Point-of-sale
Software for the Palm Computing Platform
Are you selling products at trade shows or expos? Taking orders from
customers in their home or office? Submitting bids or issuing quotations
in a field situation? Delivering product and need to issue a receipt?
For all these situations and more, Take An Order!
is the handheld tool you need. Combined with any Palm Computing platform
handheld device including barcode scanning SPT units from Symbol Technologies
and a portable printer like the Canon BJC-55 or Brother MPrint, Take
An Order! gives you an office that travels with you.
New Features!!!
Support for the SDIO "InHand Scan Card" from Socket Communications, enabling a wide variety of PalmOS handhelds to be used for barcode scanning.
Support (via the separately sold "plug-in" application "MSR") for the Symbol Magnetic Stripe Reader MSR 3000, capable of reading credit card information directly into a Symbol SPT 17xx or SPT 18xx.
PalmOS 5.x compatibility
Take An Order! starts with your own product catalog,
downloaded from your PC, with dozens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of items.
Select items from the catalog by scrolling down the list, or use our IntelliScroll(tm) technology to scroll right to the item you want
just by tapping on the first letter of the item - no Graffiti (tm) required!
If you're equipped with a PalmOS handheld equipped for barcode scanning,
it's even easier! Just point the scanner at the product, press the scan button,
and the item is added to the order!
Once
you've put together your order, quotation, or delivery report, you can refine it.
Add a discount for the order from a pop-up list (you can even add positive "discounts"
for "cost-plus" pricing), add tax or shipping as appropriate. Mark the
order as a cash, check, or credit card sale, or as an quotation, invoice, or purchase
order.
For credit card sales, you'll even get a popup form which
lets you key in the customer's name, credit card number and expiration date so you
don't need to carry a credit card imprinting machine. For sales by check or purchase
order, the same form lets you record the relevant number.
If you have a Symbol SPT17xx or 18xx unit, and the Symbol MSR magnetic swiper, entering credit card numbers is even easier, with the addition of our auxialiary MSR software - just swipe the card and that's it!
If
you're dealing with an existing customer base, just tap on the "Sold To"
button and you'll see your entire Palm Address Book. Our unique IntelliScroll
technology lets you scroll right to the name you're looking for without needing
to use Graffiti.Just tap on the customer and their name and address is added to
the receipt or quotation you'll be printing out. If that customer has a standard
discount, the order will be automatically set to indicate that.
Ready to print? Just point your unit at an appropriate printer and away you go! Take An Order! is configured to print receipts (quotations, invoices,
delivery reports) on plain paper (either full width or receipt printer paper), as well
as on pre-printed forms which already have your company logo, terms and conditions, etc.
for a more formal appearance. Take An Order! uses
our PalmPrint software
to do its printing, which means it will print via infrared (IrDA), Bluetooth, and serial (or parallel)
technology, and will print to a wide variety of printers - HP, Lexmark, Epson, Canon,
Citizen, or any PostScript printer (an extensive list of supported printers is here).

Want to learn more about Take An Order!?
We've tried to keep this page simple, but the complete manual for Take
An Order! is part of the download when you download the software (see below).
Even if you don't have a Palm, there are plenty of screen shots, so you can see everything
the software can do, and how easy it is to use.
Want to try Take An Order! yourself?
You can download Take An Order! and put it through
its paces without a Serial Number (password). There are some limitations (you can only
select from the first ten items in your product catalog, and your receipts will have
on them a notice that your copy of the software is unlicensed), but you'll be able to
fully evaluate what Take An Order! can do for you
and your business. Download now.
Want to learn more about PalmOS handhelds?
Our software runs on the Palm operating system (PalmOS). PalmOS is developed by PalmSource, and is licensed for use on handheld devices made by palmOne (including the Treo, Zire, and Tungsten lines), Handspring (now part of palmOne), Sony, Symbol (some models), Kyocera, Samsung, and others. A complete, current list of licensees, with links to their respective websites, can be found here.
Take An Order!
is enhanced to take advantage of barcode-scanning capability, which means that if you have a PalmOS handheld equipped with a barcode scanner, the software will operate even more efficiently (although it definitely works without barcode scanning on "normal" PalmOS handhelds). There are a variety of options for barcode scanning using PalmOS handhelds; you can read all about them here.
