Manager/Manager plus Version 5.7 also features a dynamic referral field that makes it easier to record data on-the-fly and a new Customer List that makes it easy to find and associate a ‘friend.’

More customer information is readily available in direct view via Snapshop – which now includes ready access to customers’ e-mail addresses, birthdays, remarks and referral information.

A source field tracks media that brings customers into the shop, providing validation of media buys for future marketing plans.
