Getting Started with Office Express

Thank you for your interest in Office Express! As you will see, by the name of the software product, Office Express has been designed to automate most of your office work.

This section describes what you will need to begin using Office Express.  

Office Express Overview

Briefly, Office Express is a software tool that was designed for you to schedule the work you will be doing BEFORE you actually do it.

If you have a service business like a Landscaping business, you probably know 80% or more of the work you will do each year. The Office Express concept is to schedule as much work before hand as possible. By doing this, when you are the busiest your office work is the least.

Once your work has been scheduled, all you need to do during your season is “tag” the work you completed and log in customer payments. With this information provided, Office Express can then automatically generate invoices for all your customers with a couple of mouse clicks!

Unlike other major software products where you have to type in everything you want to invoice a customer for, Office Express is loaded with features to remove most typing. In fact it’s faster to go back to hand writing your invoices with these type of programs.

What You'll Need to Get Started

If you are converting from another software program that Office Express supports importing data from you won’t need anything. Go to the section on Importing Data from Other Applications,

If you are entering your customer data then what you will need is to gather as much information about your customers as you can. You will be entering:

Customer names, addresses, phone #’s, tax type, service day and so on

You will also schedule jobs for each customer defining the job, price, how many times the job will be done, tax type and more.

TIP: To make the data entry process faster, be sure to have the customer information listed above available. Organize your paperwork! It is better to be more organized and a bit slower in the beginning.

Importing Data from Another Software Application

If you are converting from another product that Office Express can import data from, you have  it easy. Office Express will do all the work for you automatically!

To Import from another product:

1.        Start Office Express

2.        Click the File option

3.        Select Import Data

4.        A list of programs that Office Express supports will be listed, select the old program where your data is.

Get a cup of coffee and your done. In a few minutes, your customer data will have been brought into Office Express.
