Save/Send Toolbar
 

The "Save/Send Toolbar" is offered as part of the Power Modules feature set. This amazing new tool allows you to Save and/or Send your Visual Ticket Reports in the following Industry Standard formats:

  • Microsoft Excel (for further Calculations or Charting). 
  • Microsoft Word (for creating Presentations / Documents). 
  • Rich Text Format - RTF. (format used by Microsoft WordPad). 
  • Adobe Acrobat PDF (Email Attachment / or use for Archival purposes). 
  • HTML - For display in a Website. 
  • Bitmap - For incorporation into Brochures or PhotoShop type projects.

Once you click on one of the "Output Buttons", the "Save/Send Toolbar" converts the Report into the target format and loads the application (Excel, Word, Explorer, …) in real time to display it (given the application has been installed on the computer) and you can then save it. All output files start with the Report name followed with a Date+Time Stamp and are placed in the c:\sms\output folder. This makes it extremely easy to save the file and prevents the files from being over-written.

Here are some of the real life benefits of this powerful feature.

  • Transmit Reports: The Boss is on vacation in Hawaii. At the end of the day, s/he gets an email with the day's entire Z-Report activity in a simple PDF Attachment.
  • Archiving: It is always prudent to print Archival copies of Daily Reports (such as the Z-Report or Sales Transactions), as well as Billing Statement / Invoices, so that they can be used as reference, when needed. With the "Save/.Send Toolbar", all such reports can be saved effortlessly with the proper time stamp, allowing for a lot faster Retrieval (than looking into folders and drawers in the backroom's file cabinets). 
  • Reduce Costs: All that printing ,of course costs money. You can save Paper, save Toner, and mostly importantly save Time. 
  • Customer Service: A few months ago, in order to resolve a Billing issue with a customer, you had to use the Micro Florist and print the History report, in order to fax it to the customer. Now, you can email the customer's entire "History Report" directly from Visual Ticket (as a PDF attachment), while the customer is still on the phone!. That is the level of customer service a VT user can provide. 
  • Marketing: Word of mouth alone can increase your Bridal Business, when the word gets around that you routinely create (or update) Wedding Worksheets and email them (as a PDF file attachment) to the Brides, immediately after you hang up the phone ! - Now, That is Service. You can also convert your "Customer Listing" into an Excel file for use by outside Marketing Agencies. 
  • Franchisees: All important "Business Indicator" reports (such as the Z-Report, Transaction or Billing reports), can be sent out (and be Archived at the destination) electronically. 
  • File Conversions: Whether it is your Accountant, your Lawyer, your Spouse !!, or the Delivery Pool, and no matter which applications they are running, transmitting Visual Ticket output is not only possible, but it is also very easy.
