Does it link stock and accounts?
Does an invoice deduct stock and create the entry automatically, or do you key data in twice?
A buyer's guide to accounting software
How do you choose accounting software that fits your company?
There is no single answer to which accounting program is best, because what suits a factory differs from what suits a shop or a distribution company. This guide gives you clear criteria for measuring any program against your own company's needs.
Criteria for comparing accounting programs
Put these six questions to every program you evaluate, and ask to see the answer on screen.
Does it fit your sector?
A shop needs a cashier screen, a factory needs production orders, and a distributor needs sales reps and collection.
Support and training in Arabic
Who trains your staff, who answers you after purchase, and in which language?
E-invoicing readiness
Does it send the invoice to the tax gateway from inside the program?
Branches and permissions
Does it support several branches and warehouses, and control what each user sees and does?
Trial and data migration
Can you try it on your own data before paying, and how are your old balances moved?
Common mistakes when choosing easy accounting software
Ease of use is a fair requirement, but it is not measured by the look of the screen alone. These mistakes come up again and again.
Judging by the demo alone
A demo runs on tidy data. Try a real invoice of your own.
Leaving the accountant out
The person who will use the program every day should try it before the decision.
Buying for today's needs only
Ask what happens when you open a new branch or add a line of business.
Postponing the data question
Find out before buying how your opening balances go in and who helps you.
Where does Moon ERP stand on these criteria?
In Moon ERP a sales invoice deducts stock and creates its entry automatically. The system includes a cashier screen for shops, production orders for factories, and sales-rep commissions and collection reports. It supports multiple branches and warehouses with detailed permissions checked on every operation, and it sends posted invoices to the Egyptian or Saudi tax gateway.
A free trial company in your own name opens in about a minute with no payment card, and your balances are moved through the opening balances screen with help from the implementation team. Training and support are in Arabic from GT4 IT Solutions, in software since 2005.
