PLEASANTON, CA — August 16, 2006 — Avanquest Software, a leading developer
and publisher of business and consumer software for the global PC market today
announced the release of Checksoft Premier, a new feature-packed upgrade to its
best-of-breed. Checksoft financial management solution for the small business
and home office environments.
Checksoft Premier's powerful and easy-to-use financial management features enable
small businesses to achieve improved cash flow, experience significant cost savings
and maintain accurate bookkeeping through automation of daily accounting tasks,
innovative design and print capabilities and seamless integration with QuickBooks
accounting software.
Checksoft Premier’s easy-to-use Check Design Wizard lets small business users print
their own checks for savings of up to 80 percent over the cost of preprinted checks
ordered from their bank. Checksoft permits one-step check printing from QuickBooks
by uploading QuickBooks transactions to the Checksoft printer driver installed in
Windows, enabling millions of users to save time while cutting costs.
Using Checksoft Premier, small businesses can speed cash flow through automated
Check-Draft generation for easier payment collection and processing. They simply
obtain customer information, such as bank account and routing number, create an
authorized check, and deposit it directly to their small business account. No
signature required! To increase productivity, Checksoft Premier scales to meet the
needs of any growing small business thanks to network support for up to 10 users,
the most of all check writing programs in the market.
Checksoft Premier also eliminates the hassles of day-to-day accounting tasks. It
lets users stay on top of payroll and operational expenses and avoid late fees
through automated check-generation and update of account registers using the Bill
Scheduler Wizard. For past-due receivables, Checksoft Premier’s Interest and Late
Fee Wizard calculates and adds any interest and/or late fees to the amount due,
while providing office account managers with reminders of all outstanding payments.
