Foundation 3000 is a unified business solution. It includes accounting, EDI, E-commerce and many other features found only in other high-end solutions purchased at great expense. It’s a new breed of software that we call a Business Operating System.

General features include:

• Quick, convenient Web catalogue creation and maintenance for on-line commerce. Review in-house pricing, descriptions and images for items selected for on-line display, add sales blurbs and special Internet pricing if desired, preview your Web pages and then with one click your Web site is updated! On-line Sales Orders can then be automatically downloaded directly into the system on a regular interval of your choosing.
• Export customized reports to MS Excel or to a comma-delimited format.
• Import data from MS Excel or comma-delimited files to greatly ease data conversion.
• Built-in Fax Manager with the ability to view or search faxes by Customer, Vendor, general Contact, Date, Category or key words.
• Automatic dial-up Web access to business partners.
• Searching of Customers or Vendors by Name or Sort Code.
• Pop-up calendars where date entry required.
• Purchase Orders, Invoices and Statements can be printed or sent via email or fax to your business partners. (Also see EDI.)
• System allows for drop-shipping to intermediate party, such as a customs broker.
• Multi-level security can be fine-tuned on a per screen or per module basis.
• Multi-company capability allows you to set up an unlimited number of companies for your accounting needs, with access granted on a per-user basis.
• Easier migration for former users of non-Windows-based systems (DOS and Unix). Many users are still accustomed to the (ENTER) key for navigating fields in a data entry screen. In many Windows-based programs, this results in inadvertent updating of screen data. In Foundation 2000, either the (ENTER) or (TAB) keys can be used for field navigation so that errant entry is greatly reduced, yet experienced Windows users can still feel comfortable with (TAB) key usage.
• Multi-Warehouse capability allows stock to be drawn from or shipped to an infinite number of warehouses.
• Ubiquitous Auto-browse feature ensures that you never have to memorize any codes whatsoever, be they Stock Item codes, Sales Rep codes or Units of Measure.
• On-the-fly entry of new Customers, Vendors, and other codes is available throughout the system to minimize excessive window navigation.
• Customized reports allow unlimited sorting options, font and color selection and other advanced selection criteria.
• Drag and drop customization of forms.
• Seamless integration of Electronic Data Interchange capability. Purchase Orders, Sales Invoices and Ship Notices, etc. can be transmitted and received at the click of a button.
• Built-in Contact Manager allows unlimited contacts per Customer or Vendor with General contacts as well. Unlimited dated notes pertaining to contacts are easily entered and viewed. Integration with Foundation 2000’s built-in fax server allows seamless access to the transmission, receipt and viewing of faxes. Receive or send email at the click of a button. Notes, faxes and email are all sorted for easy integrated viewing access.
• Built-in Internal Messaging system allows staff to send time and date stamped messages to other users on the system. Message alert pops up to notify staff of incoming messages. Choose from a list of all work stations which recipients to send messages to and type away.
• Job Costing is implemented throughout the entire system so that revenue and expenses can be allocated immediately to various projects.
• ODBC (Object Database Connectivity) driver allows connection with other popular reporting and database utilities such as MS Access and Crystal Reports.
• Powerful Financial Report Writing Utility allows users to generate their own custom reports across different departments, companies and a multitude of other parameters that are user-defined. The Utility is integrated within Foundation 2000tm and no other report writer is needed.
• Price increase notification scheduling permits you to pass on price increases from Vendors to Customers with advance notice, automatically or manually by fax or by e-mail at user-specified times. The system is scanned for all customers currently purchasing given products… including all outstanding Quotations and notifies them of any given price increases.
• RMA (Return Material Authorization) system handles service centres, model and serial numbers, manufacturers (or other) warranty issues.
