The extras module on the menu bar has a number of utility options that can be put to use, in order to communicate different kinds of information, news/bulletins , upcoming promotions for customers  and anything that is important enough for the business and the people involved.


Using the extras section helps create a pro active approach which helps keeping up with inventory demand in a timely manner through task management for your employees.


An example can be, a manager assigning an employee a task for ordering new inventory for the store, news that needs to be sent to all the employees and managers, can be done through the bulletin feature.


Easy to use smart sheet, smart word, note pad for taking notes and a smart PDF viewer gives you an array of options to work with.
