Seven Lakes Software Releases Distribute 1.1

Seven Lakes Software has announced Distribute 1.1, a significant update to its professional level, single-user inventory and purchase/sale manager for Mac OS X. Developed from the ground up utilizing the latest Cocoa technologies, Distribute is an easy-to-use merchandise manager with powerful price and inventory features. It features direct integration with OS X Address Book and Mail, supports any currency, tax system, price/rebate scheme as well as unlimited stocks. Users can also customize Distribute's document layouts with their own PDF backgrounds.

Trading firms, service oriented companies, universities, distribution networks and every small business alike will appreciate how Distribute operates very consistently in all of its functions, and feels like a true Mac application. Among the application's most prolific features is that all of its document types, such as quotes, delivery notes or purchase orders, work exactly the same. This "Seen One, Seen 'em All" philosophy allows users to learn Distribute within minutes and to process purchases and sales very fast and easily.

"You won't believe how many users dislike the ERP/inventory software they're forced to use every day," said Norbert Weiss, founder of Seven Lakes Software e.U. "What was missing was kind of an “iApp for trading firms”. It took me about three years for learning, evaluating and programming on Distribute. It was a huge project and it was a challenge to hide the complexity of such an app to make it very easy to use. But that's exactly what I wanted, a simple yet powerful easy to use inventory manager for small businesses using Macs."
