Examples of our successful custom development:

1. A child services agency had previously implemented and customized a job costing application; they wanted to capture all of the costs and reimbursements it took to provide care to the children in their programs. After a great deal of effort and money, they realized they needed a custom solution. CriticalEdge Group determined that relationships needed to be established between the children, their guardians, their services and goods providers, and the programs. All accounts payable invoices that related to the children needed to be properly recorded, and attached to these relationships. After the initial project phase was completed, they were able to present comprehensive child cost reports to the board of directors for the first time. Phase two completed the cycle with cash receipts tracking.
   
   
2. Another customer who required application development is a commodities broker in the LP Gas industry. Since one tanker could involve multiple customers and vendors, the traditional project accounting systems simply did not fit. Our application included all of the vendors, customers, and project data, producing complete project profitability reports. One single vendor or customer invoice entry captured all of the data necessary to provide management and financial reporting. Reports that took days to compile are now available at the push of a button.
   
3. A distribution customer required highly specialized bar code labels for shipping (PDF). The labels had to include customer-specific invoice information, including PO numbers, item numbers, and shipment quantities. We wrote an interface that reads the Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) sales order processing data, allows the user to edit shipment quantities, and prints to their bar code label printer.
