As 2016 comes to a close, we take the time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the next 12 months. 2017 should bring a lot of excitement for Numbercruncher.com with our upcoming Client Retreat in February & the launch of Order Time, our Web based Inventory, Orders & Customer Management software. 

We are 39 days away from our First Client Retreat & the Retreat Hotel discounts end on January 6th! If you are planning on attending, and haven't reserved your hotel yet, please book it prior to January 6th. Recently we released our Retreat Agenda Topics & will be releasing a more detailed Agenda with times, during the first week of January, keep checking the Retreat Agenda page for the latest details.

Since we always get requests for new features, we decided as an added bonus for attending the Client Retreat, all attendees will be instrumental in helping Numbercruncher decide on our newest feature for All Orders!  

Numbercruncher is excited to announce 71lbs & GoToItSolutions as our Retreat Sponsors! 

Did you know that if your business ships via FedEx or UPS, you are entitled to refunds on all late shipments, invoice errors and lost or damaged packages? 71lbs will track down your shipping refunds that your business is entitled to, but probably don't know about, with zero effort on YOUR part! 

GoToItSolutions help you tap into software solutions customized specially for the needs of your business by combining their extended knowledge of consulting and IT. They do what they do best, so you can do what you do best!

Numbercruncher.com wishes all of our customers a Happy & Healthy New Years & Successful 2017!

Finally, Numbercruncher's CEO Ian Benoliel, would like to end 2016 with some parting words; "Here is what I learned in 2016. Two friends of mine, both under 50 years old, have been battling Cancer. Health issues are BIG problems, everything else are small problems. If you take that approach, you will find yourself enjoying life a lot more." 

Hey Crunchers, hope everyone had a successful October and is ready for the Holiday season! So our readers know, our blogs until the end of the year will be more condensed, as we finish development on our newest product, Order Time.

Although we are focused on finishing & releasing Order Time, one thing we are committed too is not letting our support or development on All Orders slip. This is evident by our upcoming release of All Orders version 6.2.7. The newest release adds 15 new features & fixes some common issues (i.e. Duplicate item error when trying to reconcile QuickBooks to All Orders.) Please visit our known issues section of our support page to view the full list of Added & Fixed Features of 6.2.7.

One new feature area I would like to highlight briefly has to do with Packages. With All Orders, you can now create Packages & Boxes and can specify what items go into each Package/Box. In order to use this new feature, you need to manually turn it on by going to Preferences --> Shipping --> Company Preferences --> Package. After turning the preference on, you now have the ability to:

• Create (either Automatically or Manually generated) & Print UCC's (Uniform Commercial Codes)
• After inserting Items on your Ship Doc, you can click on the Package Button & Create Packages for Shipment
• You can create Default Weight Properties for Package Types & Create Tracking Numbers
• Once the Packages are created, you can create & view a Package Manifest that shows the breakdown of quantities
• Integrate your shipping with FedEx & UPS

Just a quick reminder that TODAY is the final day to get discounted registration for the Numbercruncher Client Retreat! Use code NC17 to save at checkout until 11:59pm TONIGHT (10/31)! The Client Retreat will be held February 6th through 9th in Dania Beach, Florida and will cover topics on All Orders, All Orders Web, All Orders Mobile, Integration Options, Business Cycles, Inventory Primer, Reports & More! The Retreat is the perfect opportunity to learn everything you ever wanted to know about current & future Numbercruncher products, as well as, the perfect opportunity to escape the harsh winters of up north!

Hey Everyone! Hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for another busy work week! I know the NumberCruncher blog has been on a bit of a hiatus the last couple of weeks, but we're back and ready to Crunch through these long hot South Florida summer days. During these summer months our Support Team has been hard at work answering our current clients questions and helping setup All Orders by NumberCruncher on new client's networks. The grind never seems to slow down at our offices, especially during summer, when companies are reevaluating their current Inventory Management software and are deciding if its up-to-par or if their needs are not being met or satisfied. If your company is in the midst of reevaluating your software, please remember that NumberCruncher provides all prospective clients with an hour-long demo to make sure our software is a perfect fit, as well as, a 30-day no commitment FULL software trial before you decide to buy. We don't want your company buying our software, if it isn't the ideal fit for your business. To Learn more about ALL ORDERS please click HERE or give us a call at 866-278-6243 TODAY!

Recently, All Orders by NumberCruncher got featured on a number of websites. To begin the month, Financesonline.com wrote a review and named ALL ORDERS as one of their Rising Stars for 2016. Finances Online also recognized All Orders with their Great User Experience Certificate & Award. 

NumberCruncher.com would like to thank Financesonline.com for recognizing us and writing a review on All Orders. Finances Online is the fastest growing independent review platform for B2B, SaaS and Financial Solutions.  

Also this month, Scott Gregory of Better Bottom Line: the QuickBooks Expert, included NumberCruncher in his "Can QuickBooks Handle My Inventory?" guide. Scott is a certified QuickBooks Expert who has worked with QuickBooks software for 15+ years and knows a thing or two about QuickBooks add-on solutions. For him to feature NumberCruncher is his guide, is a big deal to us!
