2. Why should I choose Profits Plus™ ?
As a business grows, it is imperative to operate effectively and efficiently. Profits Plus™ helps your company achieve operational excellence.
The on-line Order Processing module provides information on your delivery obligations, and also facilitates increased delivery capacity.
The Inventory Control module gives you the ability to pro-actively manage your inventory. The on-line inventory control module updates inventory
in real-time as orders are entered.

Modules such as Job Tracking let you efficiently manage custom jobs increasing profitability and customer satisfaction.

The Accounts Payable/Receivable and General Ledger modules provide a snapshot of your company's fiscal health at your fingertips. This lets you make business decisions in minutes (as opposed to days) if you use an external accounting service. Over time, service costs associated with such accounting services outweigh the costs associated with the system deployment and maintenance investment. The system also lets you establish internal standards and procedures that are easy to execute. For example, the unique design of the general ledger module eliminates the typical "month-end rush". This means that you do not have to close the books on the last day of the month as in other accounting packages, resulting in a stress-free, end-of-month procedure.

"Reprographics is only part of my business. Do I need something else for my other business areas?"
No. MV Software has established strong relationships with clients in the areas of Digital Imaging Services, Manufacturing, and Wholesale/Retail Distribution. These relationships enable us to understand client needs and then convert them into compelling business solutions. Running its own business with Profits Plus and internally supporting its sister companies, MV Software understands the fundamentals of operational challenges that a business faces on a daily basis.

Software developed by MV Software is created and delivered with the highest level of quality. Developing a software package is relatively easy. Testing it and making sure that it functions accurately in all circumstances, however, is a much greater challenge. While constantly adding new features and functionality, the core of the system is stable and time-tested that operates with complete reliability.

For example, the development of an e-forms integration enabling Profits Plus to deliver custom forms electronically using email, fax, and laser printing has been released for a while now. This builds upon the existing delivery of plain paper forms via email, fax, and laser printing.

Also completed in the recent past is the next generation of MVS UDA. This technology enables the seamless support of MySQL relational database technology for Profits Plus™. 

A direct impact of this is for us to be able to integrate Profits Plus™ with our other application, Maxene Reporter™ and facilitate the creation of our web services platform, MVSWeb™. 

Finally we have also recently released Profits Plus™ Web Services.  This is under the umbrella of the MVSWeb™ platform, and enables third-party applications to direct integrate with the Profits Plus™ application using standard web technologies and protocols.  This is already in production and running or a distribution company using a third-party catalog application that stores product content.

The next set of planned developments includes the creation of helper applications and more enhanced web integration into the base software.
