Configuration - Dropbox for Backups

We all realize the importance of scheduling a backup of your database. We have now made it more convenient to store the backups and retrieve the information when needed, by using a drop box. The drop box is easy to set up and is available for a nominal setup fee ($20) and a $5.95 monthly maintenance fee. This is a small price for knowing that a backup will be available if disaster strikes and data is lost. Take the backup, restoring it, and you are back up and running before your first customer arrives.

Inventory – Manufacturing Goods

Are the items you sell comprised of raw material that must be added up to determine the cost? We now have the ability to use the cost and quantities of the raw material to determine the cost of your inventory. You can now reorder based on your use of this raw material to determine what needs to be restocked.

Management – Another Tax Rate Option

Your business is often required to charge sales tax in creative ways – no longer do municipalities just collect tax on the full sales amount. Some areas must tax on amounts over a base amount or up to a ceiling only. The system now has even more options to make sure that you are able to tax every item correctly.

We have added a consolidation of store and venue in addition to the classifications and attributes you have become accustom to using.
