Great Quality Master Builder Reports Every time!
By Jim Schuett

WHAT MAKES A GOOD REPORT?
Below are the points I work by:

1. EASY TO READ - Reports must be easy to read in order to find the vital information quickly, so time isn’t wasted. It is one thing to get alot of information on the page. A whole other thing making that information intuitive, simple and easy on the eyes. Creating great reports is an art, combining organized thinking, space-planning, and proper visual-flow.
We have spent years learning this art to give you reports you love.

2. EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE OF MASTER BUILDER – Knowing how Master Builder “ticks” is crucial to creating solid working reports. Master Builder is a “Table-Based” software, and these tables are used to create reports. Knowing what tables can work together, even though they are not linked, allows creation of reports that can save the Client thousands of profit dollars. Dont you really want to trust the best?

3. WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU NEED (EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW YOU NEED IT)! – Having managed several construction companies over the years, I know what info you need to have available to make those important daily and long-range business decisions, and having worked with you every day for the last 7 years has given me additional insight to your specific needs. Let me use my experience for you.

4. RELENTLESS EFFORT TO SATISFY – Great customer service is easy. Be warm when you talk with a customer, Be informative and helpful each time you talk to your customer. Simple equation really.

I like to take it a step further and am proud of our “Relentless effort to Satisfy” our customers need. Making sure you are extremely happy with the report result is our main concern. We are committed to providing our customers total satisfaction and Top Notch Service each and every time. Guaranteed!

Try us! You will be pleased!

Sage Master Builder Version 14
CUSTOM REPORTS CAN BE FIXED – September 4, 2009
By Jim Schuett, Sage Master Builder Report Writer

The new version (v14) of Sage Master Builder has some great improvements. One of the v14 issues for Master Builder users are some custom reports are not working properly, due to incorrect SQL statements imbedded in the report. These are repairable.

I have been contacted by many Master Builder users after they have installed v14, asking for help fixing their custom reports (written by others). I have found that most of the repairs can be quick fixes.

I charge “$45 Per Report” for most simple repairs.
More complicated problem reports will be estimated on a case by case basis.

All 250 Custom Reports on My Website have been Tested & Work in SMB v14
• I’ve thoroughly tested all 250+ reports available on my website;
All work perfectly in Version 14. (This is after a couple “tweeks” on 4 or 5 reports.)
• You can feel confident that any custom reports you purchase from www.JimSchuettDesigns.com will work perfectly in v14, and you need not be concerned about the new SMB platform changes.

Sage Master Builder Reports 50% OFF!

ENDED 8/23/09

These are difficult times for everyone.

Almost all companies have cut back on staff,
and just about everything else.
Many good companies are gone.

The normal cost of custom reports
just doesn’t fit in today’s budgets.

There IS something I can do,
if you still have a need for reports.

Effective Wednesday, August 5, 2009:

1. I can reduce the prices by 50% on my existing reports,
on the website so they can be more affordable now when you need them.

2. I can reduce my hourly charge by 50% for custom report work.
(was $150/hr, now $75/hr)

I hope this will help you and your business during this tough time,
and I wish you the best, and a speedy recovery for us all.
