Jackrabbit Releases Costume/Apparel Management Enhancement

New Feature Saves Time for Dance Studios, Gymnastics and Cheer Gyms Generating Vendor Orders

CHARLOTTE, NC – November 2, 2008 – Dance studio and Class management software provider, Jackrabbit Technologies, is making life easier for dance studios, gymnastics and cheer gym owners working with costume and apparel vendors with its latest software enhancements. Jackrabbit has listened to the requests of owners and developed the new feature around their specifications so that the new module gives them the management capabilities that best suit the way they gather information and do business with their vendors.

The Jackrabbit costume/apparel module provides four major capabilities:
1) A format for setting up costume/apparel supplier information and each vendor’s specific size chart.
2) A system for organizing information as they gather it that provides a printable worksheet for measurements and sizes
3) The option for auto-sizing size assignments (based solely on girth) or assigning sizes manually.
4) The tools for aggregating sizes into order quantities, tracking items from student to vendor and creating the actual order document to submit to the vendor.

The costume/apparel management features saves precious time for gym owners and managers by organizing their information, automating calculations, tracking and vendor form creation. It also ensures greater accuracy of fit upon order receipt and therefore minimizes the number of size exchanges prior to events.

Above the Barre Dance and Gymnastics was one of several gyms that participated in Jackrabbit’s beta testing of the costume/apparel module. Melanie Ulman, office manager, quickly realized the time savings that the feature enables.

“The new costume module is terrific! It is so easy to set up and use. It saves so much time in the costume ordering process. The costume module is a wonderful addition to the Jackrabbit package,” comments Ulman.

Jackrabbit’s latest module does not require a separate purchase, but is offered as part of its complete class management software package. Existing customers will see new feature automatically at no extra cost. Jackrabbit eliminates complexities in implementing and maintaining its software by offering a single price point for customers that is based on the total number students.

Jackrabbit Technologies provides dance studio and class management software to several types of gyms, schools and organizations, but works directly with those who share their experience, knowledge and talents with students through their dance, gymnastics, cheer schools. The company prides itself on its consistent software enhancements, industry leading customer support and track record for customer satisfaction as well as its attentiveness to need through open lines of communication with customers who are also leading their practice areas in providing quality learning experiences to students.
