BLUE LINK INTRODUCES BREAKTHROUGH VERSION OF SOLUTIONS WITH UNLIMITED UNITS OF MEASURE
Toronto, ON., November 1, 2001 - Blue Link Associates Limited of Concord, Ontario, has released version 9.0 of its popular mid-range business and accounting series, Blue Link Solutions. This new release is based on Microsoft Access 2002, part of Microsoft Office XP Professional, allowing Blue Link users to take full advantage of the tight integration with Excel, Word and Outlook.
The key benefit of this release is the ability to manage unlimited units of measure, per inventory SKU. Until now, most small and mid-range business and accounting packages limited the units of measure which could be assigned to a SKU (frequently to just one). Blue Link Solutions has transformed this paradigm.
Here?s how it works: user-defined measures such as pack sizes, weights and volumes each have their default selling price by product code. In addition, these selling prices may be defined by trading currency (for each unit of measure). This approach vastly simplifies the order entry and purchasing processes, particularly for companies doing business both sides of the Canada/US border. Users can even define volume/discount breaks per unit of measure, by currency.
Another major enhancement that Version 9.0 facilitates is single-step alternative payment vendor support. Where a company makes a purchase from one vendor, and ends up paying another (such as through a credit card transaction), the purchase history will remain with the appropriate vendor even if payment is directed to the other, in one step, either at time of purchase or when processing payment.
This release also adds dozens of additional functions and capabilities, with a focus on the inventory, purchasing, landed cost tracking and accounting modules.
Mark Canes, president of Blue Link, says ?This XP-based release offers substantial productivity gains to inventory-oriented companies. Blue Link always strives to provide its users with productive functionality usually found only in much more costly software (if at all), and version 9 certainly achieves that aim.?
Version 9.0 is available immediately with the Microsoft Access (Jet) back end, while the MS SQL-Server version will be released during the first quarter of 2002.
