Proud Member of the National Mail Order Association: More 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 we use it extensively, we know it works well, and
it gets the job done. If you have a business in which you must process
orders, we 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 7-years of research . . .
AnyOrder
is a new approach to business software. It is based on 7-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 we
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 four editions: Level I, II, III and IV (new this year). Each
higher level provides more options and a larger range of
features. Professional Series programs
are designed specifically for newer operating systems. All new
development and enhancements occur with the Professional Series.
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 IV. 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.

More
information on zip files (.zip) further down on
this page. For your safety, all files have been extensively checked
with McAfee
anti-virus software. Additionally, they have been
independently re-check by our download contractor. For more
information, see program
and Internet safeguards. Also see Readme
file links.
Information
on zip files / How to install the program:
Like.the
great majority of downloaded software, AnyOrder's program files
come in a standard zip file. (You can tell by the ".zip" extension
at the end of the file name.) After you download the software, double
click on the zip file name, i.e. anyorder.zip. This will open
a dialog box with a list of files contained in the zip file. Among
the list of files, you'll see "Setup.exe." Double click on
"Setup.exe" and the program will begin installing.
If
you tried double clicking on the file name, and a dialog box didn't appear,
you probably don't have a zip program installed on your system. Zip
programs are very handy. They can take a large number of files and
compress them down into one small compact file. In addition, zip
programs are also used "unzip" a zip file. If you don't have a zip
program, you'll want to get one. It's the main way in which software
is distributed on the Internet. There are a number of different zip
programs which you can download and install on your system. One zip
program that I suggest and is highly regarded in the computer world is
WinZip.
You can download a free trial version from their site. Another zip program is call JustZipit. JustZipit is quite simple to use and it's totally free.
A complete
help system accompanies AnyOrder. It has an opening tour which
explains a few highlights about the program and guides you through some
sample invoices. It also includes a special "Getting Started" section
and includes sample customers and products that will be helpful as you
evaluate the program.

Program
and Internet safeguards
For.your
security, AnyOrder
program files are extensively carefully checked
with anti-virus software. Additionally, they are re-tested and
thoroughly
scanned for viruses by Simtel, our software download contractor.
Lately, some programmers have been inserting code in software
which surreptitiously provides information to commercial sites through
Internet connections. I find such practices repugnant and
unethical.
You can be assured that AnyOrder is complete free of any such code.

| Notes and Comments
from Users
|
One.the
most rewarding aspects of developing AnyOrder have been the notes and phone
calls from users. Here are some examples . . .
"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
I have to say this is by far the best program I've seen for running a mail-order business.
This program does everything you can imagine plus
some things you never thought of. Imagine copying the tracking
number off the USPS web site and clicking a box on AnyOrder. Wham the
tracking number and the date mailed are automatically entered into the
software.
Want more? How about those people who email you a
credit card number--it's all broken up with spaces,etc. Just highlight
it and the exp date with your cursor, copy and and hit paste within the
Anyorder program. AnyOrder will strip out the spaces, put the
credit card information and exp in the proper places on the form.But
will also verify the card is valid. If you have an online merchant
account anyorder can then process the card for you. All this from a
simple copy and paste!
You got to love this program, I couldn't run my business without it.
--Devin Knight, Daytona Beach Shores, Florida
"I
just wanted to take a minute and let you know how great I think AnyOrder is and
how it has worked for me. I own a Video Production business and had a need
for an invoicing program, but I also need to keep up with our inventory of tapes,
cases, etc. I searched all over the internet, in stores, everywhere until
I found your software. I decided to try it out for a couple of weeks, but
ended up purchasing it before a few days were up. The
program is great and I am getting ready to upgrade to a Professional
version. I love the program, but what I am most impressed with is the
Customer Support. I have only had a couple of problems in the year that I
have been using AnyOrder, but each time my problem has been addressed
immediately and with the greatest of concern. Being a businesswoman
who works with the public, I appreciate the communication and attention that
you pay to your customer service. Thank you for a great product
and for great customer service."
--Sandra
Medlin, CCI Video
