Are you ready for the Holidays?

[Barney Stone]

I know it's the lazy days of summer, but the end of year Holidays are approaching fast! Are you and your Stone Edge implementation ready? I am still providing tools and services to help Stone Edge users.

Is your Stone Edge SQL data file getting cumbersome? I have a tool that will archive Orders, Purchase Orders, inactive Customers and discontinued Products, plus all related data (Transactions, Notes, Tracking, etc.) for selected dates, leaving you with a streamlined and more efficient data file. If needed, Archived data can still be accessed using the Switch Stores function.

How about a way to send and track PayPal invoices from within Stone Edge? Or integrate powerful custom functions into your Email Templates? Or let each user have their own unlimited set of custom Quick Filters?

Do you manufacture and/or customize products? My Smart Stations add-on helps track orders as they move from Station to Station. Create the Stations that you need,  such as Design, Fabrication, Photography or Quality Control. Use the Dashboard to monitor what's happening, find bottlenecks, check staff workloads, etc.

Do you use Kits? Would you like them to be more flexible, so you can change their Parts, quantities, etc. after they are already on an Order? I call them Bundles, and you can control which are normal Kits, and which to treat as Bundles.

Or maybe there is some other change or add-on that would make Stone Edge work better for your particular company, saving you time, frustration and manpower. If you can think of it, I can probably make it happen for you.

Please pardon the commercial message, and let me know how I can help you!

Hi Barney,

We have your PayPal Invoice and Quick Filters customizations and they are both super.  They probably paid for themselves in a few months in time savings for us.  Especially PayPal Invoicing.  Anyone who uses PayPal should seriously consider this product.  We also really love Advanced View Orders and Advanced Customer Service and that they are now a built into Stone Edge shows just how great they are. More than 90% of my company's collective time in Stone Edge is spent in one or the other of those two screens.  We have 10 users and many of us use Stone Edge all day long.   It is incredible that Stone Edge can almost be just those two screens!  That's how great and feature loaded they are.

If you are looking for a project, let me suggest "Advanced Purchased Orders."  That part of Stone Edge is feature limited and could greatly benefit from the type of work you did with AVO and ACS.  I have a lot of ideas I could share with you (born out of frustration with the existing functionality) and I'm sure others in the community could contribute as well.  It is not something I can fund as my own customization but I'd be a buyer of APO if you developed it and sold it to users using the AVO and ACS model.    

Either way, I would like to say "Thanks" for all your work making these great customizations available to the Stone Edge community.  A secondary marketplace of pre-built, reasonably priced customizations is what makes Stone Edge great.  I appreciate your contribution (and the contributions of the other developers) to that ecosystem and know many other users do as well.  

Keep up the good work!
