Nexus XP Features

Basic Terminology and Concepts for Quicker Staff Understanding and Task Completion

  • Windows Based Software: Familiar window types and screens make learning the software a breeze.
  • Informative Pop-up Windows: As data is entered into Nexus XP's blank fields, pop-up windows inform users of what's expected in the blank.
  • Terminology based on common Office Management, Accounting, and Deathcare Service concepts: Staff can use their own knowledge of their field and industry and logically apply this knowledge to their software usage.
  • Single Entry Maintenance: Entering information in one area automatically updates all instances of that field.  Contract entry, for instance, leads to allocations, trusts, commissions, receivables, property, etc.
  • Intuitive Flow of Steps: Nexus XP's system methodology is designed with the same procedures, logic and flow that cemeteries traditionally utilize in their own business management. 

Industry Specific Features

  • Trust and commission liabilities are automatically established during contract entry.  When payments are made, Nexus XP automatically credits all funds designated when the contract was entered.
  • Bonuses can be tracked according to volume and reset at the end of each bonus period.  Reserve accounts, split commissions, team sales and special discounts are also tracked. 
  • Reporting such as trust reporting, sales reports, commission reports (including deferred payments and overrides) and liability reports are fully automated.
  • Owner and interment/entombment information is available in a variety of ways including location, owner, contract, burial and purchaser.

  • Nexus XP offers multiple cancellation options, including automatic return of property to inventory and (if desired) automatic charge-back to the counselor.
  • In the case of returned checks, payment reversals can be made and the appropriate payments to counselors and trust will be reversed automatically.
