The new operating systems Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are already supported by easyjob 4.0.

 

Our automated tests area have already been running on the new Windows platform since summer. As before, we support the operating systems Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2003 R2, Windows Vista and Windows 2003 R2.

 

 

The easyjob Update, which will be available soon, also supports the new Actions task bar.

 

 

Some easyjob function calls are already available in the context menu.

 

Our company has already been working with the new operating system for some time now.

 

We have had good experiences up until now using Microsoft's new operating system. We can only recommend the update to everyone.

 

Our favorite functions from development:

- Windows Key with many hot keys.

- The new Taskbar.

 

We hope you have a lot of fun with the new operating system!

At this year's prolight+sound in Frankfurt, we will again present a variety of new functions and upgrades.

This year, we are presenting many new features and options.

 

This information is presented exclusively in advance for our blog readers!

easyjob 4.0 Webshop

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

The easyjob Webshop makes rental inventory available for selection via the Internet.

The Webshop integrated in easyjob was implemented on the basis of Microsoft Silverlight Technology.

Web-based inquiries are sent to the designated rental manager via e-mail. With a few mouse-clicks, easyjob determines the availability of the desired items and generates a proposal that can be sent back to the customer.

This accelerates the rental process in that the customer is the one who builds the order.

 

In the first version, the Webshop module does not require personal login information.

 

 

easyjob 4.0 Manufacturing Controller

It is possible to create Manufacturing Orders with the Manufacturing Controller tool.

The Manufacturing Order consists of Items, Resources and a Cost Planner.

Items that are not available in Stock can be directly transferred into a Purchase Order.

The completed item can be transferred to the rental or sales stock. It is also possible to attach as many of these completion orders as needed to the easyjob Project.

The project cost planner will then display the income and expenses associated with each completion order.

 

easyjob 4.0 Live Project Folder

Various Web parts display Information such as project data, Items, Staff and Documents on the individual project pages. User rights can be implemented for the individual projects.

A Log View shows the user's access to the individual documents.

The customer logs into the system and can view all the information approved for him. Furthermore, Employees and Freelancers can also gain access with the Live Project Folder.

The initial version of the Live Project Folder is designed as read-only. In later versions, it will be possible to edit easyjob information via the integrated Web parts.

 

easyjob 4.0 QA (Quality Assurance)

The Quality Assurance option supports the safeguarding of the company's quality standards.

Resource Planning will be expanded with the Qualification Function. As many Qualifications as needed (e.g. forklift driver's license, instructions, etc.) are created in the Master Data.

The duration of the validity of the individual qualifications can be managed. The individual qualifications are assigned to the individual Employees and Freelancers. It is also possible to assign the qualifications by Item.

In this way, for example, the Item "Grand MA" and the "Light Technician" can be assigned the qualification of "Grand MA". A further example is, e.g., the assignment of instructions for lifts.

When assigning Staff for a Project, this ensures that staff with the required qualifications is booked for the equipment to be used.

The individual Suppliers (Sub-hires and Staff) can be rated in the Project. In addition, the Customer can rate the Service via a Website.

 

The individual ratings are used in the Business Information Center to create Quality sheets.

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.
