RMI Corporation Releases ADVANTAGE 2009 AI5

April 21, 2011 - PRLog -- RMI is pleased to announce the release of Application Improvement 5 for ADVANTAGE 2009 SP1.  This is RMI’s first quarter release for 2011.

Rental ADVANTAGE Improvements

Generating rental invoices has always been easy with ADVANTAGE, and with Application Improvement 5, it’s even easier!  We’re excited to introduce automated invoice posting, which produces rental invoicing on a schedule you create.  Imagine coming into the office each morning and your rental invoices are completed and ready to go to customers.  When you combine this feature with RMI’s Email Invoicing, those invoices generated during the evening hours can already be in the “hands” of your customers before you’ve had your first cup of coffee.

With this release, ADVANTAGE provides greater control over the rental invoices produced.

• For businesses taking advantage of Rental Work Orders, you may choose to close pending Return Work Orders prior to billing.  This new feature can be very useful in reducing credits or billing corrections when customers schedule partial returns of equipment close to their billing anniversary date.

• Organizations billing in advance of the next rental term often produce invoices a few days before the billing anniversary date.  To better control just how far in advance your team may bill, this release includes an optional setup to limit the reach of the billing routine.  For example, control the reach by 2 days, 1 week, or any term of your choosing.

Making sure you have the right equipment in your rental fleet is more important than ever.  Enhancements to the Fixed Asset Margin report aid in identifying those units that are under performing.  This report now offers an optional Return on Investment filter, allowing you to focus on equipment generating the lowest returns.

Role Center Improvements

Role Centers are the latest in User Menus that focus your staff on their key responsibilities based on their job description.  RMI delivers ADVANTAGE with predefined Role Centers and can work with you to meet the structure of your team.  With this release, RMI continues to extend the Role Center functionality of ADVANTAGE in the areas of Equipment Transfers, Rental Service & Dispatch, IFTA reporting, Barcode Scanning, and general Rental ADVANTAGE functionality so it falls more closely in line with its classic menu offering.

Additionally, the Rental Billing Clerk Role Center received additional enhancements this quarter to support extended billing and crediting capabilities.
