Software for the businesses that keep things moving.
Our software is used by companies from gas stations and concrete companies to petroleum distributors and furniture stores — and everything in between. It runs on Unix or Windows, whichever you already have.
Two editions
Same system. Your hardware.
One set of order, pricing and invoicing logic, delivered two ways.
Terminal
Unix
Keyboard-driven from end to end. No mouse, no waiting on a redraw — an experienced order desk works faster here than anywhere else.
- InterfaceCharacter-cell terminal
- InputKeyboard, numbered actions
- Runs onExisting Unix servers
Desktop
Windows
The same logic as a full desktop application: toolbars, tabbed detail panes, and line items you can drag into the order you want them printed.
- InterfaceNative Windows desktop
- InputMouse, keyboard, drag & drop
- Runs onStandard Windows PCs
What it handles
The whole order, start to invoice.
Order entry
New orders in one screen
Customer, truck, delivery date and order type together, with line items added and reordered as you go.
Pricing & tax
Codes, districts, exemptions
Tax code and district resolved per order, with special tax lines where a customer or product needs them.
Fulfilment
Shipped, backordered, held
Quantity ordered against quantity shipped, with backorders tracked, rather than in someone’s head.
Delivery
Tickets and instructions
Delivery dates, will-call and truck assignment, plus per-order instructions that reach the driver.
Totals
Recalculated as you type
Subtotal, tax, discount and total price update on every change, so the number you quote is the number you bill.
Invoicing
Statements and PDFs
Invoice sales and statements out of the same records, printed or generated as PDFs for delivery by email.
