TRACKING DELIVERY
One of the disappearing aspects to model agency solutions are good Reporting tools. At each stage of the model agency structure, each user should have a quick glance ability to see their business activity. Bookers should see their models' schedules, whose in town or out, model document info, events, etc. Furthermore, Agency Directors should be able to quickly see all business activity of bookers and models at a glance.
Novus includes the "Dashboard" which servers as basically your homepage to the system. Depending on your user role you can click through the tabs and see everything that is going on. Furthermore, we have sprinkled in other "reporting" features throughout the program. For instance, if you are viewing a list of your models, we have included one click buttons to see each of their schedules for today, tomorrow, this week, next week, and on and on.
There are many tried and true accounting platforms available that model agencies use. We know that agencies have built up a familiarity with these tools, so we don't expect people to switch just because they like the features of Novus. Therefore, we have made it even easier for you to "map" your accounting to Novus for seamless interaction.
We can't talk all the credit for this innovation, because most accounting tools offer an easy to use import/export or fully integration tool. Our job was just to have a database structure and external tool that allows us to link up with your preferred accounting tool.

You can type in whatever you like, save, and saves the note along with the date and time that you saved it.
