  • Networks supported include Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Novell Netware.
  • VisionPoint is compiled in Microsoft's top-end database language, Visual FoxPro 6.0.

Real-time information puts you in control
SBT's advanced real-time capabilities give you instant access to current data.  VisionPoint's Business Status Report lets you check vital company measurements in real time. This unique feature operates like a business thermostat. It checks AR balance, AP balance, month-to-date sales, and cost of goods-even shows projected totals for the month (or any other period).

VisionPoint also provides ReadyView file browsers that give you unlimited data access the way you want to see it. Display any information, in any order, customized for any user. This technology means concise, immediate business management. For example, you can quickly view all of your customers with more than $5000 past due for more than 30 days. SBT's "snapshot" tools turn customer data into business information.
