George the Window Cleaner’s Assistant

Commerce is one of the many areas that is greatly enhanced by computers. Specialized applications help create inventory databases, invoices and reports, with some focusing on specific types of businesses. For instance, we’re going to ask George the Window Cleaner’s Assistant what exactly it is that keeps him alive.

Right after George gets familiar with your system (the setup process is complete), you can go ahead and see what it he can do for you. All of his skills (features) are presented in the list under the form of buttons that trigger new windows with corresponding options.

Pressing the small Show Details button makes George show you a work and income overview for the current week, those to come, months, as well as yearly report. This info panel is fully editable, with the possibility to write down the amount of Work done, as well as Takings, simply by modifying the values fields.

For your business, George is capable of looking after Jobs, Debts, Expenses, Mileage, Reports, and general System options. Navigation is a bit confusing, and difficult at times, with a new window being brought up for each section, while the last is discarded, making it impossible to compare areas or easily borrow data from different places.

Adding details and info doesn’t require much experience, or effort for that matter. The general design makes George practical as an assistant for more than just a window cleaning business. Even though there are several presets in each area, you’re free to add details with values and names as you please, with little to no limitations.

However, George is a bit greedy when it comes to sharing. In other words, export options are rather limited or missing entirely. If you don’t have a connected printer, or at least a virtual one installed, you need to completely rely on George for managing your business.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that George the Window Cleaner’s Assistant offers a helping hand in a bit more areas that what the name suggests, because of the general design. Visuals are simple, which might make some individuals look for alternatives, especially because of requirement fields that are confusing at times, or the overall difficult navigation system.
