Business Controller Plus for Windows
This new version of the Business Controller Plus for Windows is a true 32 bit program that runs in Windows 98, NT, 2000 or Windows XP (Professional Edition only). The software does inventory, invoicing, customer tracking, accounts receivable, reordering, purchasing and much more. It also includes a Query module that allows you to design your own reports!
Fast and easy invoicing...
The program allows you to "check out" customers in seconds. It supports bar code readers, bar code printers, electronic cash drawers, customer pole displays and receipt printers (40 and 80 column dot matrix AND laser receipt printers).
Customer tracking...
The software allows you to track customer information including address, city, state, zip, phone, fax, email address, taxable, discount, tax rate, ship-to address, price level and more. Plus, we include 16 fields that you can tailor to your own business, including character, date and numeric fields.
It's The Only Solution For Apparel Merchandisers...
The MicroBiz software has an "apparel matrix" that gives you the ability to track all your sizes, colors or styles for each item in inventory. You will know which items are your best sellers. This information will aid in reordering and for promotions.
Quick credit card authorization...
The MicroBiz software's credit card option acts as your personal authorization company. You will have direct access to your bank to get quick and easy credit card authorization, checking account funds guarantee and ATM/bank card withdrawals. At the end of the day you will have a printed report of all of these transactions. It even transfers deposit proceeds electronically! This means the money you charge to your customer's credit cards is immediately transferred into your business bank account. Eliminate those tedious credit card slips forever!
Add-on Sales are Quick and Easy...
If you are looking for better ways to get your clerks to increase their sales dollars, MicroBiz's item scripts gives your clerk valuable information for add-on sales. These item scripts can be customized to give your clerks recommendations on products that complement the item being purchased.
Start Out Faster with Pre-built Databases
MicroBiz offers over 100 different vendor databases to make it easier to get started.
Say good-bye to Purchase Orders...
Automatic Vendor Notification, when enabled, automatically e-mails vendors with stock levels and purchase requirements, eliminating the need for purchase orders.
Save time with the Business Controller...
With our direct Interface between e-mail programs and work screens, you can e-mail invoice, quote, invoice in-progress and purchase order information to customers straight from the work screen.
Promote your business with the touch of a button...
You can automatically create flyers, sell sheets and web pages for items in inventory, including product descriptions, pictures and pricing. This simplifies development and maintenance of on-line catalogs and, with the auto e-mail function, you can send flyers and sell sheets to customers by e-mail automatically!
Customizable Product and Customer Browse Screens...
Select fields to browse in both product and customer lookup screens to suit customer needs without paying the high price of customized software.
See how easy it is...
Take a look at our Invoicing screen shown below. To sell an item, all you have to do is scan it. If you don't have a bar code reader you can type in the item number or you can press F3 to pop up a box and search by the description, the Item number or the Vendor #. Just press to load it.
Searching for customers is just as easy. You can bring up a customer by number - something that is ideal if you have memberships (like in a health club or a frequent buyer plan - you can just scan his membership card too) or you can look up a customer by Last name, Company name or Phone number.
To complete an invoice takes just seconds. In fact, you can even complete an invoice without touching the computer. It doesn't get
easier than that!!!
Should you need to edit a price (F6) , delete an item from the middle of an invoice (F5), or completely void an invoice (F4) - all you do is press a function key. The explanation is always right there. (All of those options can be password protected, in case you only want a manager to do it. Not only that - but the "End of Day" report will tell you all about Voids - we keep track of them so you can see who Edited a price and who Voided a sale.)
Average training time for a new operator is about 10 minutes.
The #1 rated Point-of-Sale Software...
In a major national competition, the MicroBiz Business Controller was selected "Easiest to Use, Install and Configure"
(Computer Reseller News). We beat a field of competitors including Armor Systems, Dac Easy, Infocorp and Synchronics!
The testing was conducted by an independent laboratory. Furthermore, in another software review - which included General
Store (Chrichlow Data), Keystroke (Specialized Business Solutions) and Sellwise (Cap Automation) - MicroBiz was declared
"the most complete POS solution of any software reviewed." And "...the undisputed leader in POS." (CPA Software News)
Custom Report Writer...
Both of these software products include a "report writer" that allows you to design your own reports and mailing labels. The possibilities are unlimited.
Sales History...
The software stores a history of every sale made and keeps it forever. You can review it at any time.
Services, Kits and Serialized Items...
MicroBiz can handle the sale of items that are in Kits (an example might be a package item that has 5, 10 or even 50 sub-components that that you would like to keep track of.) Or Services - like a "Service Visit" - which could be billed by the hour...or Serialized Items - such a major appliances like refrigerators or very expensive items that you want to keep track of by serial number (which can be scanned in!)
Sales Tax...
The software supports a number of different sales taxes, and can both taxable and nontaxable items. It even does Tax by Area for those parts of the country that require such reports.
Sales reports...
What are you selling? Where are your profits? Does every item in inventory make you the same amount of money? If your business is like most, the 80/20 rule applies. 80% of your profits come from 20% of the items. Find out which 20% is the most profitable, and which 20% is actually losing money for you.
Employee reports...
Which of your employees made the most gross profit for the business? Is it the same one who had the highest sales figures??? Maybe not. All employees are human beings and some produce more than others. Not all employees should be paid equally. Certainly your top performers expect higher rewards for their contribution. But, calculating commission reports by hand can make a grown man cry!
With a computer system, commission reports come out automatically.
Mailing labels...
Customer retention is an important part of your business. Regular mailings to customers assures your success. The software supports mailing labels in a variety of formats. You can choose customers to mail based on zip code, recency of purchase, highest purchases and even customers who have been in-active for a period of time. It is a known fact that it is six times more costly to get a new customer than to keep an old one. Why not do some mailings to past customers?
Inventory reports...
All kinds of inventory reports can be produced and they can be filtered by department, vendor and more. You can even print out inventory counting lists.
Accounts receivable*...
If you extend terms to your clients, you'll want the features we've built in. You can assign a credit limit to each customer (and password protect it to prevent anyone else from changing the limit). Each month you can automatically run statements and include finance charges. Account statements can be run on a laser printer on blank paper -or you can use preprinted forms on a laser or dot matrix printer. We've even included options such as the ability to suppress statements for clients with a balance below a certain amount - such as $10 or less.
* This feature is not included in the Easy Business Version.
