Londonderry, N.H. -- August 3, 1992 -- Profile Technologies, Inc., of Londonderry, New Hampshire, announced the immediate availability of INFOtrac 2.0 Sales + Contact Management software for sales people. Since its introduction, INFOtrac has been used by companies like Toshiba, Digital Equipment Corp. Canada, Moore Business Forms, Roland, Cash Express to create marketing databases, automate sales and contact management activities, more efficiently sell and service present accounts and target new customers. Sales organizations of all sizes, from independent reps to multi-location and mobile sales forces can utilize INFOtrac to create a SALES AND MARKETING INFORMATION SYSTEM for PC based sales automation instead of using an internal database, generic PIM or contact manager which only manage contacts. Version 2.0 includes many improvements to enhance performance and ease of use. Several were suggested by present users. Menus are more SAA/CUA compliant, with each menu choice activated by pressing it's first letter. INFOtrac WAS RECENTLY RATED FASTER AND EASIER TO USE THAN ACT, by Computing Canada. "Infotrac is a tad easier than Act, frequently requiring fewer keystrokes... Infotrac is the fastest-particularly once you have built up a large database of contacts." This new version includes IMPROVED SALES FORECASTING by account for unlimited products by value and probability over the sales cycle which can be custom defined up to 12 steps. Also added is a comprehensive ORDER ENTRY MODULE which prints quotes, invoices, sales orders, packing slips and can operate stand alone or integrate with CAI's AccPac Plus accounting software, with support planned for other major accounting packages. Order Entry handles multiple classes and discount levels for each item, generates control numbers for orders and quotes, supports multiple tax codes and shipping charges, and tracks order status. When integrating to an external accounting system, general ledger accounts are updated and new customers created in accounts receivable automatically. With detailed online sales history info now available, SALES REPORTING has also been enhanced. Sales, Forecasting and Profitability Reports can be produced by virtually unlimited criteria. Nine new standard profitability and sales reports are included along with sales forecasting by rep, total, orders sure to close, forecasts greater than X dollars, product type. The main screen now contains sales history fields, automatically updated, showing last purchase, YTD sales, total forecast, and 5 user customizable fields, which can be defined as text, numeric, date with pop-up calendar, or pop-up selection list. The user programs feature now allows each user to shell out to their programs or DOS from INFOtrac, in addition to shelling out to their word processor. Additional VAR or user developed screens of custom fields or third party CUSTOMIZED MODULES can also be accessed. Unlimited custom label formats can be created from included formats for laser printer and dot matrix labels by entering label location, frequency, size and shape. Sales info is now included as filter criteria giving users more choices when selecting multiple sort categories for reports and functions. The selected records can now be captured to allow scrolling through these records individually while performing program functions, like exporting groups of records, or mailing to groups that meet these criteria in batch mode. Contacts can be designated whether they are included in mailings, and records can now be replicated, making it easier to enter records with common data. MULTILEVEL SECURITY has been extended to include control of access and editing capabilities to program features by each user or only by the system administrator. CUSTOMER LISTS CAN BE PROTECTED by controlling access to data transfer, report printing, viewing of just their own or other user's records.
