Funeral Innovations Launches the Industry’s First Completely Open Case Manager
Webster City, IA (PRWEB) January 27, 2010 -- The ability for funeral directors to manage cases online while integrating products from all the major vendors just became a reality with today’s introduction of the FI Open Manager by Funeral Innovations, a leading provider of web-based software solutions for the funeral industry (http://funeralinnovations.com).
Supported on all web browsers, the FI Open Manager allows funeral directors to manage cases (http://funeralinnovations.com/pages/manager) through an easy to use online interface, while integrating with the funeral home’s website to automatically publish obituaries and online tributes.
Through its first-of-a-kind open architecture, the FI Open Manager incorporates the products of all the major vendors in the industry, freeing the funeral director from single vendor “lock-in” and providing their clients with more choices and better options. Using the Manager Kiosk, a point-of-sale product console included in the FI Open Manager, a funeral director can sit with the family to select products and services provided by the funeral home or any of their preferred vendors in an easy and visual step by step manner.
"The FI Open Manager has been designed to be an extremely flexible and powerful tool - both administratively and as a retail presentation of goods and services," according to Tom Frisch, a licensed funeral director for over 20 years and president of Memorialization Advancement Specialists, LLC. "Packaging together any and all products has never been easier for a funeral director."
Built on cutting-edge web technologies, the FI Open Manager leverages “the cloud” to provide funeral directors access to their cases at any time from any browser. With limitless scalability and automatic backups, funeral directors are freed from worrying about computer crashes or data loss.
“Until now, funeral directors were stuck using obsolete technologies to manage their business,” explains Greg Young, CEO of Funeral Innovations. “But now more than ever, funeral directors must embrace the web as a way of reaching more customers and making their business more effective.”
The FI Open Manager enables a funeral director to:
* Manage cases via any web browser
* Publish obituaries and online tributes to their website, on any web host.
* Print all related forms
* Browse and select products in front of the family with the Manager Kiosk
* Choose products from any major vendor
* Try before you buy!
There are 4 pricing packages of the FI Open Manager available to fit all funeral directors' needs and budgets, including a completely free trial.
