As a user of our software you are probably entitled to update it to the latest version at any time, the only proviso being that the software is covered by current software maintenance. To have current maintenance, the software should be within it’s original cover period from sale (usually a year), under maintenance contract or under a rental agreement.

It is now possible to specify a time in addition to the date for when a prospect is due for a follow up contact.
The contacts due list is improved by the addition of contact due time and also future contact notes.
To make room for future improvements, new file designs have been introduced to hold both live and historic sales and purchase order information.
The V.A.T. rate in the Republic of Ireland changed to 23% from the 1st January 2012. You may find yourself needing to raise credits for goods sold prior to the rate increase. The existing drop-down menu option, which can be accessed directly using Alt+V, can now be used to change temporarily the rate of V.A.T. to the earlier rate of 21%.
Two new vehicle types have been added.
It is now possible to save an SMS or Email message as standard.
It is now possible to write report generator reports that retrieve information from a separate report.
A recent addition prevented you from being able to have duplicate entries for a centre in "Sale and Purchase Ledger Postings". This has now been rectified.
Currently job items will always be grouped by "Category", and we recently added the option to move items around within their category to control where they appear on printed documents. We have now added the option to move items around completely independent of their category.
Our integrated Platinum O+ e-commerce web site solution has been enhanced with better support for overseas customers. When a web customer registers on the website they now have the option to specify their country and, optionally for business customers, their V.A.T. registration number.
The website uses these to determine whether UK V.A.T. should be included in prices, and updates the prices shown and invoiced appropriately.
The passing customer browsing the website can also quickly flip prices between VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive so they know what they can expect to pay should they wish to register and then buy.
Platinum can now connect with the new "TNSPay Payment Client" software from Transaction Network Services for processing credit card payments.
Features of the new TNS software:
Platinum can now automatically download and import all of your eBay sales into your "Sales Order Processing" system, saving you the time of finding or creating customer records and letting you concentrate on the important business of dispatching goods to your valuable customers!
This new link builds on top of the proven Platinum O system that can allow sales from all of your e-commerce websites to be imported into your "Sales Order Processing" system, with a new interface that downloads your sales direct from eBay as they happen.
Platinum can now automatically scan your existing customer database for matches when new web customers are downloaded from your eBay and other e-commerce websites.
This new feature happens automatically as new web orders are downloaded and imported into your "Sales Order Processing" system, and can also be initiated on-demand by using the "Sales Ordering" -> "Review Pending Web Customers" option.
Platinum will automatically create new customer records when no match is found and assign to existing records when there is an exact match. If there is any doubt then Platinum will show you the details and let you decide.
