Features Review

CodecSoft is a standalone piece of software, operating on a single workstation which allows recording basic activities normally happening in a GSM Service Center throughout the working day, such as repair & unlock activities along with the customer information for each activity.

Once all the information has been entered, the software automatically creates a receipt for you to give to the customer. Each job entered into the software gets its own job ID, making it easier for you to track the phone throughout the repair process.

When the repair has been processed, the software then automatically creates an invoice. If your shop requires identification from the owner of a phone, or a proof of purchase before you service their handset then there is an option to input such information. This feature is also present in the module which handles the purchasing of phones from customers.

CodecSoft complies with latest UK regulations of the Crime Prevention Police Unit regarding recording any repairs/unlocks/purchases/sales of mobile phones and related products or services.

The software gives you the ability to digitally record information when purchasing or servicing phones. You can log information such as their name, address, telephone number and with the use of a digital camera/webcam take a photograph of the customer.

All of the forms created by the software have the option for a company disclaimer. This can cover information regarding payment for services, who is liable in the event of a handset becoming blacklisted and confirmation of ownership. All of which can be modified easily to suit your shops requirements.

CodecSoft has bar code scanner features and comes initialized with more than 600 phone models all with pictures, 46 of the most common faults, 30 service actions, different quality grades, different GSM operators and ID proof types.

All of the above can be edited, deleted or have new records created. For example, if a new phone is released on the market, you can manually update the phone on your software. The same applies for acceptable identification, you can change the default accepted ID to whichever identification your company wishes to accept.

CodecSoft is currently available in English, German, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese. If your language is not supported by the software, then you can create the language file for the software yourself with tools available in the support section. Any translations which are compiled, once e-mailed to us and been verified may be added to new releases of the software.

Using the same tools you will also be able to modify existing language packs to suit your own requirements, therefore giving you the ability to choose the appropriate wording to appear in the menus of the software. An example is by default, a repair entry is labeled as "Customer Phone Repair", this could be changed to "Repair" or any other word you see appropriate.
