Can you create reports within Strinos?

Strinos applications have fully integrated, built-in reporting capabilities with extensive data selection, sort specification, and display control capabilities enabling users to generate extremely specific data outputs. Data view screens give users the ability to extensively filter and “drill down” on data without having to print reports. Specific report selection/sort/display specifications may be saved to an unlimited number of report profiles to enable fast, consistent, error-free, generation of repetitive reports.

The user-interface (“front”) end of BSTI is directly integrated with the MS Office suite. This enables users to seamlessly export to Excel, leveraging all graphs, charts, forecasts, and data formatting tools.

Clients who choose MS-SQL-Server for their back-end also have available the full range of MS-Visual Studio reporting capabilities.

How many concurrent users do I need?

One concurrent user license for every simultaneous user that is logged onto your account.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend purchasing 1 user license for every terminal at which you intend to run Strinos.

Example 1:  You intend to run Strinos1) in your back office 2) at your store front and 3) in an administrator office or home.  This will require 3 licenses.  Keep in mind, you may setup an unlimited number of employees (users) at each station but if only 3 people are logged into your account at any given time, you will only need 3 concurrent licenses.

Example 2: You intend to run Strinos1) on two computers in your warehouse / receiving room, 2) three computers in your main office, 3) and you would like to give your three salesmen the opportunity to login directly to your account to view accurate stock levels and enter sales orders (only 2 will be logged in at any give one moment).  In total, this will require 7 licenses.  Keep in mind you may setup an unlimited number of employees with unique security access but you will only be able to have a total of 7 staff members logged into your account simultaneously.
