Heritage Malta has recently teamed-up with Shireburn Software to support its prestigious sites with their software solutions. Shireburn was chosen to replace the previous systems and provide its integrated accounting, inventory and point-of-sale solutions to help combine operations at Heritage Malta’s various museums and sites around Malta and Gozo.

Heritage Malta embarked on a long term project to integrate all systems across all its operations. Shireburn’s Inventory Management System (SIMS) was implemented as the backbone inventory control system, with a total of 21 implementations of Shireburn’s Point-of-Sale (SPOS) solution across all Heritage Malta museums and sites, including the National Museum of Archaeology, the Inquisitor’s Palace, St Paul’s Catacombs and the Gozo Nature Museum amongst others.

Heritage Malta is continuously striving to integrate all its data into one knowledge base and hence this includes several initiatives which concern the updating of all its ICT services and tools.

The Shireburn Financial Manager (SFM) has also replaced the previous accounting system, and with direct integration with inventory, point of sale and payroll, it now provides a more cohesive solution for Heritage Malta to run its operations more smoothly.

Training was provided to all Heritage Malta staff over the course of a month, starting with back office employees, and onto management and front facing staff, in time for the ‘go live’ date.

Heritage Malta had already been using Shireburn’s Payroll System (SPS) in conjunction with Shireburn’s Time and Attendance system since 2002 and runs a monthly payroll for its 310 employees.

Shireburn introduces Electronic Payments into its Accounting Solution

SEPA SFMUsers of the Shireburn Financial Manager are now able to electronically process Euro payments to their local and Euro-Zone suppliers without the need to print cheques or effect manual bank transfers.

This facility, available in the new SFM SEPA module, increases productivity by removing the need to prepare and sign cheques, reduces costs while also enhancing controls and auditability. The move away from cheque payments towards electronic payments ensures a faster, cheaper and more secure, fully audited and authorised payment process.

The SFM SEPA module allows businesses to manage electronic SEPA payments more efficiently, directly from within SFM. Payments to suppliers are posted as usual and authorised users are able to export a SEPA file, ready for upload on their bank’s on-line payments portal for authorisation by a signatory. Remittance advices are also able to be printed or sent to suppliers via email to notify them of the payment.

“Shireburn’s SEPA Module is yet another example of how Shireburn responds to evolving business needs and market requirements,” said Franco Galea, Operations Director at Shireburn Software. “Thousands of companies that depend on Shireburn’s accounting system will now be able to further boost their productivity, reduce costs and controls.”

The Shireburn SEPA module supports payments through Bank of Valletta, HSBC Bank Malta, Banif Bank, Lombard Bank Malta and APS. The SFM SEPA module was unveiled among some 200 of Malta’s top accounting professionals at the Malta Institute for Accountants (MIA) Conference held on the 6th and 7th November.

About SEPA

SEPA (Single European Payment Area) is a banking industry framework which simplifies bank transfers denominated in Euro to a bank account in a SEPA member country. SEPA allows anyone to affect cashless payments in Euro to anyone located within the Euro-Zone, using the same bank account and instructions as if they were affecting a local payment. This makes paying Euro-Zone creditors easier, cheaper and more efficient. More information regarding SEPA can be obtained from: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/payments/sepa/
