Why MACCS™ and why now?

As the developer of MACCS™, we have provided custom software solutions to our clients in the cemetery and funeral industry for over a decade. It has become abundantly clear that there is currently a void in the marketplace. Although there are a few known mortuary and cemetery packages, there are none that truly integrate the essential functions performed by separate mortuary and cemetery packages. MACCS™ does this and more. As such, we’re excited to bring MACCS™ and all of its capabilities to a wider audience.

Why another mortuary and cemetery management system?

MACCS™ is like no other application currently available in the marketplace. It is truly an “Enterprise-wide” solution. It was created to address all the automation needs of an organization providing cemetery, mortuary, and funeral services in one single, complete, and comprehensive package. It was developed to integrate with your existing office productivity tools such as MS-Word™, MS-Excel™, and MS-Outlook™. It is meant to truly improve the efficiency of your organization resulting in improved productivity and ultimately resulting in superior customer service.

Does MACCS™ do mapping?

Yes. Our MACCS™ Mapping module provides GIS mapping capabilities integrated in real-time with the information in the MACCS™ Cemetery Property database. We have a strategic partnership with Ramaker & Associates, Inc. to provide the data conversion services to convert existing CAD and paper maps into the underlying GIS maps used in our system. MACCS™ and FPA Software provides a complete turn-key solution.

How flexible is MACCS™ really?

MACCS™ is completely flexible. Much of the power of the system comes from the configuration of all the setup codes. All of the forms are created in Crystal Reports so you can modify them to fit your organization’s specific needs. You can create custom reports in Crystal Reports and add them to the Custom Reports Menu in MACCS™ and even limit access to them through user security. If you’re a religious institution, MACCS™ even has a way to be configured to address your specify religious needs. Everything about MACCS™ is flexible.

What kind of computers does MACCS™ run on?

MACCS™ runs on MS-Windows workstations – any version from MS-Windows NT, 2000, to XP Professional and Vista. Likewise, the File Server can also be any version of MS-Windows Server - from MS-Windows NT Server, 2000 Server, and 2003 Server. No other additional hardware is required. No dedicated SQL Server.

Can MACCS™ run across multiple office locations?

Yes. MACCS™ can easily run across multiple locations through MS-Windows Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe.
