  • Accurate business intelligence in real time

    Coda software can be installed centrally and accessed online, so all your store managers can view performance in real time - delivering complete financial transparency. You are able to track profitability and make well-informed decisions, in the assurance that the reports are as accurate as they can be; always using the latest information.

    “We have reduced month end to around a week and budgeting is made easier because it’s very easy to pull historical information out of Coda.”

    Michael Conway, Project Manager,
    Debenhams

    In addition to customised, up-to-date reports, because the Coda system contains all the figures in a singe chart of accounts, everything required for IFRS regulation reports is easy and quick to access.

  • A finance system that grows with you

    The Coda system will not only increase your efficiency now, but if your business expands, the system will grow with you to cope with the introduction of new stores and the rise in the volume of transactions, without the need for you to increase head count.

    “Dream will enable us to expand without adding significantly to the finance team at head office. And its ability to handle journal entries for prepayments and accruals is already making our life easier.”

    Jim Spratley, Director of Finance,
    Cash Converters
