CMS Lite


What is it?   How does it work?

     CMS Lite is a complete set of computer equipment, programs, manuals and support allowing dry-cleaning laundries to realize the benefits of a proven computer system.  When you receive the equipment, plug it in, turn it on, and you will automatically be placed at a pictorial menu of system options. Included with your system are DOS programs for normal office functions like a rolodex, spreadsheet, and word processing. However, the heart of your new system is Counter Management. Just click on the CMS picture to display the menu of programs available. Once the simple definition forms have been completed, you will build your data files and be on your way. There is a simple daily cycle to be followed. These tasks create invoices, post cash, and create reports necessary to balance the day's work. A short monthly and yearly cycle are also performed. All other selections are optional, but very useful. These report selections assist company personnel in directing the business, collecting money, and responding to customer inquiries. You receive all of this for less than one half of one clerk's annual salary.

Questions & Answers

Can the software be purchased separately?

No. This was considered; but, retrofitting the system into various models of machines costs more than new equipment. The secret to this price is volume purchasing and efficient setup.

What happens if we outgrow CMS in the future?

You can't. Each system is built on Novell's new NetWare Lite networking system. You can install many counter stations at each facility. Each facility can be linked to the main office over the telephone lines with a modem.

What happens if a problem develops?

The software agreement you will sign provides for 24 hour phone support. One of your experienced support analysts is always available.

Can other DOS applications be run on the system?

You should be able to with no problem. DataTeam has done nothing proprietary to the system. However, normal DOS and Novell rules must be followed. We suggest not introducing new applications for the first two months.
