Hello easyjobbers,

Over the past weeks, we may have been less outwardly present for you, but we have used this time intensively in order to advance the development of our software.

 

The development of all of the functions listed below is finalized. However we want to make the Tools available to you officially when the detailed documentation is ready.

 

Of course, we will present the individual tools to you in more detail soon.

In addition to numerous functions that were developed - especially for larger customer projects - we developed the following in 2008:

 

easyjob 4.0 Basic Functions

Expanded selection possibilities in the Resource Plan offer additional possibilities to distribute Items between Sites via Cross Rentals in the Multi-site version.

We are offering you now a new version of the integrated List&Label Report Designer, plus you have access to the easyjob Database from the Report Designer. You can move Projects and Jobs and a new context menu is available in easyjob Today.

Plus, the Basic Functions now include BIC Statistics for Sales and Purchase Orders and many smaller options.

 

easyjob 4.0 DigiFleet

But now with easyjob 4.0 DigiFleet, you can import and analyse tachograph data and driver cards quickly and easily.

In the time diagram, the individual activities are evaluated by Vehicle and Driver. Infractions against any driver rules will be reported.

The activity reports necessary for the driver can be batch printed. This takes information such as vacation and sickness from resource planning into consideration.

 

easyjob 4.0 Controlling Center

The heart of the Controlling Center is the management of purchase invoices. Every Purchase Invoice is processed and assigned to a corresponding object (e.g. project costs, sub-hires, workshop activities, inventory, etc.). The costs can be easily analyzed in the applicable program module.

This matching process also enables data to be automatically posted to the appropriate accounts. Data can be electronically submitted to your accounting professional as well.

 

 

The scanned Purchase Invoice assignment function takes you one step closer to a paperless office.

In addition to the management of purchase invoices, the easyjob 4.0 Controlling Center also contains a variety of practical features such as project post calculation statistics, payment instructions and cost planning.

 

 

easyjob 4.0 Freelancer Communication Pack

Communication with Freelancers is made much easier with the easyjob Freelancer Communication Pack.

 

 

Among other benefits, booking requests, confirmations and availability can be shared electronically with the individual Freelancers.

It is a software that lets the Freelancer manage his appointments, addresses and invoices.

 

easyjob 4.0 Webshop

With easyjob 4.0 Webshop, you can offer your Rental Items on the Internet.

 

 

With easyjob Master Data, it is determined which Items will be published on the internet.

The webshop is adapted to your own web page colors in the easyjob program settings.

In the web browers, the shop is displayed using Microsoft Silverlight Control.

The customer collects the Items and sees the corresponding daily rental price.

From the request, the project is automatically created in easyjob using the Project Assistant.

easyjob 4.0 Webshop is the first webshop available on the market for rental companies.

 

easyjob 4.0 Gadgets

With easyjob Gadgets, individual areas of information from the Navigator and easyjob Today can be displayed also outside of the easyjob application.

 

 

Various display layouts are available.

 

easyjob 4.0 Mobile

With easyjob 4.0 Mobile Edition, we have combined scanner functionality and the easyjob Pocket PC Edition in one application.

 

 

easyjob 4.0 Mobile Edition has been newly developed from the ground up.

The functional range of easyjob 4.0 Mobile includes:

Load Job, Unload Job, Unload Project, List Views, offline scanning, assign linked References, Inventory, assign Serial Numbers, print barcodes, projects, jobs, items, resources and mobile phone functions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hope that these comprehensive innovations will make working with easyjob even easier for you.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

 

Also this year we have done without Christmas presents and have supported UNICEF in their relief  projects.

 

To make sure that also our employees will have a relaxing Christmas period, our support department will be closed on December 24, 29, 30, 31 and January 2. We can still be reached using the usual contact information for "Business Critical" cases.

 

Merry Christmas from the entire protonic software team!

The first easyjob installation went live ten years ago today.

 

At that time, no one could have thought that easyjob would develop into a solution that is used by small and large enterprises in the Entertainment branch.

 

From the beginnings with one employee, we have developed into a solid company with 20 employees.  Constant improvements have turned easyjob into a standard application. Over the years we have received various awards, such as from Microsoft and PLASA, for example.

 

In addition to many detailed improvements to easyjob 4.0, next year we will be able to finish completely new options with the Freelancer Communication Pack, easyjob 4.0 Controlling Center, easyjob 4.0 Webshop and easyjob 4.0 Sidebar Gadgets.

 

We have a lot planned also for 2009.

 

We would like to especially thank all of our customers, who have placed their trust in us from the first version.

Improved Resource Planning

 

For faster searching, every Resource in your Master Data will now be categorized as an employee, freelancer and/or temporary staffing agent. The update will automatically categorize your existing Resources according to the following schedule: Addresses assigned to easyjob Users will be regarded as employees, Addresses that have more than one Resource assigned to them within a job will be regarded as a temporary staffing agent and Addresses with only one Resource assignment will be regarded as Freelancers.

 

A Job Appointment can now be selected in the Resource Assignment Window.

The Assigned Resource detailed view can now be filtered by Job or Appointment.

This will enable you to display Assigned Resources more conveniently than ever.

The "Always Display in Resource Plan" check box is now available for Freelancers and Temporary Staffing Agents.

You can also filter the Resource Planner to only display individuals who meet the selection criteria.

Date Mover for Projects and Jobs

 

No need to panic when you're handed last minute changes. A helpful Wizard will now quickly and easily adjust the time frame and schedules for existing Projects and Jobs.

We have integrated a new and improved version of the List&Label Report Designer to give you more control over the look and feel of your print-outs.

In upcoming blog entries we will elaborate on advancements to the Business Information Center and the new easyjob 4.0 Controlling module to be released with the next update.
