Question

Answer

Who should look at the Configuration menu?

The buttons in the Configuration menu are designed for someone who is a high-level decision maker since these buttons often affect all sites within the organizational layout. For example, you can change the wash club services rules, and then transfer those parameters to every participating site.

There are three main selections in the Configuration menu. Each selection is focused on a specific activity, such as setting up sales items or club services. Once you have these items set up, you will not need to change the settings very often and will not find yourself visiting this menu group as frequently as the others.

Can I enter new PLUs into the system?

PLUs are managed in the Goods and Services menu group. A product-lookup or PLU is the unique number assigned to a service or item you can sell to a customer. For example, your most basic wash selection might be PLU 1. You can add, edit and delete PLUs.You can set up a 3- or 4-digit PLU coupon code. You can also assign controller services to PLUs. Also, you can create new language settings for a PLU. For example, PLU 1 might be named Exterior Wash for $5.66 with no extra services. For that PLU, you can instruct the Auto Sentry Flex to display the words “Exterior Wash” in English or its translation in Spanish, French or German. The PLU might be tied to outputs services 1 through 32 on the WBC tunnel controller. You can manage all the information for that PLU on one screen, and then apply those settings to all of your sites at one time.

Can I modify club services for all of my sites?

Clubs are managed in the Club Services from the Configuration Goods and Services menu group. For each club, you can assign club pricing, a billing day, a duration, a grace period and redemption rules. The changes you make to one club can be applied to all participating sites.

When will I receive an alert from the system?

The system can send alerts for almost any contingency it detects, whether your bill dispenser is jammed or replication stopped running at a site. The system will email an alert to each address you set up. You can subscribe to all alerts, general categories of alerts or specific alerts for a particular component.

Will the system interface with my accounting software?

Quickbooks, Peachtree, Alere, DataProf, and MAS-90 accounting software are supported. And import function lets you gather data from your accounting package, and then assign predefined WashConnect® account types to the imported data.
