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.

But, calculating commission reports by hand can make a grown man cry!

With a computer system, commission reports come out automatically.

Mailing labels (Windows version shown)

Customer- retention is an important part of your business. Regular mailings to customers assures your success. The software supports mailing labels in 11 Variety of formats.

It is a known fact that it is six times more costly to i4et a new customer than to keel2 an old one. Why not do some mailings to past customers?
