ProfiitPlus New Features and Enhancements in 2024
This year we introduced a whopping 85 NEW features to ProfiitPlus, and rolled out 71 useful program enhancements to elevate your experience with using ProfiitPlus within your business. Here are some of our key highlights from the year:
Lightning Payroll integration
Foresiight Software has partnered with Lightning Payroll, enabling users to seamlessly import payroll journals directly into ProfiitPlus. This integration simplifies the payroll process and enhances overall efficiency.
With this new feature, users can easily manage their payroll data, ensuring accurate financial records.
The collaboration between Foresiight Software and Lightning Payroll aims to streamline operations and support better financial management.
Transactional Statement
Transactional Statements present all transactions within a selected date range, in order of the transaction date. This new feature has been introduced to mimic the Account Detail report, but for the purpose of sending a historical transaction list to your customer.
The design can be built using the Document Designer and customised much like an Invoice or Statement design can be.
Retrospective Stock Valuation report
Previously, the Stock Valuation was a “live” report, with no ability to back date to an earlier date.
A new feature has been added that enables the operator to choose a retrospective date on the Stock Valuation Report. This allows users to be able to retrieve valuations from the historical data.
EFTPOS surcharges
EFTPOS surcharges can now be managed automatically via supported integrated EFTPOS systems, Linkly and Tyro.
Surcharges can also optionally be applied to deposits on Jobs, Sales Orders and Backorders.
Special Buy-ins extensions
The suite of features around Special Buy-ins continues to grow with more and more time saving functionality.
- A new column indicating Special Buy-In links is now visible from the sales document entry screen on the Select Existing tab and on each line item under Item Detail tab.
- Special Buy-In labels can now be printed directly from the Sales document screen. Previously this option was only available before a supplier delivery docket or invoice was entered, up to the time of posting. This can be found under the Picking List / Delivery Docket button from the Item Detail tab.
- A new field has been added to the purchase order layout to print details for special buy-in links to sales documents. The blurb will be displayed as “Invoice 1000000 has a Special Buy-In for Qty 2”.
- A new version of the Open Purchase Orders Report allows the user to report on the Special Buy-In details. The report prints the heading details of the purchase order along with the Item, description, customer code, customer name, sales document number, Ordered (on purchase order), Buy-In (Qty linked from sales order) and Due Date.
- Users will now see when a Special Buy-In link is attached to a Purchase invoice. This is indicated by the “S” column on the List tab and the “Buy-In” column on the Stock/Details tab. This will assist users recognising invoices with Special Buy-In’s.
Central bill on-the-fly
A new feature has been launched that enables selected Sales Invoices to be charged directly to the child account of a central-billed customer.
With this new feature enabled, the operator is now able to select on-the-fly, during entry of a Sales Invoice, whether to charge to the parent account or to the child account. This feature has also been added in the Banking Batch entry screen, enabling allocation of invoice payments from both the child account and the parent account.
Scheduler enhancements
The Scheduler module has undergone a raft of enhancements, here are a few picks:
- A booking can now be cloned to a different day and time, retaining the original booking. To clone a booking, right click the booking to select “Clone Booking to another Date”
- Printing from the Scheduler, the list of jobs has been enhanced to print a screenshot of the booking screen. Filter options include resource, store and date range. The report can be printed to a printer/PDF creator or saved by default into the Exports folder.
- When creating a new booking in Scheduler, the user has an option to create a Sales Document. This previously supported one pre-defined document type only; either a Job, Order or Invoice. A new option now allows for creation of any of these document types on-the-fly.
There were many more new features and improvements introduced in 2024. To view a full list of updates, see the complete release notes by logging into your Support Centre via the client portal Support Centre.

HBT National Conference 2024
One of the highlights of our year was attending the HBT National Conference in August, at the Adelaide Convention Centre. It was a fantastic couple of days spent connecting with HBT National Buying Group members and learning about their businesses.
We also had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with some of our existing Foresiight customers, as well as connect with potential new customers to discuss how our flagship software, ProfiitPlus, could support their goals and help drive success in their business.
The conference wrapped up in style with a gala dinner and awards ceremony, themed ‘A Night at the Races.’ It was a memorable evening full of laughter, good food, and great company.
