TPH Global

Eclipse and EzyPO adapt to suit you

With our in-depth understanding of what makes Production Accountants happy or annoyed when using accounting software, we created Eclipse. As we strive to improve our program, TPH Global is continually improving Eclipse to make your daily duties quicker, easier and more accurate than ever before.

Eclipse

Key features:
  • Flexible System & User Setup

  • Flexible System & User Setup

    Eclipse is designed to let you work the way you want to. Your input processes can be sped up by making simple refinements in the System Options that allow for a production specific setup.

    Individual User Options let you apply specific default settings to make your life easier. It can be as simple as how you view or enter the data, and it adds up to extra hours in your pocket at the end of the week.

    Through using your own personal tagging system setup with the budget at the beginning, the reports you generate are customised and flexible enough to meet the requirements of even the most fastidious production executives. At the end of the day, this makes your life easier when you can provide fast and accurate reports on time and as close to accurate in real-time as possible.

  • Powerful Security

  • Powerful Security

    Eclipse’s solid security system lets you customise access to individual users or groups. You can set controls for different levels of access, printing capabilities, reporting, inputting data, and posting across all modules.

    Because Eclipse fully understands the hierarchy within your organisation, you can create as many user groups as you see fit to ensure everyone can access what they need, and not other aspects of the program.

  • Unrivalled Excel Support

  • Unrivalled Excel Support

    Unparalleled Excel connectivity. When Eclipse sends data to Excel it opens the spreadsheet, then formats and displays the data automatically. It’s quick and easy to do – open the browser, highlight the data you want to send, and click the Excel button. It works the other way round too, allowing forms to be copied in Excel then pasted into Eclipse.

  • Browse, Search & Query Data

  • Browse, Search & Query Data

    All entry and inquiry screens display data in a browser window. Columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order, swapped, highlighted, hidden, or tagged. You can also easily locate data by clicking on the relevant column and typing the value in the search box to find all entries that match your criteria. 

    If you’re feeling extra techy, you can even use the Query Builder to filter data within the browser. The choice is yours.

  • Multiple Open Windows

  • Multiple Open Windows

    Forget the days of having to open and close windows all the time. With Eclipse you can browse multiple windows simultaneously without closing the module you’re working in.

  • Set Up As You Work

  • Set Up As You Work

    If we had a dollar for every time a software platform wanted you to close what you were doing so you could set up a vendor or chart of account then go back to where you left off, we would have room and board on the ISS. 

    Fortunately, we had the power to change this. If a vendor or a chart of account doesn’t exist during data entry, simply create it on the spot. Simple!

  • VAT, GST & FBT Support

  • Comprehensive VAT, GST & FBT Support

    By using unlimited tax types to track your recoverable VAT or GST you can operate across numerous territories and currencies with ease. 

    During data entry a separate tax field triggers the inclusion of a distribution line, as well as calculating the predetermined tax rate. The Balance Tax Button ensures correct flagging of taxable and non-taxable items.

  • Archive to PDF

  • Archive to PDF

    Quickly find and review images of original paperwork without digging out the files. Archive all documentation and attach it to the corresponding entry in the ledgers.

Instead of waiting the full 10 minutes for your session to end, you may choose to sign out manually.

To sign out manually:

  1. In the GoGlobal/AppController windows select File from the top menu.
  2. Select Sign Out.

Note: This will end your session so make sure you’ve saved all your work first.
