Busy Month for ARS

A message from David Kroutil, CEO of Advantage Route Systems

August has been a big month for the busy bees at ARS. We have been working on several major projects and now that the month is winding down, we are winding up to get these hot new things to you! Here is a quick summary of some of the key points:

All new version 5.0.3 to be released on September 2. This has been an ongoing project all summer with some major things added to help you run your business smarter. Suggestions from many of you have been key in putting this new release together. You can download it starting on September 2 from the ARS247.com web site.

One of the key points to the new version is a major item in the credit card world called PCI compliance. In my next newsletter, we will be addressing this exclusively. PCI compliance affects the way you store credit card data and there are major changes in store. You may have already received a letter from your bank or credit card processor about this topic and we want you to know what we are doing about it for you.

We have been ‘souping up’ our real time communications process for the handhelds. We hear that more and more of you are wanting this capability.

A new comparison sales report. This is a lot like the sales detail report, but you can choose up to 3 periods to see how one date range stacks up to another.

I hope everyone has a successful September!

David Kroutil

  • Crisp Thermal Output
  • Built-in Paper Roll Holder
  • Long Lasting Battery
  • Bluetooth® Interface
  • Optional Credit Card Reader
  • These printers are affordably priced at only $199 for the 2 inch format and $299 for a 3 inch paper width. An optional magnetic stripe reader allows you to swipe credit cards and communicate to your handheld. This option, available for either unit, is an additional $50.

    Mango Geo 2.0

    In September, we plan to release a new version of MangoGeo. This is our proprietary geocoding and address correction software that can help you get perfect addresses for deliveries. It really helps if you are using MangoPilot or Advanced Mapping.

    We have also been adding to the capabilities so you can correct your sales tax locations, as well. If you charge sales tax on many products, then this is really important so that you not only know where your customers are located, but the proper rates to charge as well. Especially if you work in multiple states, this is a ‘must have’ service. It is affordable and the small monthly fee pales in comparison to paying out during a tax audit because you have bad data and reported wrong amounts.

    So, keep watching for this in the next couple of weeks. We are going through final testing now to assure you that it works perfect – right out of the box!

    New Web Site for Advantage Route Systems

    This month we have been working hard on creating a new web site that will be more user friendly to our customers and prospects. You will now be able to easily navigate the web site by simply clicking on heading tabs to take you directly where you need to go. The new web site will be up and running on September 3, 2010. Make sure you visit www.AdvantageRS.com to view all the new features.
