The radical new version comes after a year of intensive development. The software is cloud-based and has a new look plus a number of significant changes such as the ability for planners to ‘animate’ statements to help bring changes to cashflow modelling to life for clients.
Paul Etheridge, chairman of the Prestwood Group of companies, said: “Prestwood was developed by planners for planners.
“We conduct regular research amongst our users identifying new tools they would like to help enhance the service they give their clients. After a year of intense software development, the new version of Truth has delivered exactly what our users asked for.”
Ritchie Walton, MD of Prestwood, said: “We’ve significantly revamped functionality and design with superior technology.
“It’s cloud-based, accessible through iPads, mobile phones and multiple monitors etc - and it’s visually beautiful. We can integrate with most investment wraps and back office systems so our users’ experience a seamless, holistic solution.
“The software is more intuitive, in line with Microsoft Office. It’s much simpler, and for the novice, if they can operate Microsoft Office they can operate Truth.”
The company says that enhancements include:
• All statements can be animated – so Financial Planners can show a moving picture to clients and watch the graphics change through the projected years
• There is a touch mode for tablets, phones and hand held devices
• Bespoke dashboards allow Financial Planners to put any charts from any statements on the same screen.
• Multiple monitors can be used
Other new updates include:
• Rate stepper – allows the Financial Planner to take select investments or assets up or down ¼% to see how this will affect the cashflow
• Investment wrap integrations with Truth
