And our software keeps on growing!

Given the way the software is growing, I may have to go to weekly reports rather than bi-monthly!  As I have mentioned before, the summer is a key period for B2H as the universities are going to start using the cashiering features for a full fall release.

    •    Enhanced reports:  When we released the online payment system for B2H, we developed our own reports. They work really well but we realized that we could use some flexibility and enhancements so this time around, for cashiering, we are using Crystal Reports.  This move is for two reasons:  First, it will simplify the formatting and display of the reports and seconds it will also facilitate the exchange of reports amongst our customers.
    •    Sections.  We are trying to bring the most flexibility possible in how customers define their sales items. First we added Sessions and now we have sections!  It actually greatly simplifies the management of sales items and makes it simpler for the end-users to figure what they want to purchase.
    •    Tiered-pricing has been slayed and in the midst of it, eligibility was also handled!  When we go into support mode for the cashiering system in August, I hope we find some time to create a small video on how tiered-pricing and eligibility work as it is a key feature of B2H.
    •    Head Cashiers can handle voids in a much cleaner and simpler way. Hopefully they don't get to use that too often since voids mean refunding money for a same day transaction!
    •    Speaking of cashiering, we added a few security layers to the hardware. It's actually a fun exercise as it leverages some of the work we are doing with the B2H API.  The API is also going to be an important element of B2H.  It will enable our customers to move data freely in and out of B2H.

What's coming up for us in the coming weeks?  Well, more reports, that's a given!  Some cool news about Pims are around the corner.  There is a trip to Chicago in the wings. Oh and a huge improvement on how waivers are managed!

Last but not least, our design group is keeping very busy. Not only have they done some subtle, yet awesome, changes to the main site (www.pyramedium.com), they are going to help an existing customer relaunch her website: Dog Gone Good Training is going to update its web presence!
