Managing source, qualification levels, previous notes and logs, with tasks and follow up dates simply keeps you prospecting rather than tracking.

And thankfully with Function Point you will know what’s in the pipeline, the status and your previous phone logs or attached documents such as specifications tracked to specific jobs. And when opportunities convert, your data converts without re-entering. Somewhat more than a name and address in your email tool!
conversions to jobs

The job financials page will provide you with an overview of any current job and all financial aspects respectively; keeping the financial elements broken down to specifics will eliminate uncertainty and keep both you and your clients confident in making important economic decisions.
traffic & task
OK, OK, OK,….All day long. Being in the details, shuffling from one to the next and so on and so on. It’s how you like it and you’ll like it even more when your job schedules are done, the specs are posted, and workloads of all your team are working. Can we remind you of the details…? OK, OK, OK.
job schedule
Move from estimates to timelines with the click of a button, get a visual flow chart of work , enhance your organizational skills. Forget about chaos and disorder; your daily essentials should be an effortless process. Function Point will be a priceless asset in this.
design
Did you get your time sheets in yet? If we only had a dollar (sterling) for every time that gets asked. But it doesn’t have to be painful. Every job is tracked, expenses are reported, pass files for vendors, post proofs for clients…All of a sudden it sounds interesting, umm I mean useful.
calendar
If you’re the type of person that marks events on a calendar regularly, you will love this tool. Choose the amount of detail you wish to insert and denote whether your events are specific to a date or repeating on a daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly… basis – you get the point.
time sheets
Do you ever feel as if productivity is lacking, or that you simply don’t know where costly time is invested? A healthy addition to any business, Function Point’s web-based timesheets will minimize uncertainty regarding what’s getting done and when.
in & out board
Are you available? If not, change your status using the in & out board. Whether you are at a meeting, out for lunch, or just too busy to be bothered, simply enter your status and everyone will know what you’re up to. If you’re nowhere to be found, the reason of your absence will never be an inconvenient question mark.
production
Hey…Who did we use on the last print job? What was the size we agreed upon? Did you see that estimate we were talking about?
vendors
Often forget which providers provided you with what and at what cost? That could be a costly mistake. A busy business sees so many po's and invoices flying its way every day that such mistakes can be common. Minimize the potential harm by keeping all your vendor information organized with Function Point; you will always know when you’re getting the best deal and from who.
admin & billing
It’s the 15th and we already got paid. You have to like being caught up on all that busy..ness.

And with our tie-in’s to your accounting tools you will have the confidence to trust all the numbers.
