource has evolved into a leading developer and marketer of application

Ascente teamed with Fleet Director provides a

complete picture, detailing who follows and

who disobeys company rules on vehicle speed,

approved work zones, prohibited geographic

areas and approved time for vehicle operation.

Benefi ts • Ability to dispatch closest truck to the job • Driving directions • Unauthorized use and side jobs are immediately visible and easily prevented

Today, businesses that rely on the proven technology

and performance of Compusource’s Ascente software

teamed with Teletrac’s Fleet Director are lowering

operating costs, providing their customers with

better service, and reaping the benefi ts when it

comes to profi tability.

With real-time location and communications: • Technicians reach their destinations more quickly and safely. • Management is better able to measure technician performance and effi ciency. • Customer questions are easily resolved and dispatch is able to put drivers at customers’ doors in record time. • Unauthorized vehicle use is identifi ed as it is happening.

When companies know exactly where their drivers are

at any given moment they have the ability to respond

immediately to everything from customer calls to

vehicle emergencies and breakdowns.

GPS Interface

When a service call is scheduled for today it is transmitted

to the mapping software and located on the map and

plotted as a distinctive landmark that identifi es it as a open

scheduled call. On the rare occasion that a call location

cannot be found the dispatcher is notifi ed and has the

opportunity to correct the error that has caused the call

not to be mapped.

When a call is dispatched using Ascente this information

is sent to the mapping software and the landmark is

changed so that it is easy to see which calls are awaiting

for the technician to arrive. The vehicles that have been

dispatched are linked with the assigned calls and when

the technician gets a certain distance from the service

location the mapping software again changes the

landmark to indicate that the technician has arrived

and this information is transmitted back to Ascente and

updates the status of the call to Arrived. This eliminates the

challenging problem of getting technicians to accurately

report their arrival status on service calls. When the call is

completed it is automatically removed from the map.

These functions allow the user to lower fuel costs by

sending the closest available technician and by routing

the technicians in the most fuel effi cient manner.

If the user has installed the Teletrac Message Display

Terminals in their vehicles they can be used to receive

all information via the Wireless Dispatch module available

in Ascente.

The Teletrac GPS Interface works in conjunction with

TELETRAC’S INC. FleetDirector eclient vehicle locating

and mapping software by adding a direct interface

over the internet between Ascente and the FleetDi-

rector software.

MOBILE COMPUTING

A profi tability breakthrough for HVAC & Plumbing contractors.

Effi ciency - it’s one of the keys to running a profi table business.

And now, with Ascente back offi ce from Compusource tied to the

Microsoft .NET mobile technology, effi ciency has never been easier

to attain.

Overview:So, how does it work? Service Calls are processed in Ascente’s Call

Taking screen at the back offi ce and the call is automatically placed

on the Dispatch Board. From there it is wirelessly dispatched to the

technician’s Mobile computer Truck Board PC. Each call sent in-

cludes equipment detail, service history, customer details, purchase

order information and much more.

Ascente’s Ultra Mobile Technician software features both time

and material and fl at rate, text messaging and complete jobsite/

customer/equipment and history fi les and much more. We also

have a complete Mobile computer Product Line that, when added

to the PC, will provide a true mobile fi eld service solution and give

each technician the ability to create, print (and/or e-mail) invoices

to your customers at the time of the call. Signature capture and

credit card acceptance is also available.

Ascente’s Mobile Technician software would not be complete

without a hardware system to match the power of our fi eld service

software. We give the users a choice of any equipment that uses

Microsoft’s powerful XP Tablet operating system. These Pen Based

systems utilize the latest in Microsoft .NET technology and are tied

into the Internet using the latest high speed wireless technology

from industry leaders Cingular and Verizon.

DIGITAL DASHBOARDIncluded with System Manager, Digital Dashboard gives you an executive snapshot of key business indicators. You can personalize Digital Dashboard using over 35 pre-defi ned business metrics. Each user can choose which objects to view and whether to show data graphically, in text mode, or both. User settings also include the ability to set an automatic refresh interval to ensure timely, accurate information. Dashboard objects can show individual company or consolidated data in multi-company environments.

INFO-ALERTInfo-Alert is a powerful tool that monitors your business data and provides automated alerts when various business conditions are met. Info-Alert serves as a “virtual employee” that attaches to your TRAVERSE data and reviews it at scheduled intervals, reporting the information to the appropriate people.

With Info-Alert, you defi ne a specifi c set of parameters. When conditions occur that meet those parameters, an alert is sent—via email or report—to those individuals assigned to receive the notifi cation (employees, customers, vendors, etc.). There are many predefi ned alerts, including those in categories such as Accounts Receivable, Order Entry, Inventory and Purchasing. For each pre-defi ned alert, you can establish a set of criteria; for example, “Only review customers assigned to a specifi c sales rep.”

ENHANCED PAYROLL TAX REPORTINGBoost your productivity gain and eliminate hours of typing with TRAVERSE Enhanced Payroll Tax Reporting. Using this highly interactive reporting tool and your TRAVERSE payroll data, you’ll get over 300 certifi ed state and federal reports, which can be printed on plain paper or fi led electronically through a new optional service called eFile.

This example shows the true power of the dashboard to consolidate disparate information from many applications into a concise snapshot for quick analysis. Information on this dashboard comes from CRM (opportunity projections), AR (aging, balance, and cash fl ow), AP (balance, cash fl ow), GL (cash balance), IN (current value) and PA (time tickets).
