Communicate with customer automatically by SMS Send a range of customers a preset SMS message personally addressed with individual name by simply pressing a key. For example, you have a special sale on the weekend, send an SMS from the Communications Console letting 1000's of your customers know. If you do not have the customer mobile number it can revert to an email automatically. Or, when an order is ready send an SMS from the Communications Console letting the customer know.
Output reports in PDF and other formats Reports can be output in PDF format and sent by email. This could be an invoice or statement for your customer.
Email invoices in PDF format automatically

Statements can also be sent by email. This way of sending invoicing not only saves printing cost but postage and time putting in envelopes and posting.
Dynamic Queries A query can be easily written to report on any database e.g. show me all parts sold this month with a value of less than $1.
Dynamic Selection Lists
Selection Lists are used throughout the software e.g. a debtor transaction history, the difference from our old selection lists is that they can be in any order, ref no, ref date, post date, post time, amount, balance, type, order no or outstanding. This type of flexibility is available in all selection lists making it so much easier when searching.
