User Group Meeting

Peartree hosted a User Group meeting on Wednesday, May 25th.

The User Group Steering Committee created the following Top Five List: 

  • Major rewrite to bar code label generation and label creation to allow users to design new label types per customer specification. Currently, users find this task too time consuming.

  • Improvements to incoming EDI release reporting.

  • Event driven email/warning report that an order has changed for the current day when new EDI/Order Entry orders are received and processed witihn Peartree.

  • Improvements to Material Releases (Purchasing) screen, and make it more like the new Auto/Order Entry screen.

  • Improvements to Vendor Returns / Affecting Cums or not.

 Don't Be Left Sweating: Backup Your System Data

In today's high-tech industry, information is one of the most valuable commodities around as businesses rely heavily on computer-stored data for daily productivity, record-keeping, and communications.  Your company's system is an integral resource, but a fragile one which can unexpectedly face serious problems.

Why take needless risks with such a valuable element of your business?  Ken Breithaupt, Peartree's Manager of Software Support, recommends conducting simple backups of your system on a regular basis. This will provide a safety net for your data, ensuring that a recent rebuilding point is always available when needed. 

Having recent data backups also helps Peartree Software support staff quickly get your business back on track if your hardware takes a turn for the worse.  In addition to backing up your system, you must also do a restore to a test account, in order to ensure that the backup is useable. 

Don't gamble with your company's future - backup your system on a regular basis.

If your business is lacking a comprehensive data backup/recovery or disaster recovery program, contact Ken Breithaupt at support@ptsoft.com for more information on protecting your important resources.
