ActivityHD
Flexible, customizable ERP and enterprise accounting software
About ActivityHD
ActivityHD is a fully integrated ERP and enterprise accounting system from AccountingWare, built for organizations with complex accounting and payroll structures. Rather than forcing businesses into rigid templates, it provides customizable tools and real-time "high definition" screens so finance teams gain immediate visibility and control over their financial data. Core modules cover the full accounting stack, from general ledger and accounts payable to payroll and fixed assets.
Pros & Cons
Pros
