Contact Manager Module
   
  AccountMate 6.5 for LAN's Contact Manager is a full-featured contact management program that helps you manage all aspects of your business efficiently. Contact Manager fully optimizes Microsoft BackOffice to provide a complete and automated contact management system that offers an all-in-one solution for managing multiple contacts.

Contact Manager stores all vital business and financial data about contacts and customers including names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses as well as notes and contact history. It allows you to sort and categorize contacts. In addition, it integrates with Microsoft Word; includes an enhanced report designer; provides contact filters, mail merge, e-mail and report functions; offers automatic dialing and email addressing features; and performs mass search and replacement of contact and customer data. When integrated with AccountMate’s Sales Order module a complete order-entry system that displays updated customer information at the touch of a button is created.

Contact Manager Module

Complete Contact Record Information
Each contact record includes date/time stamped contact notes; plus the contact name, title, company, address, fax and phone numbers, e-mail address, last and next call date, last and next action, industry and territory.

Enhanced Contact Management
Contact records allow you to quickly contact a customer or prospective customer, enter and review the salient points of each contact with a customer or prospect, track your communications with the customer in the order in which they occurred and perform mass mailing and/or e-mail distribution to customers and prospects.

Easy-to-use Contact Management Database
Search and retrieve contact records by company name, contact name, zip code, telephone number, recall date, salesperson number or by using any of a wide variety of other search filters.


Contact File - Information Tab

Seamless Integration with Word
The Contact Manager database is completely integrated with Microsoft Word for easy mail merge and correspondence.

48 User-Defined Fields
Up to 48 user-defined fields can be added to contact records. You can define each field name, type (character, date, logic or numeric), width and number of decimal places, and add the Lookup feature to the field. This makes Contact Manager highly customizable.


Contact Manager Module Setup

Compete Order Entry System
When integrated with the Sales Order module, you can create a sales quote or an order directly from the contact screen and fax it "on the fly." In addition, you can drill down from the contact function window into sub-levels of detail to gain instant access to actual sales orders, or you can easily use the tab key to examine critical financial information such as sales-todate, open order data, or balances due, all without having to leave Contact Manager.

When Contact Manager is linked to the Accounts Receivable module, you can list invoice and payment transactions entered through the latter module. You can also summarize, compare and graph monthly invoice transactions for any customer.
