network, the system provides the necessary labels, dockets,

Customers, Prices and Invoicing
In addition to the name, address, contacts and phone
numbers the system holds a wide variety of default values
for each customer which automatically populates a large
percentage of the entry fields when a new job is entered.

The system also builds up reference files of collection and delivery addresses already used for each customer.
All of these features reduce the time taken to enter new jobs and ensure accuracy of data entered. |

| Over the years the programs have built up a wide variety of methods for calculating
the price to charge for a particular profile of delivery and if using a Hub or Sub-Contractor,
the costs of having the items delivered for you. |

Powerful invoicing routines will prepare invoices to your design
with a choice of which items an invoice can include for each customer
e.g. one job per invoice, a day's jobs per invoice or all uninvoiced jobs.
|
Customers may also be grouped into 'sets' that have differing invoicing requirements,
therefore preparing invoices is as simple as 'prepare invoices for all customers in the daily invoice set'.
Links to Sage or Pegasus are standard and our development programmers have experience of connecting to a wide variety of other in-house
accounting systems.
