Peach Software Inventory system has Multi Branch capacity.

In the Peach Inventory System you can divide your business into Branches. A Branch can be anything from a fully operational warehouse with staff to stock in a Reps car or even a customer who holds some of your stock on consignment. Although these numerous scenarios require very different setups, they can have their own stock re order levels, performance reporting, bin locations and transaction counters. The transactions from these branches can also be tagged to flow to their own GL code for the P&L reports.

Let’s Talk about Consignment or Branch Areas

The Label Consignment Areas originated from Clients wanting to provide consignment stock to their customers. It’s decades since its inception and has evolved a great deal. There have been many changes and improvements I’d like to summarise in this video.

Online Ordering

Peach Software is a hosted SAAS application – There is no need for an on-premise server.

If you prefer an on-premise server – You will require a Microsoft 2019Server or newer with SSL Certificate attached to a valid hostname and accessible.

Workstations: Windows 11

Workstations

Peach Software has two modes of operation.

• Application Mode – For devices running the Windows operating system.
• Web Browser Mode – For any other device which can run the Chrome Browser.

We strongly recommend Windows 11 Workstations for internal day to day operators, as there are some elements of Peach not available on Non Windows Devices due to Browser Security policies that we have no control over such as printing a document without opening it through a viewer first. Call and talk to us if you need more information.

Reps using tablets or Smart Phones in the field can perform live Ordering or Invoicing then email the transaction directly to the client making it unnecessary to print the transaction.

Security is tight as there is no need for operators to log into the server to use the software. They simply enter their username and password and voilà. Just as easy as they connect and operate you have the control at your fingertips to block them instantly. Read More about Hardware Requirements

Is PeachV12 a Hosted Application? Your Choice !

A Hosted Application simply means that your Application and Data is stored on a remote physical server, somewhere on the Internet.

With Peach V12, you decide where you want your data. You can Host your data within your own operation or on a Cloud server. If you prefer a Hosted Service then we would recommend an Australian Service so that Senior support people and scheduled maintenance is based on local time. Often with international sites their 24 Hour support is of a lower standard during our business hours , being their after hours.

Either way, you can Operate & Print from any location in the World without Server Sessions or VPN’s. Much more secure than other methods as no path to data is open.

Hosting Available

You have the choice of choosing your own Virtual Server provider or one that we have already made arrangements with. We have negotiated with this supplier for a realistic price. It will be a yearly invoice from $650 for Lite Hosting or $1190.00 for Pro Hosting. Prices Include g.s.t. NOTE: We are not the providers and don’t warrant or guarantee this service but have found the providers service and product to be reliable. The servers are based in Australia

The provider we use is VMCentral. You can check the product out at www.vmcentral.com.au

*Pro Hosting is required for company’s with 4+ Users

Reliable Internet Connection

Understand that once your system is on a cloud server your internet connection becomes critical to running your business. Any internet failure will stop you from trading. You may want to consider the reliability of your internet provider and consider a Modem that can use a sim card in the event of a failure.

Our Hosting Service includes an Automated Backup Service as well Click here for Cloud Backup Information

Automated Backups

There are many Automated Cloud Backup Services around, and you are welcome to choose one yourself, however we have searched and tested to find a reliable provider

The product we have selected is iDrive. Peach Software has partnered with iDrive and purchased a sizeable amount of space in order to pass this service onto our clients at a reasonable price. Peach Software would like to acknowledge that we are not the providers, and don’t warrant or guarantee this service but have found the providers service and product to be reliable and we will keep monitoring the service to ensure ongoing reliability.

If you would like us to include you in this service, please email. The charge to setup & monitor the service and backup Peach related files is $390.00 / Year Inc. g.s.t. This provides 15GB of space which we have determined is enough to include the last 12 monthly folders, History Files, Reference files, Databases and Product Pictures plus more. As part of this service, Peach Software can retrieve these from iDrive on your behalf should your hardware be compromised or destroyed. More space is available should you require it and multiple devices can be backed up including phones. All data backed up is encrypted.

• Extra devices $195.00 / Year / Device
• Extra Storage $50.00 / Year / 10G

Once initiated the service will take multiple snapshots a day of all Peach related files which have changed.

This Service and the Warrantee for this service provided by Peach Software is limited to Initial Setup, Monitoring, Support & Assistance if recovery is necessary. In the case of a recovery an IT person will still be required to recover and re setup the hardware for a new Peach installation. Whilst Peach Software takes all care possible, it does not warrantee the iDrive service itself.
