Task Tracking

Sentinel Filing Monitor:

Helps you to protect your companies against ID theft. Sentinel will alert you when filings are made against your companies at Companies House. Simply choose the companies and form types that you wish to monitor. Sentinel will then work silently in the background keeping watch on your companies' public records and advising you when new filings are made. Sentinel can also make you aware of legitimate filings made by a client company without your knowledge, and can provide confirmation that filed accounts have been received by Companies House.

Integrated Database:

Single records are held for each of the different types of entity - companies, individuals and third parties (such as banks, solicitors and accountants). They are linked together by their respective relationships, for example, directorships and shareholdings. You can trace and report on relationships across the entire database using the Entity Explorer facility.

Statutory Forms

A wide range of over 70 official forms can be generated automatically when statutory events are recorded in the database, or can be created on demand. Forms can be printed for signature and postal filing or filed over the Internet using the Companies House electronic filing service. Forms can also be emailed as .PDF attachments.

Documents and Reports

Produce minutes containing multiple business items, share certificates, letters, dividend warrants and other documents automatically, or on demand. These can be edited or opened in Microsoft® Word with a single button click. Reports include various company listings, individual and company profiles, as well as statutory registers. All documents can be sent via email. Information can also be easily exported as mail merge or data files, allowing you to create your own customised documents and reports.

Task Tracking

The customisable Task List allows you to track future and overdue tasks, such as incomplete forms and documents and the filing of annual returns and accounts. Additionally, you can use the Public Record Checker to check that the annual returns and accounts that you have filed have been placed on the public record.

Customer Support

Digita provides expert and friendly customer support via telephone, email, facsimile and post. On-site training is available on request.

Microsoft® Office

Digita Company Secretarial v8.0 is built around a Microsoft® SQL Server database. There is a facility to export company data as Microsoft® Word mail merge files, for mailshot or reporting purposes. Contact details can be imported from Microsoft® Outlook.

General Requirements

Digita applications are designed for professional production work. Our system requirements are based on the assumption that professional accounting firms replace their computer hardware and operating systems approximately every three years.

While our software may operate on less powerful hardware and operating systems, we do not believe it will perform at a level suitable for production work in those environments. Of course, as processing speed and RAM are increased, software performance will also improve. We recommend business class computers, which generally offer higher levels of performance than home models when running business applications.

The following link provides access to the general requirements for the current versions of all of our applications. However, some products have more stringent and/or additional requirements beyond those documented. Be sure to read the Product-Specific Requirements or speak with one of our consultants for further information.
