Welcome to Australian Access Software's Home Web Page, we are the
developers of the successful Pest Control Business Manager Computer Software or PCBM.
PCBM is a computer program designed from the ground up specifically for small
and medium sized Pest Control businesses wanting to have a more efficient,
automate and effective control over their office management and procedures. PCBM
can also be used for Pest Control mixed businesses that also perform regular
inspections or services, such as Carpet Cleaning, Property Inspections, Building
Services, Sub-Floor Ventilation and others.
PCBM is a valuable tool that will automate many of the time consuming tasks
involved in managing your business like:
Invoicing, sending statements, chasing payments, and preparing financial reports (invoice booklet
used in the field does not give you instant financial reports, cash flow
situation, electronic property history or the benefits to have the whole
client's service history and information at the touch of a button),
Scheduling jobs to be followed in the future (with PCBM you will say good-bye to
the old manual
card system),
Property History Record Keeping (again say good-bye to your old manual hand
written card system),
Managing customer information (forget about your complex, time consuming and
large MS Excel or Word files riddled with duplicated and out of date data. PCBM
uses the reliable and efficient MS Access Relational Database to organize your
data),
Reporting technician’s performance (no more pencil and paper to calculate your
technician's weekly, monthly, etc work performance),
Sending Reminders, Overdue and Marketing letters (No more typing and retyping
letters, with PCBM you tag the client and print the letter by either merging it
with MS Word for further editing or print it straight from PCBM.
Preparing Timber and Termite Inspection Reports (See more details below).
PCBM has all the power and versatility of the other computer programs in the
market but at a better value in terms of both time and money (NO MONTHLY FEE CHARGED). Whether you are a new user needing a first-time system
or an experienced user frustrated with a complicated and cumbersome competitor’s
package, you will be impressed with PCBM’s feature-packed but easy-to-use format
at a reasonable price.
