Success Story
at-a-Glance: Rappahannock Goodwill Industries Grows with
ABS
In today's society,
work is an essential element of who we are. To have a
job, do it well and reap the benefits of that effort is
one of the most important ways a person can live their
life with dignity. -- Rappahannock Goodwill
Industries
Rappahannock Goodwill Industries has a mission to help
people with disabilities obtain jobs. The
Fredericksburg, VA, organization provides vocational
training, counseling, and other employment services to
individuals who face mental, physical, or emotional
barriers to employment. In addition to providing
employment services to thousands of people, Rappahannock
Goodwill directly employs more than 300 people with
disabilities in its retail stores, commercial laundry
service, and custodial operation.
Rappahannock Goodwill’s combination of full-time,
hourly, and piecework employees adds complexity to
payroll and personnel tracking. To help meet the IT
challenge, they rely on Applied Business Services (ABS),
a software solutions firm dedicated to helping
non-profit organizations.
“For Rappahannock Goodwill, the TRAVERSE®
solutions from Open Systems provide a lot of
flexibility,” says Maureen Williams, president of ABS.
“With its open source code, we are able to develop
customized solutions quickly and affordably to
accommodate unique needs.”
In addition to the
TRAVERSE Accounting System, Rappahannock Goodwill uses
three integrated modules designed and developed by ABS:
the Individual Tracking System™ (ITS™), the Laundry
Production Tracking System™ (LTS™), and the Personnel
Tracking System™ (PTS™).
TRAVERSE Not-For-Profit (NFP)
provides organizations with a cost-effective solution and a robust set of
features frequently requested by not-for-profit organizations. TRAVERSE NFP
gives you total integration to the General Ledger, Accounts Payable and
Payroll modules. As with all TRAVERSE applications, source code is included.
Many NFP's choose TRAVERSE because of its capability to seamlessly export any report with the click of just one button to Microsoft Office products such as Word, Excel, and Outlook. With TRAVERSE NFP, you can easily email your budge or financial statements to the board. Since TRAVERSE General Ledger has a flexible chart of accounts that handles up to seven segment categories and 30-character alpha-numeric numbers, you can create unlimited funds, programs, grants,
activities, departments and divisions all in one place. The NFP General Ledger module also has a feature to tag an account as active or inactive so that your chart of accounts does not show inactive accounts, grants, or activities.
NFP organizations track restricted, temporarily restricted and unrestricted funds and also need to provide reports on the activity of these funds. TRAVERSE NFP tracks these funding
activities and automatically creates due to/from entries as part of the process. Reports are easily formatted with the powerful built-in report writer. The cross-fiscal year reporting for financial reports and grants--conveniently located in the general ledger--is another feature that will save you valuable time.
ITS™, Individual
Tracking System™, is developed in SQL Server,
Microsoft Access, and VBA for NISH and JWOD
reporting. ITS™ has a direct interface to
TRAVERSE Accounting software or can be purchased
as a stand-alone module. This module is designed
to help Community Rehabilitation Providers
manage their reporting needs and Piece Rate
Payroll calculations.
LTS™, Laundry
Tracking System™, is developed in SQL Server,
Microsoft Access and VBA specifically for
tracking the flow of laundry from intake to
return delivery. With its optional scale
interface, it will weigh soiled and cleaned
laundry and track production by the specific
equipment used. A uniform tracking module
with bar codes readers and printers is available
to manage the processing of uniforms.
ABS Personnel
Tracking System™ (PTS™) provides a robust full
featured human resources management system with
integration to TRAVERSE Payroll module. It
allows you to manage the entire workflow process
from new employee hiring, orientation, benefits,
performance, compensations, reviews, and
training. This application is written in
Microsoft SQL with source code providing
flexible and powerful reporting capabilities.
E-Piece Work Entry is a
web-enabled data entry system designed for use at your client site or
wherever there is an internet connections. E-Piece Work Entry links directly
to your TRAVERSE Personnel Tracking System for information on contracts,
customer, jobs, and individuals.
E-Piece Work Entry meets the needs of
nonprofit organizations that specialize in hiring people with disabilities. By allowing data entry from any location, any time, using an existing internet connection, this web based screen is ideal for field use or multi-location organizations.
