Extender Will:
  • Save you lots of your valuable time
  • Eliminate posting errors
  • Enhance the quality of your accounting information
  • Allow your staff with no accounting knowledge to record all your revenues in QuickBooks 
  • Improves the quality of your KennelSoft Atlantis database

 The transfer of data from KennelSoft Atlantis & Avalon into QuickBooks can be done in one of two ways:

Automatic mode.  In automatic mode, Extender will generate the entries and insert them directly into QuickBooks. This requires that your QuickBooks company file be either: 
    • on the same workstation as Extender or
    • accessible and on the same network as Extender.  
Paper mode.  In this mode, Extender will generate the entries but you must print out the entries and enter the transactions ‘manually.’ This mode is designed for those facilities where a bookkeeper does all entries in QuickBooks or where a network connection to the QuickBooks company file cannot be established. 

Transferring Data to QuickBooks  This is the main purpose of Extender. This easy to use software can take seconds to make complete and accurate entries into QuickBooks based on the mapping which you have set up. Before making a transfer of data from Atlantis to QuickBooks you will specify where each amount on a ‘charges’ report will go in QuickBooks. The entry of the mapping information is a one time activity that only requires changes if you change the Atlantis setup or change how you do your accounting in QuickBooks. After you have set up the mapping, the process goes like this:
  1. Generate a ‘charges’ report in Atlantis (sub-total by day, sub-total by month or Grand Totals) for the appropriate accounting period / location.
  2. Open Extender’s ‘Make transfers’ screen.
  3. Click the ‘Generate’ button and your data is already in QuickBooks!
You can transfer your data each day, each week, or a whole month at a time. It depends on you. Extender will ensure that you don’t transfer any data twice and that all of your data has been transferred to QuickBooks.  For more detail on the transfer process see Transfer Data and have a look at the accounting reports samples which show the detail of each QuickBooks entry. If you find an error in Atlantis, Extender makes it easy to fix the QuickBooks entries.  Each time you make a transfer, Extender will check to see if any changes have been made to the Atlantis setup and ask you to make any required adjustments to your mapping setup.

Accounting Reports Samples  Click on the following links to see a sample in a new window. (Requires PDF reader.)

Mapping Table This report shows how every possible item that could appear on a charges report is mapped. Be sure to review pages 5 and 6.

Sales Receipt   This report shows all of the information used to create a sales receipt. Note that this report shows data for only one location of several in Atlantis.

General Journal   This shows the data used to create a General Journal entry in QuickBooks.

Transfer Log   This report lists all of the transfers that were made for a given range of dates. This report is from Atlantis Entender’s log table which ensures that all of your transfers are recorded and that you do not tranfer the same data more than once.  Using this report will ensure that you have transferred all of your KennelSoft Atlantis data for a given date range into QuickBooks.

OTHER  EXTENDER FEATURES
The following features are currently available and we plan to add others soon. Just let us know what you would like to see.
  • Data Exports   Extender will produce Excel spreadsheets that contain selected data from your Atlantis database.
  • Map where your best customers live The following two extracts are designed to allow you to import data into either Microsoft Streets and Trips or into Microsoft MapPoint. Both of these programs will allow you to see a map of where your customers (or just your better customers) live. Mappoint will allow you to see colored map indicators that vary based on the total amount each customer has spent.
  • Customer addresses and total spending – previous year.
  • Customer addresses and total spending – current year to date.
  • E-mail addresses There is an extract that will allow you to create a file of all of the valid e-mail addresses in Atlantis with the click of one button. This was created to facilitate uploading your addresses to an e-mail service such as Constant Contact.
  • Vet names The following extract is designed to help you improve the quality of the vet information in your client records:
  • A vet is specified but that vet has not been entered into the lookup table. (Since users can enter vet information directly into the Atlantis client screen, they can mispell the name or use different punctuation or spacing.)
  • The following reports are available in addition to the accounting reports:
  • Suspected duplicate owners. This report will help you keep your database clean and avoid confusion finding the correct owner when you are setting up or searching for an appointment. It can also help by eliminating duplicates in your e-mail blasts.
  • Suspected duplicate pet records.
  • Veterinarians with common clients. This report allows you to see which vets have the most overlap with your client base. The report shows, for each vet in the Atlantis look-up table, all pets with that vet name in the pet record.
  • Pets with invalid veterinarian names. A vet is specified but that vet has not been entered into the look-up table. (Since users can enter vet information directly into the client screen, they can misspell the name or use different punctuation or spacing.) This report contains the phone and e-mail addresses needed to help you obtain valid vet names.
  • Inactive owners report. This report lists all owners where no charges have been recorded either for last fiscal year or the current fiscal year to date.
  • Data editing features Pets with invalid vets Extender will allow you to examine each of the invalid vet entries in your client records and change the client record to match a vet in your vet look-up table.
The Extender demo will automatically expire 30 days after installation. Creditech Solutions, Inc. will send you a registration code to unlock the demo.  Please note that Extender requires that you have a copy of the KennelSoft Atlantis program - version 9.2.0.50 or later – either the demo or the production version installed on your computer. 

KennelSoft Atlantis & Avalon programs have been modified to produce a special “charges” file that supplies the data required by Extender.  If you already own a Atlantis or Avalon licence but you do not yet have this version, you must obtain and install the latest version from KennelSoft in order to be able to use Extender in the production mode.   Alternatively, you can download and install the latest version of the Atlantis or Avalon demo from the KennelSoft website and use these demos to evaluate Extender. 

We strongly recommend that you download and read “Using the Demo” before you install and start Extender.   A link to this Extender document will be included in the e-mail you will receive from Creditech Solutions, Inc. when you apply to download the Extender Demo.

What A Few KennelSoft Atlantis Users Say:

Hank Bialous, Country Kennel, Lindenwold, NJ  “I’ve been using QuickBooks for more then 15 years and I also was a QuickBooks pro advisor for a few years. I’m also a pet hotel operator and have been using Kennelsoft Atlantis for probably as long. 

They are both excellent programs in their own right. But to get my Atlantis financial data into QuickBooks, I would have to manually enter it. There was a bridge program that was supposed to automate this in the past, but it never worked accurately, so I was skeptical about Atlantis Extender at first. 

When I started using the Extender program, it didn’t quite do what I needed. But after working with Bill Jensen, it is now advanced to the point where it takes maybe a minute a day to have the data transferred. Then I compare my on account balances and refundable deposits balances in both programs and when they match, as they usually do, I’m done. If there’s a difference because of an incorrect entry in Atlantis, then I know where to quickly find the error and correct it. 

It was well worth the few hours spent in initial setup to save so much entry time in the future and get numbers I can trust. Extender also contains several useful reports and functions of it’s own. Thank you Bill.”
Susan Parker, Parker Pet Care Inc., Toronto, ON“  Parker Pet Care has been using Extender since 2012 as a complement to our Atlantis Software Program and our QuickBooks accounting program.  We have two locations and process all of our sales from our Head Office in Toronto. From an administrative point of view, Extender has proven to be a time saving bridge between our two programs.  Extender allows us to process our sales much faster than before. It enhances the accuracy of our postings by eliminating manual posting errors and allowing us to breakdown our revenue into specific categories that would otherwise be very time consuming to do manually. Once Extender is mapped specifically for your company, an employee with little accounting knowledge would be able to record revenues into QuickBooks.  Extender is very easy to use and I recommend it to anyone who uses Atlantis and QuickBooks.”  
Marci Garl, Fit ‘N’ Furry Pet Resort, Petaluma, CA   “Extender is a great software application to use in conjunction with the Atlantis program. Once it is set up, moving the daily transactions into  QuickBooks is a dream. In the past I had to enter all the daily transactions one by one into QuickBooks, which took hours. Now it literally takes only a few minutes. Bill Jensen was a blessing to work with; he had all the patience in the world in teaching me how to get it set up and running correctly. I highly recommend the program and wish I had had something like this to help me get my transactions transferred to QuickBooks years ago. Thank you, Bill.”
