Harvest Ventures Customer News - February 2015

This year continues to be a busy one for Harvest Ventures and also for our clients as we are finding out. For some, the oil prices have become a considerable factor while others are experiencing more growth.

In either case, we are helping businesses small and large with managing their data to improve productivity and work more efficiently.

One tool that has been quite popular is our Credit Card Processing Utility. It allows users to manage credit card data and transactions within Macola eliminating the need for manual entries. We've been doing a lot of demos on this one - stay tuned, a demo video will be released very soon!

HARVEST CUSTOMER ROUNDUP
Next Meeting: March 17th in Cambridge, ON

It was great to meet with so many Exact users in person at our kick off meeting on February 17th in Burlington! The feedback was very positive and users offered several suggestions on what they would like to learn about in future meetings.

The goal of the Harvest Roundups is to improve communications between Harvest, Exact and the local User Community, regardless of which ERP is used. The educational portion will address each product and users will have the opportunity to discuss their challenges and successes with the group.

If time allows, there is opportunity for attendees to get small issues resolved and questions answered by our local consultants and developers.

We look forward to seeing you on March 17th! For those who were not able to make the first meeting, we hope to see you out at the next ones.
