As a strongware user, you know that SCHULTE is constantly adding innovations to the software to make it a more efficient and powerful tool for you. There were several key improvements we made during the first quarter this year, including:
* Replaced obsolete Classica corner installation with new panel method. The old method involved a cumbersome Radius Corner Support. Whereas the new method of installation only requires a redesigned panel attached to the wall to hold the Radius Corner Shelf.
* Created a more useful shaded view in the Work Order. The original shaded was not consistently easy to view, so we improved it to bring the drawing up at a new angle.
* Added a Combined Parts/Price List. The software now automatically combines all of the parts from all of the selected drawings in a work order to one Combined Parts/Price list, which is an easier way to quote.
* Created a way to import designs into a Work Order. Users can now easily import closet drawings from previous designs into a current Work Order, therefore reducing time designing multiple and/or duplicate closets
* Revamped the Edit Product Finish view so it is easier to find the product. The old Edit>Product Finish bunched up the product finishes and made it hard to discern which finish went with which product category. The new method is easier to understand and make a finish choice.
* Created an automatic and intuitive path to save strongware Files on the user's hard drive. Creates a Folder in My Documents to store all strongware Files. Although, the software remembers what folder you were last in so that you do not have to use that specified folder if you already have a filing system in place.
* Developed the Work Order process to be used with Lifetime Ventilated and Classica designs. This new feature makes the software an even more useful selling tool.
* Added a form for a dealer to input their company name and information as well as their customer's information. This update makes the software more personalized and gives the homeowner more ownership in the information.
To continue to offer the most innovative software in the industry, we want to receive your feedback. Send it directly to me at ebusche@schultestorage.com or 513.277.3721.
