ClientConnect is an Additional Module you can add to your Design Manager program for an additional monthly charge.

 

It is a great tool available to keep you connected to your clients at all times. You can give a client access to View, Print and Pay* their Proposals and Invoices right from the Internet.  There are also Status Reports that allow the client to view up-to-date information on their Project Items all while in the comfort of their own home.

 

*You MUST sign up with our merchant services company to take payments over the web site. Payments made online will be automatically sent back and will update your Design Manager software accordingly.
