Christian James Inc. recently announced an update to its cloud-based retail service for independent retailers. The most significant changes to the software include the addition of time card tracking, repair order tracking, and a customer loyalty feature which provides simplistic monitoring of customer purchase activity.

"We are just now harnessing our platform's ability to quickly generate features for our customers," says Chris Peterson, co-founder and CEO of Christian James Inc. "We've added some very popular features and are set to offer many more exciting capabilities in the coming months."

By using Servoy, a rapid application development tool, the company has been making significant enhancements to PayGo SaaS in a fraction of the time traditional products are designed.

"These new features are giving our customers the ability to have all of their key information available in real-time," Peterson says. "And because we host on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, they can have stores all over the world, and PayGo SaaS will have up-to-the-minute data on sales, orders, hours worked, and much more."

The product is built on the software as a service model, so the new features are available immediately to all PayGo SaaS customers, which includes both Macintosh and Windows clients.
