Ever wish you could use your Rent-to-Own software to directly email invoices to customers? What if you could boost store traffic by sending a promotional letter to all your customers with a just few mouse clicks?

RTO Pro Software's 800-plus users now can with the newest release of RTO Pro.

RTO Pro's new version, available at www.rtopro.com, includes 21 program enhancements-most importantly the integrated capability to email customer invoices and form letters (see sample invoice).

"This new email functionality is just another example of how RTO Pro is able to use advanced Windows technology to meet the growing operational needs of the RTO Industry", says Ron Ganus, former RTO owner and current President of RTO Pro Software.

"Basic email capability has been a feature of RTO Pro for a long time, but the emailing of invoices and form letters was a recent customer request which once started, actually only took a few hours to complete. That's one of the benefits of developing in Windows ," Ganus explained. "Development goes much faster than the same project in older platforms like DOS or Unix and that translates into another big benefit – savings, which RTO Pro pass directly to its end-users as lower costs."

According to Ganus, most software packages capture and store customers' email addresses in the database, but do little with them from within the system. RTO Pro is unique, however, in offering many time-saving and cost-cutting ways to actually use this valuable information:

-- Individual Emails – From a customer's payment screen simply click email, and RTO Pro allows the user to send a customized email to that individual customer. It's a quick and affordable way to build relationships through a short "Happy Birthday" or "How's the game on your new TV?"
-- Emailing of Invoices – For users that want to save postage costs and go green, RTO Pro now allows the option to email invoices. From the payment screen email individual invoices or from the customer menu run invoices and email an entire batch at once. (Sample invoice pictured)
-- Collections Emails -Filter delinquent accounts by the number of days late, and email a differently-worded delinquency letter to each group. Emailing is an inexpensive yet invaluable tool in any account manager's toolbox.
-- Promotional Emails – Run a list of all active customers or filter current accounts by type, birth date or agreement date. Email to the list any promotional letter designed to boost store traffic and increase rentals – choose from subjects like "$5 of First Week's Rent", "$10 Referral Fees Paid", "Customer Appreciation Day Sale" and more.
-- Transfer Emails – Transferring inventory no longer involves sending disks to the other store which often get lost or damaged. In RTO Pro simply email the transfer file to the receiving store and it automatically updates that stores inventory.
