Wizard International - Computerized Mat Cutters and Framing

MUKILTEO, Wash., August 25, 2006 -- Wizard™ International, Inc. unveiled plans to release a new retail management software platform, Integrated Framer™ Suite. IF Suite is a software package that seamlessly integrates the operations of a frame shop. The introductory release of IF Suite is scheduled for January 2007.

“In the past framers had to patch together software from multiple vendors to run their businesses. With IF Suite you can design a frame job, visualize it for the customer, price it, collect the money and cut the mat without ever re-entering project details into another software program,” said Brian Wolf, CPF, GCF, Wizard’s Director of Standards and Training.

In the future, Wizard™ will release three editions of the Integrated Framer Suite: the Entrepreneur edition, Enterprise edition and Elite edition. Each edition will be specifically designed to meet the needs of different business models. The Entrepreneur edition is tailored towards single frame shops. The Enterprise edition offers crucial management features for multiple location businesses. The Elite edition provides customized software for volume and wholesale operations.

The introductory release is the retail management module which includes pricing and point-of-sale functions. Additional components including customer management, employee management, inventory management, production management, and advanced reporting are already in development.

Wizard™ International, Inc. began selling computerized mat cutters to custom framers in 1994. Today there are over 5,500 Wizard™ mat cutters in use worldwide. Wizard™ is an innovative force in the framing industry and continues to develop new products and services to improve custom framing businesses.
