DataSafe is a database designed to track and report the information required to keep good client records. It is not an accounting solution

That being said, you can generate invoices, keep track of payments made and payments due. Depending on your needs, this might well be all you require in this area.

In our own photography business we simply print out our DataSafe invoicing reports and send them to our accountant.

The Letters & Emails section of DataSafe manages your client correspondence. You can send an email, or send multiple emails - great for sales offerings

DataSafe is not an email application, and it is not designed to accept incoming emails.

However, sending emails out to your clients is easy - you already have their details entered into DataSafe

When everything is finished, DataSafe will update the color coding from red to green. Easy!
