Jim2 eBusiness for Importers, Exporters and Distributors.
Here's a quick success story about one of Happen's Import/Export Customers:
Local Accounting Software Helps Exporter Reach New Heights
As if winning international export contracts AND the AMP Innovation Award 2009 wasn’t enough, Australian Innovative Systems (AIS) has also taken out the “Most Innovative Product” at the Barcelona Swimming Pool and Spa Trade Show 2009.
With over 35 years of experience in the water industry, AIS products are not only some of the best in the world but, in many cases, they are considered world firsts. “International distribution and sales have been at the forefront of AIS’ growth since the change of management in 1992”, owners’ Kerry and Elena Gosse said. Today the company has distributors throughout Australia as well as partners serving markets in Spain, Czech Republic, Russia, Ukraine, Middle East, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and South America.
Investing heavily in state of the art design and manufacturing, AIS also took on a business system that could cope with their business plans. Happen Business’ “Jim2 Business Engine” is the technology behind AIS that allows them to trade efficiently across international borders. AIS needed a business system that could provide support with multiple foreign currency transactions, improved stock control and workflow management including stock serial number tracking.
“Jim2 allows for accurate recording, documentation and tracking of overseas contracts. The multicurrency feature is so important for our invoicing. Jim2 helps us save time on administration work and concentrate on winning new business overseas” according to Elena Gosse.
“Not only does Jim2 let us calculate our foreign currency exposure quickly each day, Jim2 provides complete information about workflow operations from materials ordering, production, sales and marketing, through to shipping and delivery. Every business that exports needs these functions, and to top it off, the team from Happen Business were absolutely wonderful” Elena said.

The software technology developed
for Stock control sets Jim2 apart from ordinary "accounting packages"
and makes Jim2 a true Business Application.
Live, FIFO Stock Control
- The concepts that your stock should not only include normal
inventory but also labour, tests and checks ensures the real costs of
inputs are able to be on-charged to your customers - accurately and
consistently.
- Jim2 can calculate Stock quantity and pricing "on the fly"
using information from stock measures, stock locations, stock
transfers, returns from customers, returns to vendors, purchase order
and manufacturing job status, pre-defined selling price levels and
‘specific customer’ pricing.
- Jim2 will prompt users to create backorders or auto backfill on part receipt/supply of Stock on Jobs and Purchases.
- Live Stock Profit reporting by Stock, Account Manager or Sales
person, Customer, GL group - filtered by any combination of product
& customer grouping, sales & servicing, stock location,
supplier, kitted product by ‘kit’ or ‘content’, filtering by date range
– even filtering by margin!
- Only one Stock record is required to identify a product. Jim2 handles multiple Vendor codes, and preferred vendor rankings.
Inward Goods Landed Costing
- Purchases can be “received” into stock-on-hand count and sold, then
“finished” on receipt of ‘actual’ vendor invoice. Jim2 will calculate
an estimate COGS on receipt of stock for profit reporting, and
automatically journal the adjusted profit calculation when the purchase
cost is finalised.
- Link separate Expense Orders (duty, freight) directly to a Purchase Order to effect ‘cost of goods’
Multicurrency
- Full multicurrency including Foreign Currency Bank accounts, Sales, Debtors, Purchasing and Creditors.

account on full payment of Invoice/Purchase or Allocation of
Credit/Prepayment Order.
