Love designing, hate the maths?
Want to take orders more professionally?
BalloonBase is a specialist software program for balloon businesses, suitable for all levels from professional bespoke decorators to retailers who take orders of any type.
With BalloonBase, you can keep track of all your orders and designs, from simple deliveries right through to bespoke on-site decoration projects.
There are two versions to choose from: 'BalloonBase' and 'BalloonBase Pro'. Although you can track orders and enter design descriptions in the basic version, only BalloonBase Pro includes the facility to build and cost your own designs. If you have photographs available, either version can be used as a professional presentation tool to present designs to prospective customers.
Designed with the help and guidance of experienced retail balloon specialists, the program has an easy-to-use Windows format with helpful prompts wherever necessary.
Both products are in the final design stages and will be available shortly following a live retail test period. The Zapcode option will also be available.

What it's not...
BalloonBase is not a substitute for an accounting or retail till system.
What it is...
BalloonBase is a product that has been designed to take the hard work out of balloon design calculations. It will also take care of all your customer orders, whether fancy or straightforward, act as a professional presentation portfolio and provide you with useful management information to help you develop and grow your business.
Where it's going...
With the support of trade professionals like QBN, we hope to be able to supply BalloonBase with some cost and balloon statistics pre-loaded. We also aim to provide a facility for new recipes to be supplied on disk/via e-mail.
