Card Lock for COMPAS Commander


For Immediate Release
AIMS Releases COMPAS Commander Cardlock Software
	Monroe, LA - September 26 – AIMS, Inc. announces the introduction of a Card Lock software module for its COMPAS Commander series of marketer enterprise-level software. Commander’s Card Lock module is an option that users of the core Commander product can add. Card Lock completely
integrates with the main Commander system, meaning there are no work-arounds and no “dis-connects” between the core accounting function and the cardlock operation. For example, unbilled cardlock invoices, when created, instantly update customers’ available credit lines, helping manage A/R credit limits in real-time. As with all Commander-series software, Card Lock is a true, native Windows application, being written using Microsoft’s VB.NET Framework tools. Card Lock shares the Microsoft SQL Server database with the rest of Commander. Commander’s Card Lock can handle both direct-polled proprietary cardlock sites and network sites, and even a combination of both. Processing is extremely simple and fast. The Card Lock module supports an unparalleled variety of customer pricing options, even margins based on percentages. Other features include instant invoicing and support for two-card systems. Because Crystal Reports creates Card Lock and all other Commander reports, information that both the marketer and the marketer’s customers need can be found and viewed easily. A variety of other data-mining tools can of course be used with Commander-series products.
