Great new features:
MADE
FOR MAC OS X Clients & Profits X 10.2 is
a universal binary application, so it's optimized for the
Mac OS X Leopard and Intel Core Duo-based iMac, Mac Pro, and MacBook yet still
works on your existing Macs. With its
blazing new speed, reports print faster than ever before.
And It's still the only ad agency management system with
a real Mac OS X user interface.
MADE
FOR WINDOWS VISTA Clients & Profits
X is the only agency management system design as a real Windows Vista application that also is fully cross-platform compatible with the shop's Mac users. This means creatives get the Macs they want and the business people can keep the PCs they trust.
MADE
FOR WEB Clients & Profits
X 10.2 is a hybrid system that blends the best of a desktop user experience with the accessibiity of a web site. Clients & Profits X's built-in web server offers in-house and outside staff members a web-based creative dashboard at no extra cost. And the optional My Clients & Profits! X web server offers access to proposals, creative briefs, job tickets, estimates, schedules, traffic, change orders, job costs, billings, and more.
MySQL
5.0
& SQL SERVER
EXPRESS 2005* Clients & Profits Pro X 10.2 and Job Tracker 10.2 fully support the free versions of MySQL 5.0 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition . Now you can use these industry-standard, industrial-stength back-end databases to manage your clients, jobs, costs, and billings without expensive license fees and support contracts. And since MySQL 5 runs on the Apple XServe, your shop can now be 100% Mac OS X.
CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS An
intelligent new credit card manager
makes tracking purchases made on the shop's VISA, MasterCard, or American Express quick, easy and simple. Vendor invoices can now be paid by credit card when they are added into Clients & Profits, then cleared off automatically when credit card statements are entered every month. Clients & Profits X 10.2 remembers all of your credit card purchases for the month and displays them for you when you add the statement. Just add the new purchases from the statement then go ... the statement and its purchases are self-reconciled automatically.
ONLINE PAYMENTS Since vendors can now be paid directly from your bank's web site, getting those payments into Clients & Profits wasn't easy. Now, it's a snap. Online payments can now be recorded just like a conventional check, when they happen or from the bank statement.
WEB-BASED CREATIVE DASHBOARD The old web-based time card is now a creative dashboard. It's a web time card on steroids: instead of just tracking time, the dashboard shows your job hot sheet, your task deadlines, and your daily time card. Staff members can now stay informed anywhere they work, anytime they want.
IPHONE
TIME CARD When you access the C&P X 10.2 web time card from an iPhone, you'll see something different: instead of a regular web page, you'll see a time card designed especially for the iPhone user interface. It's now easy to track your time anywhere, anytime right from your iPhone. The iPhone time card makes it easy: just choose your job and task from scrolling lists (there's nothing to memorize!), enter your hours, then type in a description -- that's it. The hours you enter are instantly saved into your shop's database back at the office.
WHO'S
CONNECTED The new Who's Connected window lets system managers monitor who's currently using Clients & Profits X in real-time. For each user you'll see the his or her IP address, last login date and time, and the last activity the user did. System managers can send users email alerts or messages easily, as well as remotely log off selected users.
Don't forget these cool features found in Clients & Profits X 10.1:
APPROVAL MANAGER* A
smart new approval manager
simplifies and automates
the entire approval process for jobs, artwork and content,
estimates and schedules, purchase and insertion orders,
media plans and estimates, vendor invoices, and client
billings. Anyone can add approval requests, which can
be approved in real-time in Clients & Profits
X 10.2. Every step in
the approval process is communicated via e-mail for better
accountability.
VENDOR PRINTING RFQs WITH AUTOMATIC ORDERING The
printing specifications process
has been completely modernized for today's print projects.
Adding a print spec is now fast and easy and completely
customizable. It features an automated request for
quotation (RFQ) system that e-mails quote requests to up
to three vendors, tracks their bids, then electronically
notifies the winning bidder. It even
creates the purchase order automatically.
RECURRING BILLING* Job
billings for routine monthly charges like retainers, web
hosting, account management fees, and more can now be scheduled
for up to a year in advance, then are added automatically
into Accounts Receivable as unposted invoices.
CREATIVE DASHBOARD Inspired
by the popular Clients & Profits ASAP (our web-based studio
manager) home page, the Creative Dashboard combines a staff member's
daily time card, the day's task deadlines, and job hot sheet into
a single window. The dashboard can be set to open automatically
instead of the Information Center.
JOB SCHEDULE REVISION TRACKING* Like estimates, prior revisions to a job schedule can be saved and recalled later as needed. A past revision can be made current, replacing the existing schedule with one click. Every job can have an unlimited number of schedule revisions.
EXPENSE REPORT PAYABLES* If a staff member is added as a vendor, their expense reports can automatically be added as an accounts payable invoice to be paid on the next check run, instead of cutting a check separately at the time the expense is added.
SALES COMMISSIONS* The
painful process of tracking and calculating sales commissions for
AEs and business developement execs is now completely automated.
Commission rates are based on job type and can be a percentage
or flat-rate spiff. Individual tasks can be made commissionable,
which C&P X uses to calculate commissions. A/R reports show commissions
for AE, invoice by invoice. An option is available to only pay
commissions based on paid invoices.
