Project

Database System

The application is a networked database into which data from Processors is entered. This data, when associated with the appropriate contract, generates a Payment Certificate. Various reports provide statistical and financial analysis of the data. Summary information can be exported in XML format.

Current enhancements include the electronic import of data direct from Processors and the export of invoicing information for subsequent import into accounts systems.

The application is written in Delphi using a relational Paradox database.

Corporate Website

As AQM’s membership is distributed, the AQM website has been developed to build a community. A regular weekly newsletter gives information on the week’s trade.
