AutoCount Plugin Customise — We Build What AutoCount Doesn't Have

AutoCount plugin customise is a custom development service that creates new functionality inside AutoCount Accounting — functions that don't exist in the standard software or any available off-the-shelf plugin. We develop custom plugins using .NET/C# that integrate natively into your AutoCount system — appearing in menus, responding to user actions, reading and writing to the database, and working alongside every standard AutoCount module. The scope ranges from a single additional button on an existing screen to a complete new module with its own forms, data tables, workflow logic, and reporting. From RM1,600 per project.

What Can Be Customised?

Additional Buttons & Quick Actions

Add custom buttons to existing AutoCount screens that trigger actions your business needs. A button on the Invoice screen that auto-generates a WhatsApp message to the customer. A button on the Purchase Order screen that checks supplier stock via an external API. A button on the Stock Adjustment screen that logs the adjustment reason to a custom audit table. Small additions that slot into your existing workflow without changing how AutoCount works — they just add what's missing.

Custom Validations & Business Rules

Enforce rules that standard AutoCount doesn't support. Prevent saving an invoice if the delivery date falls on a public holiday. Block a purchase order if the total exceeds the department's approved budget. Require a supervisor override when a discount exceeds 15%. Auto-reject a sales order if the customer's last payment is overdue by more than 90 days. Your business policies become system-enforced rules — not verbal instructions that staff may forget.

Auto-Fill, Auto-Calculate & Field Logic

Automate data entry tasks that staff currently do manually. Auto-populate shipping charges based on customer postcode and item weight. Auto-calculate landed cost per item based on invoice amount plus freight ratio. Auto-assign the salesman based on the customer's region code. Auto-generate a document reference number using a custom format. These automations save seconds per document — but across thousands of documents per year, the cumulative time saving is substantial.

New Screens & Custom Modules

Build entirely new screens inside AutoCount — with their own data entry forms, list views, search functions, and print reports. A custom job order management screen for a service business. A custom warranty claim tracking module. A custom property rental management form. A custom quality inspection entry linked to goods receiving. These modules integrate into AutoCount's menu structure and operate alongside standard modules — using the same database, same user login, and same access rights.

Custom Workflows & Process Automation

Design multi-step workflows that AutoCount doesn't provide natively. A custom approval chain that routes through 3 levels based on document amount. A custom document transfer flow that creates 4 documents from one trigger. A custom notification system that emails specific staff when certain conditions are met. A custom batch processing routine that runs overnight to consolidate branch data. Workflows that match how your business actually operates — not how generic software assumes you operate.

Multi-Database Connectivity

Connect AutoCount to external databases — read data from a third-party system, write AutoCount data to an external reporting database, or synchronise records between AutoCount and custom applications. Your ERP, CRM, HR system, warehouse management system, or any external database can exchange data with AutoCount through a custom plugin. No manual export-import cycles. No copy-paste between systems.

Cross-Account Book Operations

Build functions that work across multiple AutoCount company account books. A consolidated dashboard that pulls sales data from 5 branch account books into one management view. A custom inter-company process that goes beyond standard Inter Company Billing. A group-level stock inquiry that shows inventory across all entities. A head office report that compares performance across all subsidiaries. Cross-account book plugins give management the group-level visibility that single-entity operations cannot provide.

Development Approach

.NET / C# Native Development

All custom plugins are developed in .NET and C# — the same technology stack AutoCount is built on. The plugin runs natively inside AutoCount with full access to the AutoCount API, event system, UI framework, and MSSQL database. No middleware. No external runtime. No compatibility concerns. The plugin is part of AutoCount.

AutoCount API & Event Integration

Custom plugins hook into AutoCount's API and event system — creating invoices, updating stock, posting journals, reading master data, and responding to document events (before save, after save, on transfer, on delete) programmatically. Your custom logic executes at the right moment in the right context — integrated into AutoCount's existing workflow, not bolted on as an afterthought.

MSSQL Database — Read, Write & Custom Tables

Full access to AutoCount's MSSQL database for reading existing data and writing new records. Create custom database tables for plugin-specific data that AutoCount doesn't store natively. Join custom tables with standard AutoCount tables for reporting and analysis. Your custom module has its own data layer while remaining connected to AutoCount's core data.

How It Works

1. You Describe the Requirement

Tell us what you need AutoCount to do — in plain business language. What's the problem? What should happen? Who uses it? We translate your business requirement into a technical specification and confirm feasibility.

2. We Quote a Fixed Price

Based on the scope and complexity, we provide a fixed project quote — no hourly billing surprises. Small customisations (buttons, validations, auto-fill) start from RM1,600. Larger projects (new screens, workflows, multi-database) are quoted based on scope.

3. We Develop, Test & Deploy

We build the plugin, test it against your AutoCount data and configuration, and deploy it to your live system. We walk your team through the new functionality and confirm everything works in your production environment.

Who Needs AutoCount Plugin Customise?

Businesses with Unique Processes

Companies in specialised industries where standard accounting modules don't cover industry-specific workflows. Construction, property, logistics, healthcare, education, agriculture, automotive — every industry has processes that generic software doesn't anticipate. A custom plugin adapts AutoCount to your business.

Businesses Integrating Multiple Systems

Companies running AutoCount alongside other software (CRM, WMS, HR, custom apps) that need automated data exchange between systems. A custom plugin builds the bridge — eliminating manual data transfer and double entry.

Multi-Company Groups

Business groups operating multiple AutoCount account books that need consolidated reporting, cross-entity workflows, or group-level dashboards that standard features don't provide.

Businesses Automating Manual Processes

If your team performs the same multi-step process in AutoCount every day — a custom plugin can automate it into one click. The ROI is hours saved per week, every week.

Pricing

From RM1,600 per project. Final pricing depends on complexity:

Medium — Custom rules, multi-step logic, process automation: quoted based on scope

Large — New screens, workflows, multi-database, cross-account book: quoted based on scope
Fixed quote provided after requirement discussion — no open-ended billing.
