NEED
Our client had identified a market within the floral
industry for automatic, computer generated reminder messages. The
industry needed a fast, low-cost software package that could generate
post cards automatically to remind customers of upcoming events.
The software had to be capable of tracking thousands of
clients nationwide. In addition, it had to handle a wide variety of
clients, special occasions for reminders, and automatically order and
bill selected clients for services.
SOLUTION
Mitsi developed a Dbase-compatible database system using
a PC-based compiler. The software had many menus for prompting the
florist for information about the potential client, their relatives,
secretaries, and others. Special data entry screens were developed with
pop-up windows that prompted for necessary information.
Many custom reports were written to print the post cards
automatically. In addition, reports were made to order merchandise, bill
clients, and bill major credit cards. Software was written to handle
specific customer referrals. Wire transfers also created unique billing
problems that were handled in software.
