There was a thread earlier back about texting, and I mentioned that I would let people know when it was ready - so I hope its ok posting this? If not then mod's just delete!

Just been released is our new update with FREE add on's for all PRO users Latest info here: http://cleanersmate.co.uk/Latest_Features.htm

These are:

Photo file system for each client
You can store files & folders and these can be images, pdf's - anything. So now before you go to a client you can actually SEE what you are doing before you even go there! This is also great for having back ups of what you did on the day - in case of any disputes - how reassuring is that! And this is all visible within the client screen! http://cleanersmate.co.uk/Latest_Features.htm#Client_Files

Text Marketing
Our unique inbuilt text marketing system is now integrated into the 'marketing' section of our program (used to be called 'mail Merge'). This feature allows users to send individaul texts or bulk texting using our usual simple but powerful filter tools. If you have been using the bulk merge feature to send out letters/flyers etc and/or emails then you will instantly know how to use the texting feature. We have made it to work in the same way!
http://cleanersmate.co.uk/Latest_Features.htm#Texting. Despite 'concern' from some people about the legalities/data protection of texting, it is perfectly legal and more info can be read here: http://www.cleanersmate.co.uk/Text_(or_any_electronic_mail)_Regulations_Data_Protection_ICO_Gov.pdf

Access For Jobs
Just a little add on for each client that allows users to select from a drop down (or type manually) what is required i.e. TM, Porty, LM etc

Updated Back up/Restore
An automated way to back up by putting clients files (images etc) into a Zip file to save on users computer memory.

Anyone wishing to upgrade to the PRO version can simply do so here:

Help tutorials are available with new links: http://cleanersmate.co.uk/carpet_cleaning_software_tutorials.htm. Program can be downloaded now.

It is important that ALL users of ALL versions update their existing version to the latest one - as there are always system tweaks.

Thanks

Hi Simon

Just by creating an account with textlocal.com which takes about 30 secs. You then simply enter your registered email address and password in to Cleaners Mate and your done. Buying credits takes seconds too.

Got the update and its brilliant, have been advocating text marketing for a while now and this will make the whole thing a lot easier.

Many people access their email via mobile phone now, so theres not much difference between text and email, although i find its much easier to get a mobile number from a customer than their email, sometimes they dont know it, get it wrong or just suspicious about giving it to you.

On the other hand they will readily give you a mobile number and for some a mobile is all they have.

Plus in most cases a text has to be read whereas a surprising amount of people forget to check their email.

Plus  -  I could go on all day 

Think i'll just get on and use it

Thanks for the positive comment Steve. We have had great feedback already on this update, so it will no doubt be beneficial to them long term.

One or 2 people have already said how they really really like the photo system too for each client - I do like to hear enthusiasm
