Cougar Mountain Integration
Wonderful news - Cougar Mountain Software stores its data in an ODBC compliant files!
So what, you might ask? What this means is that you can connect other programs to your Cougar Mountain data files and get the information directly from the source. Actually, this is not a new development, the software has always been ODBC compliant. By connecting directly to your data files, you have live access to your customer data, inventory, vendors, and all the rest of it. You save time by not having to first export the data, then re-import it into the second application you are running.
By using an ODBC connection, you can:
- Make barcode labels with the information taken directly from your company data files (we recommend using Bartender for this).
- Pull AR Customer data to create custom labels. (or AP Vendor data, or PR Employee data, etc)
- Create custom reports inside an excel spreadsheet, connect an Access database to your data to manipulate it with that.
So if you are interested, but you aren’t sure how to do this - contact our technical support department for assistance.
And if you are new to working with this sort of thing, we recommend you don’t use your real company data until you learn how to do it without breaking anything–use the demo company data instead, or a copy company. And everyone should always have a current backup of your data too.
