AnyOrder! is a Windows based software program designed specifically for small mail order businesses--or any business that needs to process orders whether received by phone, mail or email. Simple and easy to use, it prepares invoices, does billings, generates sales reports, handles returns, keeps track of inventory, records customer payments, tracks consigned items, and creates customer mailing lists.
It has a comprehensive help system-- it works well, and it gets the job done. If you have a business in which you must process orders, you'll find it just the sort of thing that you've been waiting for. And, even better yet, you don't have a degree in accounting to understand how to use it!
AnyOrder is a new approach to business software. It is based on 7 years of research and development, and is designed specifically for folks that are looking for a simple and straightforward way of operating their business.
AnyOrder Classic Advanced is the top of the line of award winning software for small and self-publishers.
Features include:
Invoicing: AnyOrder! Software will produce neatly printed invoices and packing slips. It has a feature which automatically enters products and customer addresses, saving you typing time. It handles returns and adjusts your inventory accordingly.
Billing: The program has a sophisticated billing engine which generates monthly billing statements and allows you keep track of customer payments. It is also includes a Payment Analysis feature which provides you with an alternative way of reviewing a customer's account.
Inventory: At any time, you can obtain up-to-date information on how many books are left in inventory.
Consigned Books: If you consign books to stores, or work with a distributor or wholesaler on a consignment basis, AnyOrder! Software will help you keep track of consignment inventories, sales and returns.
Sales Information: AnyOrder! will produce weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales reports.
Sales Tax: If you make sales which are subject to local or state sales taxes, AnyOrder will add the appropriate amount of tax to invoices and supply you with the necessary information to fill out state sales tax reports.
Mailing Lists: The program will create mailing lists which can be imported into nearly all word processing and labeling programs for generating mailing labels or producing mail-merged letters.
In addition, AnyOrder Classic Advanced has an integrated customer contact manager, email and browser capabilities, a weight calculator for orders, and export feature for exporting invoice, sales and credit card data.
It includes credit card processing, batch printing, ability to attach invoices and statements to email messages, telephony features including two separate phone dialers (a basic and advanced version), invoice to HTML conversion, extensive export and import functions, currency conversation, extra emailing functions, and one of the easiest-to-use royalty accounting systems in the industry.
The Advanced Edition includes an email export feature which allows you to attach a copy of the invoice to an email message. Attachments can be text, Microsoft Word, or an HTML web document. You can also place the entire invoice into the clipboard and move it into an email or word processing program.
Among the Advanced Edition's telephony features, you can click on a button on the Main Invoice Screen or within the Customer Contact Manager and your computer will dial the phone number. You can have the phone dialer key-in the individual's extension or menu choice numbers automatically for you. If you need to call FedEx (or another shipper) to pick up a package, the phone dialer will even input your account number.
It includes batch printing routines for invoices and statements. Instead of printing each invoice (or billing statement) individually, you can select from a list and the program will print all selected invoices or statements at once, freeing you to do other things.
The Advanced Version includes new and versatile import and export functions. The two functions allow you to move information to and from databases, spreadsheets, accounting programs, and word processing programs. One of the nice features of the functions is that you can select which fields you want exported or imported and where the information should be placed.
Other advanced features include a currency conversion function. The conversion dialog box allows you to establish exchange rates for those countries with which you do business. Once the rates are established, you can choose a currency from the list, and the invoice will be converted into the appropriate values of the new currency. When printed, the invoice will also include the appropriate ISO country code of the currency. Moreover, AnyOrder will internally remember the original values of the invoice, and when desired you can convert the invoice back to your base currency.
Other integrated email functions include the ability to start youremail program and insert the billing name or shipping name into the "to" blank. You can also pick from a series of form letters that you've prepared in advance, and via the clipboard, insert the desired letter in your email message.
The royalty accounting feature is an entire software program in itself, fully integrated so it works seamlessly with AnyOrder and AnyOrder's data files. This portion of the program provides a wide range of options. Royalties can be based on cash or accrual accounting. They can be calculated on a percentage of the retail price, net sales, or a flat amount. Royalties can also be set up to change depending on the quantity of books sold and/or depending on the discount at which books are sold. Over 235 different royalty combinations are available for nearly any royalty arrangement.
A special and innovative royalty statement function is available to record and track advances, royalties owed, subsidiary rights, and payments. The neatly printed reports generated by the program provide you and your authors and photographers with all the important accounting details. When you are ready to mail printed royalty reports, they are designed so that they can be folded and inserted in a windowed business envelope.
The Advanced version also includes credit card processing features. The credit card processing portion of the program can be used if you have a small volume of cards--two to five cards a day--and you have signed up for voice or touch tone processing with your bank. Note that if you don't use voice or touch tone processing or if you have a higher card volume, you'll want to use third party credit card processing software. To do so, AnyBook has a credit card export feature which allows you to export card information to third party software such as PCAuthorize and others.
