Owners Accounts Bureau Service
Background
The ATA has processed Owners accounts for many Trainers since the early 1980's. The costs of developing software and purchase of hardware in those days resulted in a substantial investment at the time for Trainers. The ATA was a pioneer in the industry by developing Owners accounts software that was operational on our internal systems with many Trainers taking advantage of the bureau service.
The unique nature of the industry requires a tailored debtor management software package that primarily can simplify accounting for horse charges in accordance with ownership shares. In addition to performing the unique accounting functions, the software also needs to facilitate many other features required by Trainers that compliment business operations, and important client/owner communications.
With the evolving landscape of software and operating systems it was clear that a specialist business was required that was committed to the ongoing development of our internal bureau software. The ATA engaged the services of Wilmat Application Software (WAS) to redevelop our initial systems. WAS has developed and maintained some of the software systems used by the ATA for many years. The ATA continues to use Owners accounts and Payroll software developed by WAS for internal bureau processing.
The ATA informs that it is not a beneficiary of any related software or service sales by WAS and does not constitute or imply endorsement, recommendation or favouring of the products or services provided by WAS.
