Release of 4cost-suite 4.3.3: New smart functions, improved workflows, increased performance<\/h1><\/div>We are pleased to present to you the new 4.3.3 version of the 4cost costing software. During the last few months, our development team implemented numerous new functions and improvements to ensure and providing the results you really need, now even faster. The development focused mainly on the optimisation of workflows within the 4cost software and enhancing the calculating transparency.<\/strong><\/p>\nBelow are some highlights of the 4cost-suite 4.3.3<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"4cost](\"https:\/\/www.4cost.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/4cost_Software-Update.png\" "\\"4cost")

A faster start and independence of your IT department is ensured.<\/p>\nImproved database maintenance:<\/strong> Easy transfer, adjustment and reimport of your 4cost databases into and from Excel. This saves a lot of time updating and maintaining large amounts of data.<\/p>\nLicensing monitor:<\/strong> The new license monitor offers more transparency to administer company-wide 4cost software<\/a> installations.

Adjust the material overheads individually to reflect your company-specific situation and circumstances.<\/p>\nImproved reporter:<\/strong> The real-time generated reports in 4cost-aces<\/a> now provide you with more flexibility in customisation and a higher level of detail. The management report has been completely revised and enhanced to include a wide range of presenting results.
