The Event Worksheet tm

Would you like to make your Event Planning (or Wedding Consultation) sessions appear a lot more professional ?. Would you like to be able to "make those never-ending changes" a lot easier to handle, and do away with all those redlines and modifications ? Would you like to put away all those big catalogs, and be able to simply click your mouse and have the catalog pictures appear magnified, right on your computer screen ?

Designed specifically for the Retail Florist and the Event Planner like yourself, it allows you to conduct your Event Interviews with customers, gather all the pertinent information, facilitate the selection of material and services, handle all the issues with respect to pricing and payment, and finally print the proposal (worksheet). The system can handle events such as Weddings, Barmitzvahs, Batmitzvahs, Victory Parties, Funerals, Banquets, etc.

The Event Worksheet handles each event based on the various requirements of that event. In case of weddings for example, the system provides you with the environment to enter the necessary information for the Bride, conduct the Wedding Consultation, select floral or decoration items interactively, determine prices during the interview (or at a later time), enter the payment information, and print the Wedding Worksheet (proposal / contract)..

In order to explain the components of the Event Worksheet, we will choose "Wedding" as the example event in this brochure. Please note that for other events, the same capability exists but based on the requirements of each specific event, the labels for each section change automatically, to reflect the requirements of that specific event. The Event Worksheet has 11 "Tabs", which in case of a Wedding Event these tabs are as follows:

You can specify colors on the screen using the Color Picker utility providing you with up to 24 million colors (depending on your computer setup and capabilities).

Setup Inventory.

You can Setup Inventory Items with their "Bitmap" (picture). The Event Worksheet is shipped with a few sample Bitmaps, but you can easily scan the pictures of your own Inventory items and add them to the Event Worksheet’s setup. The system uses the Industry Standard Bitmap format of ".BMP" files, which is easily produced using any scanner software.

Magnify Images and show the colors of Wedding.

Once the Item is selected using the Event Worksheet’s Search Engine, the Bitmap is automatically inserted into the Worksheet. You can magnify the Item’s Bitmap to cover most of the computer screen, by simply right clicking on the item’s picture.

The system comes totally equipped with a Spell Checker. Any item description, notes, or the terms of the proposal can be easily checked for misspelled words, by simply clicking on the "Spell Check" button.

The Event Worksheet provides you with the "Frequently Used Address" Database. Once you setup this database, you can quickly insert the Chapel, Church, Funeral Home, or Hotel’s address, by simply clicking on the "Freq. Address" button.

The Event Worksheet is available in either the "Standalone-Single user" or the "Integrated - Multi-user" configurations. When upgrading from the "Standalone" mode to the "Multi user" mode, all of your existing data (worksheets) will remain intact.

The "Integrated – Multi user" mode works in a multi-user environment, where all stations have access to the "Centrally Located" event worksheet database.

Calculations and Terms.

The "Multi User" version of the Event Worksheet also works in conjunction with the Visual Ticket tm "Point-Of-Sale" system, creating orders for each worksheet for further processing and automation (handling the Account Receivable, Production and Delivery Tracking, staging the standby orders, and printing the necessary work and delivery tickets).

The Event Worksheet printouts are "User-Modify-able". You can insert the Bitmap of your own Shop’s "Logo" directly into the printout. You can also modify the position of, or the font used for each field on the various Printouts.

This is a sample of the Event Worksheet Printout. The system provides you with multiple options for the format of the Printout.
