General Information

AnyOrder!.is a Windows based software program designed specifically for small mail order businesses--or any business that needs to process orders whether received by phone, mail or email.  Simple and easy to use, it prepares invoices, does billings, generates sales reports, handles returns, keeps track of inventory, records customer payments, tracks consigned items, and creates customer mailing lists. 

It's a shareware program.  That means it's free to try out.  Give it a good test drive and see if it will work for you.  It has a comprehensive help system--and since I use it extensively, I know it works well, and it gets the job done.  If you have a business in which you must process orders, I think you'll find it just the sort of thing that you've been waiting for.  And, even better yet, you don't have a degree in accounting to understand how to use it!

Based on award winning business software and 5-years of research . . .

AnyOrder is a new approach to business software.  It is based on 5-years of research and development, and is designed specifically for folks that are looking for a simple and straightforward way of operating their business. 

AnyOrder was created from same basic engine runs another software program that I developed called AnyBook.  AnyBook was awarded an Editor's Pick Award by PC Magazine. It received the Select Software Award by Simply the Best Software, and it is ranked among the top 100 Business and Accounting Software programs by Softbase, a software ranking and information site.

Available in two series . . .

AnyOrder is available in two series: Classic Series and Professional Series. The differences between each of the series and editions are explained below:

The Classic Series is designed for businesses that are just getting started and need a low-cost way of dealing with day-to-day business tasks.  Classic programs are based on the 16-bit programming platform. That means that they were originally programmed for older operating systems.  Classic programs are supported but no new features and enhancements are being added. 

The Professional Series is the result of years of research and development and is made up of the premier versions of AnyOrder.  This is state-of-the-art business software. Currently, the Professional Series consists of three editions:  Level I, II, and III.  Each higher level provides more options and a larger range of features.  Programmed in 32-bit code, Professional Series programs are designed specifically for newer operating systems.  All new development and enhancements occur with the Professional Series.  More Information.

All AnyOrder versions are compatible.  You can move from Level I to Level II, or Level II to Level III, or even from Classic Basic to Professional Level III.  The program will automatically convert data files to the new version.  AnyOrder's built in compatibility provides you with the assurance that as your company grows, AnyOrder can grow with you.  You can upgrade from one version to another and not lose valuable customer data that you've built up over the years.

Classic Series: Available in three different editions . . .

Depending on your needs, AnyOrder is available in three different editions (AnyOrder Classic Basic, AnyOrder Classic Standard and AnyOrder Classic Advanced).

Rankings by Independent Software Sites
AnyOrder.received top honors from the following software ranking sites . . .

"What.an incredibly simple and powerful program!  I've been using Quickbooks to enter my orders but it's too complicated.  I'm really excited about your program and am recommending it to my other entrepreneur friends who've been looking for an alternative to Quickbooks.  All I ask is that as you expand, keep it as simple to understand as it now."

     --Jeffery Bradley, www.netnia.com, Dallas, TX

"I have been using AnyOrder for a year now and have been extremely satisfied. I own a very busy mail order/internet business and this program offers all the features I need. I had tried more expensive programs and this is by far the best."

     --Janice Lennon, Christian Expressions, Cranston, RI

"It's asking a little much for me to just write one or two sentences about AnyOrder....this program literally makes packing slips and invoicing fun and I mean this sincerely when I say that.
      I have found AnyOrder to be one terrific, feature-rich, time saving program to handle invoicing, billing and sales.  For years I've used other well-known programs to handle our company's shipping & invoicing needs;  nothing even comes close to matching AnyOrder's ease of use, speed, and clean interface!  You feel comfortable with this program right away, and it's documentation is clear and easy to read.  AnyOrder allows me to handle packing lists, invoice s and batch printing in a mere fraction of the time, and it's export capabilities are excellent allowing me to easily share data with other programs.   This is the best invoicing, billing, and sales program I have ever used and would recommend  it for anyone with a need to handle sales.
     For years I've used QuickBooks, played around with Peachtree and ACCPAC's Simply Accounting.  Cumbersome QuickBooks has been the mainstay and remains for handling payables, etc. ---- but guess who's handling my invoicing now?  I'm very, very pleased."

    --Vicki Rush, Rush Furniture, Americus, GA 

I just wanted to write and let you know that I adore your program. I run several businesses and I truly would be lost without the help this program gives in the "behind the scenes" bookkeeping.  I currently an an American living in England and there are so many things different over here such as pounds rather than dollars... dates in a different format such as the day before the month... And many other little things that your program takes care of without any fuss or bother.
     It has features I didn't even know that I needed and I honestly can't say what I'd like more.  It has met every one of my business needs and I couldn't be without it.  It is a real time saver, something that is important in running a business out of one's home.
     Thank you much for creating such a great program.  I will do my best to spread the word as it is worthy of a good word... I can't say enough about the prompt responses I have gotten when I've had questions. Having a good program is only half of it... the other half is the after care and you and your company excel in this manner.  Thanks again for creating such a great program.

     -- Elaine Andruss, Great Britain
