AnyOrder Professional Level I: invoicing for a small mail order business
You take orders by phone, mail and email, and right now they live in a mix of notebooks, spreadsheets and word-processor templates. When a customer calls about a past order, or you need a sales total, you spend time digging. AnyOrder Professional Level I is built to replace that with one invoicing program made for order-taking businesses.

Key features
Prepare invoices for orders from any channel
The core of Level 1 is invoice generation. It is meant for orders received by phone, mail or email, so you can use one process for all of them.
Record payments and handle returns
You can record customer payments and handle returns in the same program, so your records of who paid and who sent something back stay in one place.
Sales reports and customer mailing lists
The program produces sales reports and creates customer mailing lists from the customers you have entered.
Help system, sample files and a guided tour
It comes with an extensive help system, sample files and a guided program tour, so you can learn it with example data before entering your own.
Who it's for
It suits small mail order businesses and any small business that needs to process orders and send invoices without full accounting software. If you also need billing statements or inventory tracking, the vendor sells higher levels of AnyOrder that add a billing and inventory engine to the Level 1 invoicing features.
