► Reports & Dashboard Charts

Report Designer & Generator: 
As businesses get larger and their data becomes more complex, a capable reporting system is a fundamental requirement.

Within info@hand the reports module shows a list of available reports. You may click on the name of a report to run that report, or to see the archived results of previous runs of that report. Each report listed shows its name, the principal module on which it reports, when it was last run, when it was last modified, and if it is set to run manually, interactively or automatically on a timed basis. Scheduled reports may be automatically emailed to a distribution list. Just imagine - your business tells you how it is doing without being asked!

A number of predefined standard reports are included with the system, and new report designs may be easily developed and saved for repeated use in future. Try our online demo to see how easy it is to design your own reports.

Reports can include multiple sort keys, grouping, filters, and may relate data in multiple modules. Acrobat PDF documents may be created from any report, and report data may also be exported to several common file formats including CSV and HTML. 

Reports may also generate charts of their data, and these charts may then be added to your Personal Dashboard. more

► info@hand Finance (QuickBooks)

info@hand Finance (QuickBooks Synchronization Link)
The integration of business data is a serious and long-standing issue for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs). Typically, an SMB buys a CRM, an operations management system specific to their business model, an accounting system, an invoicing system, and potentially a service management system. Add in their public web site, and a customer self-service portal, and the average SMB starts to feel like they are in the IT business, not their real business.

For a business managed by multiple separate systems, the clerical effort and loss of data quality associated with trying to keep data in the multiple systems in sync is both costly and inefficient. Operating a business based on these 'islands of information' is not an option in today's challenging business climate.

Yet trying to buy an integrated system that covers all these bases, matches the specifics of your business model, and is still affordable, if often an impossible task. And even when such a system can be found, migrating to a fully integrated system from today's multiple applications can be a difficult and risky process.

With info@hand, our approach is different. We created a Customer Relationship and Business Management System (CRBM) - a system with a CRM at the core, with integrated operations management, service management and order management features. more

info@hand PBX: Integration for Asterisk/Trixbox/Skype/X-Lite Telephony

info@hand PBX is add-on software for the info@hand Business Portal that provides two additional capabilities:

• Click to dial
• Screen pop-up on incoming call

Click to dial for Firefox, by info@hand:

The click to dial capability is provided by an add-on for Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later that enables click-to-dial capabilities for any software that displays telephone numbers on the browser screen. This add on is called Click-to-dial for Firefox, by info@hand.

When Click-to-dial for Firefox is active in your Firefox browser, whenever a telephone number is displayed in your browser, that number is hyperlinked in such a way that if you click on it, your Asterisk or Trixbox IP Telephony system, or Skype or X-Lite software, will place a call to that number. A small telephone icon is added just to the right of the telephone number, to remind the user of the click to dial capability.

Click-to-dial for Firefox works with info@hand, SugarCRM, and indeed any web application used within Firefox. This software is free to use, but is proprietary software created by The Long Reach Corporation, which also holds the Copyright on the software and its documentation. It is not Open Source software. more
