Funeral Directors' Software by Intersoft

fdPOWER is designed to assist the Funeral Director in the key areas of their business. It can reflect the individual nature and workflow of the Funeral Director's business and assist in the productivity, presentation and business analysis processes, all the while embracing the latest technology advancements. fdPOWER assists the Funeral Director to better manage and operate their business.

Features

Arrangement Recording
In fdPOWER, Arrangement Types and screen layouts have been defined allowing the recording of relevant information, building up a complete file on the Arrangement - from notification of death through to funeral, burial or cremation information, to the charges for the invoice, presented in a manner which is easy to follow and enquire on.

If the standard information requires changing, various fdPOWER Editor Add-On's can be purchased enabling the screens, data tables, libraries, and Arrangement Types to be customised to meet individual Funeral Home requirements.

Arrangement Forms, Letters and Documentation
fdPOWER reduces the tedious form preparation that is associated with Arrangements. The system allows for the generation and re-generation of Statutory Forms at 'the touch of a button', and can also be used to create customised forms, letters and documentation specific to each Funeral Director's needs.

Invoicing
While working with an Arrangement, charges can be entered from a standard Charges Library, ready for invoicing. These charges can include stock items, professional services fees and disbursements. When printing the invoice, using the powerful formatting features of MS Word, fdPOWER can produce an invoice reflecting each Funeral Director's unique style and requirements.

Accounting System Integration
fdPOWER can integrate to Intersoft Accounting software and selected third party accounting systems. This reduces time spent re-keying data and data entry errors.

EDI Interface
The EDI Interface facility allows a file to be created for transmission to the NSW Registry for "Death Registration" and "Request for Death Certificate" purposes. This time saving facility is currently only offered in NSW. As other Registries offer these services, fdPOWER will be expanded to incorporate them.

"fdPOWER means Presentation"

fdPOWER can assist you promote your unique professional image.

Microsoft Word Integration
fdPOWER uses the formatting power of MS Word for many of its forms, documentation and Invoices. A range of forms and documents can be created which have a consistent professional image (all using the information recorded in the system), such as Burial Applications, Crematorium Applications, Ministerial Records, Day Sheets, Quotations, and many more.

Definable Page Layouts
Arrangement information is entered into a series of "Pages". Each screen or "Page" can be altered with the Page Editor Add-On to more closely reflect the information required. Each "Page" can include drop-down lists of pre-selected items, tickboxes for choices, text and notes fields, 'tool tips', and even a photo of the Deceased!

"fdPOWER means Analysis"

fdPOWER is a powerful management tool and can assist with analysing business trends as well as day-to-day analysis and measurements.

Standard Comprehensive Reporting
A range of standard reports are included in the system. These include Arrangement Reports, Invoice Reports, EDI Status and List Reports.

Open Integration
fdPOWER stores information using Microsoft's Jet Database. This is the same database "engine" behind MS Access and means you can use third party tools to create your own customised reports and charts for analysis purposes, as well as MS Access, MS Excel and MS Word.

"fdPOWER means Value"

Investing in fdPOWER is a sound business decision.

Modular Design
fdPOWER is completely modular in design allowing you to initially purchase only the features (Add-On's) and arrangement capacity (Arrangement Credits) needed at that time. As your business needs change, further Add-On's can be purchased. Arrangement Credits balance the cost of the system to the number of funerals you carry out, making fdPOWER affordable at all levels.
