SCOOPS! January, 2011

Now that the holidays are behind us, we hope they were pleasant and that this new year we have plunged into will be a prospersous, healthy & happy one for all of us!

Aviar New Year's Resolution - 2011

Continue to try to meet the needs of our customers - providing the best Software & Support at an affordable price.

Oz, the Virtual

What have we been up to? Well, we haven't been sitting idle. Even though our turnkey system is becoming more and more accepted, people are still asking for "just software that will run on my Windows computer". Sooo, we now offer software that will run on not only your Windows computer, but also your Linux computer and your Mac machine.

Ok, where does Oz stand?

1. You can run Oz on your own computer.
2. You can submit Oz work requests/orders through your network or the internet without purchasing client licenses for multiple users.
3. Oz Web/Intranet access gives you greater access to data, but restricts changes that might cause security problems.
4. Scheduling, One-time/emergency work orders - Open/Active & History, Inventory/Parts, Labor, Tools, Vendors, Purchasing -- all integrated.
5. Easily generated reports in .csv/spreadsheet and .html format as well as text that can be sent via intranet or the web.
6. Graphs & charts, including Pareto to analyze your data.
7. We can convert your data.
8. Oz Support is still only $395/year.
9. We offer training at reasonable rates.
10. We have a proven record of top-notch systems and support.
11. Oz is now more versatile than ever and more affordable too.

If you have been one of those waiting for the day when Oz could be put on your own computer, that day has come.

To Oz Turnkey Users:

If your computer dies, this might be an attractive alternative solution to consider.

Oz tip:

You'll be surprised at how much time you can save merely by filling in the "estimated" fields in the schedule for labor and parts. If you know who will be completing the work and/or the parts that will be needed, why not add them in the "schedule"; then all you have to do when you complete your work orders is enter the time worked and the number of the parts used. The estimated time does not show up on the Work Order when it is printed, but it is available for the scheduler to use for work load balancing - another reason to use the 'estimate" fields.

OOPS! Support Policy

We have decided that we will no longer offer a yearly flat fee support option for OOPS! for anyone who does not have current support. If you are still using OOPS! and need support, please contact us for pricing.
