                          THE MAIL ORDER ACCOUNTANT
     
          "10 ways to improve your mail order/order fulfillment business..."

1. SPEED UP YOUR ORDER PROCESSING

Fast one-pass processing allows you to add new customers, edit existing customers and enter all
necessary order and shipping information including customer payments without exiting from the
order entry program. 

2. CUT YOUR MAILING COSTS

Bring mailing label production in-house, eliminate duplicate customer records, and target your
mailings to prospects with 9 different mailing label printing options.  The Mail Order
Accountant prints three different size pressure sensitive labels, and cheshire labels up to four
across.  

3. DECREASE SHIPPING PREPARATION TIME 

Speed your shipments out the door with batch printed invoices, shipping labels and United Parcel
Service (UPS) shipping manifests.  The invoice can eliminate an extra step by serving as a
shipping label when folded to fit a packing list envelope.  A single order can be split up nine
different parcels. 

4. REDUCE UPS PAPERWORK 

UPS computer generated shipping manifest for invoices entered that day cuts UPS preparation
time.  Shipping weights recorded in inventory are totalled during order entry and  UPS shipping
charges are calculated automatically based on the shipping method chosen.  

5. INCREASE YOUR SALES BY USE OF CREDIT CARDS

Customer payments may be entered during order processing or after shipment. Accepted
payment methods are check/cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, or
company defined card.  Batch printing of credit card vouchers eliminates hand preparation. 
Additional cash receipts report eases preparation of bank deposits and lists separate totals for 
cash/checks and each type of credit card. 


6. MAXIMIZE YOUR ADVERTISING/MARKETING DOLLAR

One of the secrets of effective marketing is to test one marketing source against another.  By
tracking response and purchase data, The Mail Order Accountant allows you to compare space
ads, classified ads, trade shows, mailings, catalogs, press releases, and salespersons to determine
the most effective use of your marketing dollar. 

7. PROFIT FROM YOUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES 

Increase your sales by extending credit to your customers.  Any invoice not paid in full
automatically creates an account receivable.  Don't buy an extra program to handle your
wholesale accounts, or pay extra for an accounts receivable option; it's all part of the package. 


8. MINIMIZE INVENTORY CARRYING COSTS

Prevent costly out-of-stock situations and minimize carrying costs by using reorder, back order
and valuation reports to track your inventory requirements.  Five different inventory price levels
allow you to utilize one inventory for retail, wholesale and distribution customers. 

9. SIMPLIFY ACCOUNTING AND BOOKKEEPING

Track your sales and accounting with reports that list gross sales, returns and allowances, cost
of goods sold, profit margins, bad debt write offs, accounts receivable aging, cash receipts, sales
discounts and sales tax due.  Sales tax reports can accommodate multiple sales tax rates within
one state.

10. ACCESS CUSTOMER INFORMATION QUICKLY  

Can't find a customer that you know is on file?  Enter a part of the customer or company name
to find the closest match and browse until you find the proper customer.  Access any customer,
no matter how large your file, in under 2 seconds.
