Service businesses cut costs using EasyRoute
Plus
-- CompuNews reseller magazine, February 1995
Until now, if a service business wanted to keep track of scheduled jobs, routes, invoices, bills, customer accounts, and manage marketing or labor analysis, it had to maintain a separate costly system for each task.
To solve this problem, Genesis A New Era announced the release of version 6.0 of its service business oriented software called EasyRoute Plus, an exiting new customer account management program specifically designed for service businesses.
EasyRoute Plus integrates dispatching, routing, invoicing, billing, customer accounting, marketing, and sales or labor analysis into one easy-to-use package.
Unlike most software, it does not require any accounting or computer experience to operate, meaning that even a temp can immediately use the program. More than 90% of users surveyed said they'd never even opened the manual.
What makes EasyRoute Plus even more appealing is its ability to act in a real-time environment, allowing users to access and change customer profiles and transactions for each work-site as the status in the field changes. This is important to service businesses because they need to see current information to be able to make important decisions.
For example, when a customer calls in to order service, the job needs to be dispatched according to location and current workload. If the distance between stops can be minimized, more work can be accomplished.
Another example is when a customer asks for information about their account. If the information is both accessible and up to date, it greatly simplifies the account manager's job.
EasyRoute Plus can integrate many of the fragmented systems service businesses use to keep track of things. For example, it will print daily work reports or invoices for each scheduled appointment, worker, or job. It can print bills, invoices, or statements, and track accounts receivable and inventory.
The program produces flexible accounting, gross payroll, sales,
labor,
and inventory reports, prints labels based on customer location or
transaction
history criteria (or the lack of specific transactions), and provides
excellent
telemarketing support. Users can create and store documents, proposals,
personal letters, price lists, and forms using a simple built-in word
processor,
or direct the feature to run your favorite word processor or
application
using EasyRoute Plus as a shell.
How the program works
EasyRoute Plus sports context-sensitive help, and learns each user's preferences by continually adjusting its configuration files to match the user's preferences. It's one slick, powerful tool that no service business should be without.
EasyRoute Plus is PC based, and comes with 90 days free support from the developer. It is available in both single and multi user models.
