Axiom’s offices are currently located in Omaha, USA and Melbourne, Australia.
Charon was the ferryman of the underworld who brought the souls of the dead across the river Styx to the gates of the underworld. He only allowed those who had been properly buried and could pay the fee of a coin to board his boat. Hence the name Charon is immersed in centuries of tradition in Death Care.
Charon Cemetery Management Suite provides completely integrated and user friendly software for the death care industry including fully integrated Cemetery Records, GIS Cemetery Mapping, Touch Screen, Accounting, Web capability and Hand Held PDA capability.
The Charon Cemetery Management Suite was originally developed over 10 years ago by Axiom Business Systems in partnership with Australia’s top death care professionals. The software was developed by Axiom’s dedicated development team and with help from people in the death care industry. The software has been continually enhanced over the last 10 years to meet the ever changing needs of Axiom’s customers and future customers. The Charon Cemetery Management Suite has been developed in a Microsoft Windows environment and has continued to improve visually in line with the visual changes Microsoft has introduced over the last 10 years.
The Charon Cemetery Management Suite is fully integrated with Sage Pro ERP, an internationally renowned Accounting System with in excess of 500,000 business users worldwide. Axiom has developed the Charon Cemetery Records moduleto be seamlessly integrated into the Sage Pro ERP software. It is functionally and visually the same as all other Sage Pro ERP modules. The Charon Cemetery Records module has been developed using the high standards of an internationally renowned company such as Sage.
