Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Aqilla Query, Reporting \& Search - Aqilla provides a flexible tool for the querying data held within the system. Document views may be created at both a summary and detail level of each of the source document types and ledger transactions. Queries can be constructed to view Sales Invoices, Purchase Invoices, Expense Sheets, etc. showing a summary view based on one or more fields that have been selected to summarise by and more often than not making the requirement to print hard copy reports unnecessary. The summary views can be expanded into details to show what transactions make up that summary (Drill Down). Similar views can be constructed for the ledger transactions enabling queries by journal, transaction, account, etc. These views also provide intelligent drill-down capabilities so that information may be examined in different dimensions. For example from an account enquiry, the user could select the journal number to display a journal enquiry for the selected transaction or a transaction enquiry by selecting the transaction reference. As is the case throughout the rest of Aqilla, column data can be sorted on the fly in ascending, descending and entry sequences. Reporting - Reports may be viewed directly in a web browser (or through a web service) and can contain both summary and detail views. If a hard copy report is required, the system can generate its output as a PDF file, which can be printed, emailed as an attachment, or exported to a formatted Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or CSV file. Each report can access a set of report profiles that stores the users individual selection; e.g. whether the un-posted journals are to be included, and details of the columns etc. These profiles can be specific to the user, and be added to, deleted or modified as required. Profiles may also be made available globally but these may not be modified. In order to assist in efficient and fast processing of documents, Aqilla has Smart-Search capabilities implemented throughout. When typing data into any Smart-Search field, the system will automatically generate a drop down list of records that includes matching information. Continuing to type will focus the results until the correct item is ultimately selected from the drop down. Smart-Search enables you find information quickly and efficiently, reducing errors in the preparation of documents. Integration - Aqilla uses web services technology to expose and exchange often used business functionality for direct application-to-application interaction, in the form of processes, messages, or documents. All web services are highly interoperable and re-usable and there is an increasing number of such services in the public domain designed to provide information from up to date currency rates through identification authentication to consignment shipment status and the systems makes good use of these where relevant. In addition to all the financial reports in the system being viewed directly via the web browser; any of the data in the system may be published using a web service in summary and detail forms and from here shared, processed (with full validation still being managed by Aqilla), printed, output to PDF or emailed as an attachment. Furthermore all data entered into the system may also be imported using a web service. This approach supports the entry and amendment of source documents; the updating of status information as well as the entry and amendment of reference data. Integration with Microsoft Excel - One way that the system exploits these web services is through the use of the Microsoft Excel Add-in. With this add-in installed, the user may very simply analyse live data, update reference data or import transactional data from an Excel worksheet. Business Intelligence Built In - The Aqilla Home Page features as standard a selection of Smart-KPIs (to track financial and non-financial metrics). These define and aid the measurement of progress against operational and strategic goals. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.2/5** | 33 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 3.8/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 70% | (7/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Aqilla - **Location**: London, UK - **Founded**: 2006 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: £10,00 - **Pricing model**: Flat Rate - **Pricing Details**: Core: £10 per month Line of Business: £25 per month Pro: £50 per month Enterprise: £70 per month Additional services available. - **Target Audience**: 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1 000, 1 001–5 000, 5 001–10 000, 10 000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Linux (Desktop), Chromebook (Desktop) - **Supported Languages**: English, French, Portuguese, Russian - **Available Countries**: Australia, Canada, China, India, United Kingdom, United States ## Features - "What If" Scenarios - API - Access Controls/Permissions - Accounting - Accounting Integration - Accounts Payable - Accounts Receivable - Activity Dashboard - Activity Tracking - Ad hoc Reporting - Aging Tracking - Alerts/Notifications - Approval Process Control - Asset Lifecycle Management - Audit Management - Audit Trail - Bank Reconciliation - Billing & Invoicing - Budgeting/Forecasting - Cash Flow Management ## Integrations (4 total) - Dropbox Business - Microsoft Excel - PayPal - Salesforce Sales Cloud ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Phone Support - Chat ## Category - [Accounting Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/236/accounting/software) ## Related Categories - [Accounting Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/236/accounting/software) - [Accounts Payable Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/237/accounts-payable/software) - [Accounts Receivable Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/238/accounts-receivable/software) - [Billing and Invoicing Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/240/billing-invoicing/software) - [Business Budgeting Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/241/budgeting/software) ## Alternatives 1.

It has help options and the support team are just a phone call away. > > **Cons**: So many features, you may not know existed and you're not making use of it. I found out the other day that I could be using widgets to remind me when to do stuff which is quite handy. > > Able to do things quickly. No delay. Don't think I could do without it now. ----- ### "Not Very Easy to Use" — 3.0/5 > **Alys** | *29 October 2019* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Any actions added are delivered directly to administrators, so they are acted on quickly. > > **Cons**: Not very easy to use for the first few times. The format can be confusing, for example if you need to set up multiple expense claims in a month. > > We use Aqilla to authorize expenses. I do not have to use very often, but have accesses as both a user and an authoriser for the people I manage. Confirming expenses is easier than submitting them. ----- ### "Good to go paperless" — 4.0/5 > **Megan** | *05 November 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What i like about this system is that you can save all pdf copies of invoices to this system, which is great to go paperless. > > **Cons**: Once you have posted anything you can't edit or delete what you have done. > > Yes over time i will understand it a lot better, i think from going from Sage 50 to this software is complacently different. ----- ### "So much easier to use than my old product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Donna** | *20 November 2017* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use, it's affordable (all the functions I need are covered) and the one time I got stuck the support team were great. > > **Cons**: Took a little while to get used to navigation as it is different to what I was used to, other than that, no concerns > > Saved money and can login wherever I am ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/10114/aqilla?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/10114/aqilla) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
