"We've been using CellularManager for about two years now.
In that time, we've never had any problems with either the software or the service.
In fact, I've opened eight new stores in that time. I'm positive that it would
not have been as easy to grow as a company if we had any other software."
"I hate to recommend this software to any potential competition,
but CellularManager is the best."

NEW TOOLS ROLLING OUT FOR THE WIRELESS SERVICE RETAILERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wireless service retailers are normally shunned as being high risk small businesses with a history of going out of business without much if any notice. However, some enterprises are trying to help change that by providing other tools and resources to wireless retailers that will allow them to manage their business more profitably. In this article, here are three of those resources and tools that we have recently learned more about.
The first coming from Dataguard Systems, Inc., who has introduced a software called CellularManager, the newest version of their Internet based point-of-sale and enterprise management software. The software allows the retailer to centralize all of their business information for easy access from any computer with Internet access, streamline all aspects of the business from employee commissions to your entire inventory, as well as providing real time updates on all aspects of your business.
"CellularManager 7.0 expands on the previous platform by providing new and advanced features to the management modules that our loyal subscribers already use," said Trinh Tran, Senior Account Manager. "Our goal has always been to provide the best possible product with the highest level of customer service to our clientele."
Added Timothy Maliyil, President of Data Guard Systems, "The CellularManager platform was developed to meet the growing and changing needs of wireless retailers nationwide. CellularManager 7.0 is a complete enterprise POS solution for wireless retailers that allows them to achieve faster growth and increased profitability. The comprehensive back end provides a powerful foundation for their business management while the simplicity and flexibility of the CellularManager front end allows our clients' employees to be more efficient and less error prone."
This software effectively eliminates the need for anyone to be an expert in project management which will probably end up paying for itself in the short term with the amount of time and money which can be saved by using it. When you get to the inventory management with vendors, remember to put EarthVision Cellular in there too. To learn more about the software and how it can be used we recommend at least visiting the following website at http://www.dataguardsystems.com because you might find it to have more value than you think.
Next, we have learned that you can now print off prepaid cellular PIN numbers and amount of airtime on paper sheets similar to a credit card receipt. Once there was a time where we did something similar but with long distance and we had it printed on labels which we attached to the back of our business cards as a promotional item. Without the associated expense of plastic cards and printing costs, it was money kept in the bank. In this case, many of these companies do not require you to purchase the airtime until the time of activation. Therefore, you are not holding unsold prepaid cellular airtime.
Another service that we have learned about was international long distance service for wireless phone users that actually pays commission to agents and is generally cheaper in price than that being offered by the wireless carriers. We are talking a major difference in pricing too. If you use international long distance from your cell phone, it is worth your time to check into your options. So there you have it. Three ways to push for incremental income or realize a savings for your retail business.
Complete POS System
What is a "complete POS system", specifically? A truly complete system does more than the traditional retail point of sale software. The old swipe machine software that would turn your countertop computers into payment processing machines really streamlined business, but now, today's retail POS systems can do even more.
A truly complete POS system can turn that countertop computer into a comprehensive nerve center for all aspects of your retail operation. Besides acting as cash register software, these programs can conduct inventory searches and updates, perform accounts receivable and accounts payable operations, and much more. If you've been using an outdated software system, get ready to join the 21st century!
"But is it easy to use?"-We hear this question often, and the answer is a resounding "Yes!", as long as you choose a software package with excellent user interfaces. As technology grows, complexity of operation, thankfully, decreases. Now, just about anyone can operate these POS systems.
The Complete POS System-for Today and Years Down the Road
You've given thought to how your new point of sale accounting software can better serve you with advanced capabilities, but have you thought about how it will age? Software, which is known for being outdated almost immediately, doesn't have to be such a revolving door. Some excellent packages scale right along with your business, fitting every expansion of your success!

Wireless Manager
The position of wireless manager is highly sought-after by aspiring entrepreneurs. As the wireless industry grows, so do the financial opportunities afforded. A wireless manager does more than just oversee the in and out-flow of products, however.
In order to become an effective cellular manager, one must understand the specific industry dynamics. This is an intensely hot market, but also one in which products and services change constantly. Demand is high, and yet the ground seems to be constantly moving, as it were.
If you're interested in opening a cellular phone store, then you'll need to familiarize yourself with the overall market. Advertising, for example, needs to target a specific audience with information regarding hot new developments and competitive plans. And, maintaining a satisfied clientele means keeping up with those promises effectively.
Effective Strategies for the Wireless Manager
The way to break into this fast-moving market is to get a professional and experienced ally on your side. While hiring a consultant might not fit your budget or even specific needs, you're not without options. There are sensationally broad new software packages that can help you to handle every single customer, from your very first to your one millionth. Look into the cellular industry software offerings, and you'll be amazed by what you see!
CellularManager™
The industry acclaimed CellularManager™ POS provides the foundation for running a successful cellular business. With the CellularManager™, you will be able to control cellular phone inventory as well as track all customer sales made from your cellular providers.
Manage phone activations effortlessly for one or more service providers. It does not matter whether you are a small or large cellular dealer. This cellular software was designed to accommodate dealers who do business with one or multiple service providers like Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile (formerly VoiceStream), Nextel, Cingular, Sprint, AT&T and more. Whether the phones you sell employ PCS, CDMA, GSM, iDEN, AMPS, GAIT or TDMA technology, our product can help improve the way you do business.
Quickly eliminate those painful commission related problems. Probably the most significant benefit of the CellularManager™ is its ability to resolve the most problematic issue facing all companies in this industry - COMMISSIONS. Over the years, cellular service providers have created a complex commission structure that is often difficult if not impossible to reconcile. Commissions are often based on many factors like rate plans, phone models sold, bonuses on certain plans, sales volume, and other factors that change on a monthly basis.
The real problem is actually caused by these service providers who create an unacceptable amount of errors when paying/charging back cellular dealers their commission for phones activated from previous months. They do not have automated processes in place to ensure that you get paid correctly on every phone sale you make. Our own sampling of cellular dealers nationwide has demonstrated commission errors as high as 15% annually. In other words, a cellular dealer who activates 1000 phones a month could have up to 150 phone activations with commission related errors (e.g. activated phones never being compensated, unwarranted charge backs, phone spiffs not being paid, sales volumes being achieved but not being rewarded, etc. ) . With CellularManager's integrated cellular software solutions, we will make sure this doesn't happen to you.
Reconcile commissions and keep cellular contract information online at the same time. The CellularManager™ was designed to maintain a database of all contractual phone sale agreements with your customers while simultaneously keeping track of pending commissions/rebates on each contract (i.e., rate plan, phone spiffs, bonuses, and sales volume incentives). With a simple data entry process, you can reconcile your provider's statement and quickly get a report of all unpaid or partially paid phone deals. Since all cellular phone contract information is kept electronically, it is extremely easy to research problems and perform inquiries about a customer's cellular phone package. Users can gain access to critical information quickly by looking up contracts using the customer's ESN, IMEI, SIM, KIT, or cell phone number. You can also perform customer lookups by name, company, home phone, work phone, or email as well.
Speed up data entry processes and conceal sensitive information. CellularManager™ cellular software solutions make it simple to enter all information quickly and accurately. Rate plans, product spiffs, and bonuses can be setup ahead of time to keep confidential information away from your data entry personnel. Your employee is simply guided through the steps of creating a customer account and filling in key fields about the cellular phone sale (i.e., service provider, phone number, ESN or IMEI, rate plan, contract length, model phone, etc.). CellularManager will optionally auto-generate a contract invoice for the phone sale using its integrated cellular point-of-sale capabilities and allow your salesperson to easily add items to the final invoice for cross-selling accessories.
As cellular phones and their technology change and evolve, you will need a cellular point of sale system that will grow and adapt to the many changes in the market. No other cellular pos on the market compares to
CellularManager - the flagship point-of-sale and customer relations management software application from
Data Guard Systems. Designed specifically for cellular retailers, wholesalers, and master agents,
CellularManager has not only a powerful cellular point of sale system but also inventory features and processes years ahead of the competition.
And with FREE product upgrades to your cellular point of sale, you'll
always have THE most advanced, most powerful, and easiest-to-use, cellular point-of-sale software on the market already hard at work for you!

A Cellular POS that Keeps Pace with Your Success!
Data security and ease of use are critical considerations, of course. However, never forget about a software package's potential to keep up with your changing needs. As your cellular phone store grows and changes along with the market, your software simply has to keep up. Your retail POS systems simply must be affordably upgradeable-some companies even offer free upgrades-in order for you to remain on the cutting edge.
Cellular Point Of Sale
Running the right cellular point of sale system in your wireless store is important. However, many small businesses make an investment in systems that they then find they're unable to operate to their full potential. The many business software packages on the market comprise the full scale of user-operability, and finding one that matches your business' capabilities is critical.
A wireless point of sale system doesn't have to be inordinately complicated. It must, however, employ accurate data management, sound information security measures, and be scalable to whatever level of business growth you may experience. With all of that said, these systems don't have to be incomprehensible to the average employee.
Basically, a POS system is one which allows you to manage client information with greater ease, not more complication. The right cellular point of sale software, then, is one which operates on an intuitive platform. In the ever-changing workplace, an interface that doesn't require much training is best.
The Wireless Manager's Cellular Point of Sale Choice
As a manager, you need to think about projected training times and user comprehension. Remember that some software packages that boast unusual levels of complexity may not afford your business the simplicity of use that you require. An excellent software solution will benefit your business for years to come.
Cell Phone POS
A good cell phone POS system does more than just streamline the payment process. Because a cellular store grows so quickly and deals with such a high volume of customers, its needs are unique. A wireless dealer needs to find business solutions that can keep pace with their companies and also improve day-to-day operations.
The flow of new customers can be overwhelming. The proper cell phone POS system will streamline the process by which you accept payments by utilizing advanced set-up capabilities. When you encounter brand-new accounts and plans, you should be able to quickly input information without slowing down for the traditional paperwork.
As you certainly already know, there are different types of new customers. Besides the regular kind of sale, you encounter both pre-paid and post-paid activations. Handling every category of new customer with speed and clarity can be tougher than it seems!
Streamline the New Client Process with a Cell Phone POS System
Could it really be as easy as inputting simple information and then hitting 'return'? Some of the new software packages are programmed to immediately extract all relevant information to each appropriate section of your database, while you simply complete the transaction quickly and efficiently. Your customers will notice and respond to your business's prompt and effective service.
