Pastel allows you to enter invoices in a logical and intuitive manner. Save time, ensure accuracy and control back orders by linking quotations and sales orders.

Pastel can track your inventory in as much detail as necessary. You can create product or service items, establish minimum and maximum stock levels and much more.
This standard feature allows e-mailing of documents such as statements, invoices, orders and quotations in PDF and HTML format. Each document layout has a corresponding PDF layout. The e-mail screen allows you to cc and bcc recipients and contacts from Outlook. Seamless integration of these elements makes communicating with your clients and suppliers easy. The body text limit for e-mails has increased and additional files can now be attached.

Pastel’s Financial Ratios allow you to analyse the key areas of your business at the click of a button.
The Forms Designer interface makes it easy to customise stationery layouts of documents such as invoices, quotes, orders and labels. And you can customise forms for the PDF documents that you e-mail.
Pastel enables you to integrate your general ledger, customer, and supplier data with Microsoft® Office* and allows you to export customer and supplier contact information into Outlook.
