Purchasing A New Computer?
Purchasing a new PC (Personal Computer) can be an overwhelming experience. There are hundreds of makes and models, and thousands of different parts and features that differ from system to system. These guides were written to help any new, or experienced computer user better understand what they need to be looking for when purchasing a new computer for use with FrameReady software.

Networking
All products are capable of networking over 250 computers using a full
version of FileMaker Pro Software, on each computer and FileMaker Server
(recommended for over three computers). If you have multiple locations using a central hub and spoke model you will need to purchase FrameReady Multi
Site. If you have a second or more stores and run them separately, you will need
to purchase a copy of FrameReady for each store.
See the following documents explaining a multi site configuration:
Main Store With Two Computers, Remote Store With One Computer

Bar Code Scanner
All programs have bar code capability for reading UPC labels from corner samples and internal documents. FrameReady can produce it's own retail bar code labels. Items that come with bar codes will need to be scanned into the Products and Price Code files.
Bar Code Scanners may be purchased from SoftTouch Solutions Inc. More details and pricing available on our program fee structure page, located under "Additional Products".
