* Specifying which screens appear when students sign in and the exact kind of information you want to collect for each visit.

* Specifying the information that appears in the student sign-in screens and in many places throughout the application. You can change the sign-in screen announcement, welcome message, sign-in instructions, and even customize your own reports!

* Specifying whether to collect student profile information, and if so, set the profile questions andf answers. This option includes setting up the questions, determining if the answers are required or optional and even setting how the questions look (font, font size, transparency, border, etc.)

* Specifying appointments conditions. For example, what is the minimum and maximum appointment duration, whether one-on-one appointments are allowed, maximum number of students in a group appointment, whether staff can provide more than one service in a single time slot, appointment email confirmations and reminders, appointment no-show window, appointment cancellation policies, and much more.

* Easily importing your students, classes, tutors, class registration, etc. The AccuTrack Import Wizard provides an easy to follow step-by-step process for importing your data. You can decide what fields to import and have them in any order you like. You can also schedule the imports so the data is updated automatically on the times and dates you decide.

* And so much more...

Proven Microsoft Technologies

AccuTrack is developed with a Microsoft's Visual FoxPro fromt-end and uses either a VFP 9 or an MSSQL Server database back-end (depending on the version). The MS SQL Server option provides unparalled speed, security, scalability, and data integrity and is the industry leader in the fast analysis of shared multidimensional data. VFP 9 also includes a powerful database engine. Each table in AccuTrack can be up to 2 gigabyte in size, which means it can hold millions of records or virtually unlimited capacity. Also, both database types integrate very well with other Microsoft applications that use open database connectivity. For example, AccuTrack's traffic analysis module uses Excel pivot tables to provide you with over 10 charts and tables with one button click that analyze many aspects of your traffic patterns all in a single report. These charts are generated within seconds and look amazing in your end of the year reports.
