The ProjectMaker Personal Edition is a software designed for equipment and labor tracking in projects. It offers a comprehensive solution for managing and monitoring resources used in projects, enabling users to optimize their operations and improve productivity.
On the other hand, ProjectMaker Pro is perfect for organizations that require a full-featured business management and inventory tracking application, and it supports both Mac OS and Windows XP. It is a multi-user business system built for the Special Event and Entertainment Industries, based on Filemaker Pro. ProjectMaker Pro is easy to learn, intuitive to use, and simple to maintain. It also offers remote access, multi-level security, and password admission in a cross-platform, server-based environment.
Apart from inventory and project tracking, ProjectMaker Pro is designed to be a collaborative environment in which the entire company can contribute to a project's success. Account executives can adjust orders, shop foremen can add important details about equipment, and business managers can update customer information.
Some key features of ProjectMaker Personal Edition include tracking all aspects of projects, rentals, sales, and repairs; producing and tracking bids, invoices, and change orders; assigning project managers and crew; keeping all data accessible; attributing subs and purchases to the correct project; easily reviewing past jobs and purchase orders; tracking current and past pay rates; and having venue notes and URLs readily available. Other features include determining a client's revenue and profit, identifying which gear is making money and what's sitting on the shelf, and finding frequently sub-rented items.
ProjectMaker Personal Edition has a 30-day trial period, while version 2.3 incorporates a number of fixes and new features requested by clients. It is the first version to incorporate barcode scanning for equipment inventory, and upgrading to version 3, which supports full barcode implementation, will be greatly simplified. Upgrade procedures for all previous versions have been streamlined, and thanks to an updated .mac site, turnaround times can be less than a day, including sending and returning user files.
Additional features of the software include added functionality to the Project Rental Basis, rental contract text to default company text fields and corresponding text to a new Rental Contract equipment list, manifest value multiplier to login and manifest value to the notes layout in Inventory, an updated built-in ZIP code file, individual item discount as a percentage, missing zip code label to a new company layout when creating a new company from the New Project page, changed fields on both invoices and change orders from Install and Strike to Leave Shop and Return Shop, and date checking script to new projects and booking scripts. This checks to make sure that beginning and ending project dates are less than 191 days and displays a warning message if necessary. Additionally, the page layout for the equipment inventory utilization report has been fixed.
To use ProjectMaker Personal Edition, it requires a G3 500 MHz processor or better and 256 MB RAM.
