DBMS Accounting and Distribution modules are available with an SB+ option.

What that means is, certain aspects of the system have already been converted to take advantage of SB+ while we pursue the rewrite of the balance of our modules.

MENUS: All of the modules are available wrapped in SB+ menus. Our legacy menu drivers have been replaced by SB+ menu processes.

SALES ORDERS: Our new SB+ versions of Order Entry and Inquiry Capture also include new SB+ versions of inventory lookup and customer pricing processes. Your in-house salesman can lookup inventory, capture customer inquiries, price and/or take orders with practically no use of a keyboard. This is accomplished by using a mouse and pointing and clicking on choices from cascading selection windows. This "point and click" system can be accompanied by our customer dial in version. This more customer price specific "flavor" allows your customers to place their own orders from you using their own PC, SBTerm or SBTermite, and a mouse. No typing for them either!

Last, but not least, is an entity/contact database system that allows you to merge the functions of your rolodex and sales prospect tracking functions. This module allows you to record contacts with people and organizations, including dates and discussion notes, while allowing you to easily identify those entities for use as customers or vendors.

Development continues and new processes are deployed to our SB+ clients as they become available.
