The AnyOrder Professional Series is the result of years of research and development and is made up of the premier versions of AnyOrder.  Currently, the Professional Series consists of seven editions:  Levels 1 through 7.  Each higher level provides more options and a larger range of features.  Professional Series programs are designed specifically for newer operating systems.  All new development and enhancements occur with the Professional Series.

All AnyOrder versions are compatible.  You can move from Level 1 to Level 2, or Level 3 to Level 7, or even from the old AnyOrder Classic versions to Level 7.  The program will automatically convert data files to the new version.  AnyOrder's built in compatibility provides you with the assurance that as your company grows, AnyOrder can grow with you.  You can upgrade from one version to another and not lose valuable customer data that you've built up over the years.

The Professional Series currently consists of seven levels.  The following provides details on each:

Professional Level 1. The Professional Level 1 Edition is a comprehensive invoicing program, designed for small businesses.

Features. The Professional Level 1 program generates invoices, handles returns, produces sales reports, records customer payments, and creates customer mailing lists.  It has the ability to apply discounts to products individually or all together.  Included among its features are polished and refined pop-ups to find and paste customers, products or customer numbers.   You can copy a customer name and address from an email message or a word document and paste the whole works to an invoice.  You can also add personal notes to an invoice. The program includes AnyOrder's innovative system of marking invoices paid which makes it easy to readily locate unpaid invoices. And it will produce sales and sales tax reports.

Registration Cost. Special Reduced Registration Costs: $9.50. Registration for a network enabled program (no workstation limit) is $19.50  (* See networking information below)

Professional Level 2. The Professional Level 2 Edition includes all of the invoicing features found in Level 1 plus the following:

Billing Engine. The program includes a comprehensive billing engine which will create billing statements for each of your customers. Statements include a list of all invoice activity along with a notation of which invoices have not been paid.  Balance due is broken down by age (older than 30, 60 or 90 days).  The statements can be viewed on the screen or they can be printed and sent to customers.

Inventory Engine. The program will keep track of your inventory and provide data on how many items remain at any given time.  Individual product reports can be printed.  A summary of all inventory activity can also be printed which is very handy when tax time comes around.  Inventory reports also include information on consigned items.  This helps you track products placed on consignment, or products warehoused by distributors who do not pay until items are sold.

Advanced Search. Advanced search broadens your ability to locate invoices and customers.  It enables you to search the contents of any field on the Main Invoice Screen.

Back Order Processing. The Level 2 program has the ability to find back-ordered products and create new invoices when items are back in stock and ready to ship.

Invoice Graphics. If desired, you can add logos or other graphics to printed invoices and statements.

Deposit and Payment Reports. Among other features, the Level 2 Edition will also create a Deposit and Payment report which can be used to prepare bank deposits.

Registration Cost. Special Reduced Registration Costs: $19.50.  Registration for a network enabled program (no workstation limit) is $29.50.  (* See networking information below)

Professional Level 3. The Level 3 Edition includes all of the features of Level I and II programs plus a simple touch-tone credit card processing module, telephony features, and extensive import and export routines.

Telephony Features. Included in the Level 3 program are two separate phone dialers (a basic and advanced version) which allows you to make calls from the AnyOrder program.  You can click on a button on the Main Invoice Screen or within the Customer Contact Manager and your computer will dial the phone number.  You can have the phone dialer key-in the individual's extension or menu choice numbers automatically for you.  If you need to call FedEx (or another shipper) to pick up a package, the phone dialer will even input your account number.

Credit Card Processing. The Level 3 program includes a touch-tone credit card processing module.  This is a practical and easy way to process credit cards.  It's most useful if you have a small volume of cards - two to five cards a day - and you have signed up for voice or touch tone processing with your bank or card processor.  Note that if you don't use voice or touch tone processing or if you have a higher card volume, you'll want to use AnyOrder Gateway processing module, available on Level 4 programs or greater.  For more information, see Credit Card Processing.

Batch Printing. Instead of printing each invoice (or billing statement) individually, Batch Printing allows you to select from a list, and AnyOrder will print all selected invoices or statements at once, freeing you to do other things.

Export and Import Functions. This edition includes new and versatile import and export functions.  The two functions allow you to move information to and from databases, spreadsheets, accounting programs, and word processing programs.  One of the nice features of these features is that you can select which fields you want exported or imported and where the information should be placed. You can set up profiles which remember which this information so that you don't have to set it again the next time you import or export.

Currency Conversion. The currency conversion feature allows you to establish exchange rates for those countries with which you do business.  Once the rates are established, you can choose a currency from the list, and the invoice will be converted into the appropriate values of the new currency. When printed, the invoice will also include the appropriate ISO country code of the currency.  Moreover, AnyOrder will internally remember the original values of the invoice, and when desired you can convert the invoice back to your base currency.

Works with External Email Programs. If you use a client email program such as Outlook or Thunderbird, the program will start your email program and insert the billing name or shipping name into the "to" blank.  You can also pick from a series of form letters that you've prepared in advance, and via the clipboard, insert the desired letter in your email message.  (Note that a full blown, Internal email program is built in the Level 7 program.)

Registration Cost. Special Reduced Registration Costs: $29.50.  Registration for a network enabled program (no workstation limit) is $39.50.  (* See networking information below)

Professional Level 4. The Level 4 Edition includes all of the features of Level 1, 2 and 3 programs plus on-line shipment features, more than a dozen new reports, sales commissions support, pricing levels for products, variable tax support, an extensive royalty accounting module, and a comprehensive purchase order system that is nearly as large as the core portion AnyOrder.

Royalty Accounting. The royalty accounting feature is an entire software program in itself, fully integrated so it works seamlessly with AnyOrder's data files.  This portion of the program provides a wide range of options.  Royalties can be based on cash or accrual accounting.   They can be calculated on a percentage of the retail price, net sales, or a flat amount.  Royalties can also be set up to change depending on the quantity of products sold and/or depending on the discount at which products are sold.  Over 235 different royalty combinations are available for nearly any royalty arrangement.  The neatly printed reports generated by the program provide you and your royalty holders with all the important accounting details.  When you are ready to mail printed royalty reports, they are designed so that they can be folded and inserted in a windowed business envelope.

More. UPS Worldship support, larger, roomier screen displays, new export options, new colors, and enhancements throughout the program.

Plus . . . A Comprehensive Purchase Order System (AnyPO). The Level 4 program includes a comprehensive purchase order system called AnyPO.  AnyPO is sold separately for $219 but is included as a part of the AnyOrder package.  It is an extensive program, rivaling the top PO programs on the market, and is nearly as large as the core portion AnyOrder.  It includes multiple filter options, advanced search, batch printing, email export, currency conversion, multi-line descriptions, ability to process backorders and drop shipments, an inventory mode to track items received, and a feature to automatically update your inventory.

You can still create mailing lists (and now with Level 7, even do bulk emailing), and you can still access invoices from different workstations on the network. What this accomplishes is that it gives you small and clean data files to work with on a daily basis when you run the main AnyOrder program. This is particularly handy for networked programs when you have large databases. You can keep your main AnyOrder program working quickly and efficiently.

Email (Snail Mail) Lists.  The new Rover also can be set-up for different mailing lists.  A different Rover Module is set-up for each of your mailing lists. Rover will remember the last mailing and add any new names and addresses or emails, and presto, you're all set to send out the latest mailing.

Registration Cost. Special Reduced Registration Costs: $69.50.  Registration for a network enabled program which includes the Rover Module is $79.50.  (* See networking information below)

Networking Information. All seven editions of AnyOrder can be purchased as "Network Enabled" programs.  Network enabled versions are for light to moderate networking purposes and are only $10 more than the single user cost.  Additionally, you are not charged a per workstation fee.

AnyOrder's networked versions can be used on a number of different workstations (up to ten or twelve).  Different users may work on the program at the same time, but there are a few processes which can not be carried out simultaneously.  For example, only person at a time can do batch printing, and only one person at a time can run billing statements.

AnyOrder's networking features become more sophisticated with the Levels 4 through 7.  These programs use network logging to keep track of processes undertaken by other users.  They also include a "local" mode which allows you to remove yourself from the network to run network intensive processes that might slow down other users working on the network at the same time.  The Levels 4 through 7 programs are also designed for light or moderate networking purposes, but the more advanced networking capabilities of the programs provide for a better controlled network environment.  They are the best choice when it is common to have two or more users on the network at the same time.

Version Upgrades and Benefits to Registered Users. Each of the Professional editions of AnyOrder are upgraded on a regular basis.  Registered users are entitled to a number of benefits including free upgrades within the same version number.  For example if you have registered AnyOrder Level 4 (Version 14), you would be eligible for free upgrades for such versions as Version 14.1, Version 14.4, Version 14.5, etc.  When full version upgrades become available, registered users can upgrade to the next higher version number.   Registered users may also upgrade from one level to another at a discounted price.
