Foundational Web Client Changes: 

Pronto Software has introduced a standardised list of icons to the web client. These improve usability, enhance the user experience and make the system more accessible to a wider range of users.

Users can also now define which information is displayed, hide columns in data grids more easily, pin relevant screen sections, and prioritise the sections that matter most.

Improvements in Financials: 

Pronto Xi 780 features numerous improvements across its Financial modules, including the ability to automatically import bank line statements into Pronto Xi by simply authorising the business accounts to be linked. For data retrieval, Pronto Software has partnered with Basiq, a secure and accredited Consumer Data Right platform for open banking.

Furthermore, several screens in the General Ledger view have been modified, including the journal process, standing journals and tax cycles, making these processes more user friendly.

In Accounts Payable, a number of functions have been improved to create a better user experience. These include invoice entry, payment processing, copy suppliers, cancel payments, FX revaluation and supplier hierarchies. 

In Accounts Receivable, the automatic mode has been completely remodelled and Cash Receipts have been transformed to improve receipt matching.

Cloud Computing Services: 

Pronto Cloud boasts the Pronto Software Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution, offering secure, anytime access to Pronto Xi and related applications.
