<P class=MsoNormal>Hi guys. I’ve been talking to my brother-in-law (who is
a programmer) about creating a customer database for my business. It would
of course have all the usual fields concerning customer information, piano
information and date the piano was last tuned. The thing I’m really
wanting that I haven’t seen in other software programs is for it to send me
reminders based on when the piano was last tuned instead of when it should have
been tuned. For example, I have a customer set up for reminders every 6
months. If they wait a couple of months to have their piano tuned, I want
the program to automatically shift future reminders based on their most recent
tuning date. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In addition to this, we’re working on a feature that would
automatically send e-mail reminders to customers. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This information would hopefully be transferrable to a
spreadsheet on my PocketPC then I could also conceivably enter the info at the
customer’s home and then sync it with the main database when I get home.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Has anyone seen a piece of software like this? I don’t
want to reinvent the wheel. <o:p></o:p></P>
