The whole option, from specifying customer and vehicle details, through adding extras and accessories, to selecting the best finance package, taking payment, and printing the final invoice, is receiving the "Windows Look and Feel", as a step by step "wizard".

At the same time some deficiencies in the existing software will be addressed, such as taking payment before printing the document, so details might be printed; and one major feature added, selling multiple vehicles.

The report will then "just work".

Platinum Development

We are continually refining and developing our software. Updates can be done on as much as a daily basis. We don't 'hold back' software for specific release dates - our software is released as and when it has been written and tested.

All our software, once written, is then reviewed by at least another member of the programming team and, if required, someone from the Customer Support team, as part of a quality checking process that ensures bugs, oversights and errors are kept down to the minimum level that we can achieve.

Current Projects

Platinum O+ e-commerce

Platinum O+ will allow clients to advertise selected stock lines on their own Catalyst-hosted e-commerce website and automatically receive orders into their Platinum Order Processing system.

There will be a choice of website style that can be customised with the clients own colours and logos.

V55 Information Support

With the imminent overhaul to the format of the V55 form, required for all distributors, we're hard at work adding support for all the relevant information to Platinum.

Where before heavily customised reports were required, which needed to be carefully reconfigured each time a manufacturer released a new model, for example, we are aiming for a situation where one report fits all, and all you need to do when a new model comes around is enter that model's details into the usual popup in Platinum. The report will then "just work".

Future Projects

Projects that coming up real fast for development are:
