Customers save over $241,000 on SmarterTools products


We recently renewed our partnership with SmarterTools (official press release). Back in February some of you may recall I posted how we had sold over $415,000 worth of SmarterTools products. I have received our August statement from SmarterTools (and that figure has gone up even more). This time I will focus on the SmarterBundle report.

We have assigned over $163,000 worth of SmarterBundle's to our customers (The SmarterBundle represents $800 worth of software supplied to customers at no extra cost who spend at least $199.00 with ServerTastic).

On top of the fantastic SmarterBundle promotion we also sell SmarterTools products at a 10% discount. Using the numbers from these reports (and a calculator) I have come up with some interesting figures.

If our customers had paid full price for all the SmarterTools products we have sold and SmarterBundles assigned they would have paid just over $946,000 (aiming for $1m by the end of the year!)

If I then calculate the discounts it shows we have saved our customers approximately $241,000!

Have you had the benefit of saving money with ServerTastic? Let us know!

SmarterMail 7.x Released


The latest version of SmarterMail has been released. Below is a quick FAQ of questions we have been asked and anticipate.

How do I get the latest version?
You can upgrade to the latest version if you have current upgrade protection. Simply download and install the new version to upgrade your existing installation.

I have upgrade protection so how do I get my SmarterMail 7 key?
Your key does not change. The licensing server is updated to allow your key to run a v7 installation. Simply install and activate v7 with your existing key.

How do I renew my upgrade protection?
You can renew your upgrade protection here. You must renew your upgrade protection before it expires to qualify for the discounted renewal pricing. You can renew up to 60 days before expiry. THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD.

I do not have upgrade protection how do I upgrade?
You must purchase upgrade protection to be able to perform the upgrade. If you do not have any upgrade protection then you must purchase expired upgrade protection.

I can not upgrade my SmarterMail installation from a SmarterBundle?
The SmarterBundle does not include upgrade protection. You will have to purchase upgrade protection to be able to upgrade.

Can I just purchase a one off upgrade?
All SmarterTools products now come with upgrade protection. This covers your product for 12 months with unlimited upgrades at no extra charge. It is not possible to purchase one off upgrades.

Can I downgrade my mailbox limits?
It is not possible to reduce the mailbox limits of a particular key. If you have a 1000 mailbox key then you must purchase upgrade protection for 1000 mailboxes. Alternatively it may be cheaper to purchase a new lower limit key.

Do you offer a discount to upgrade?
We offer a 10% discount on all SmarterTools products including upgrade protection.

I have more questions!
Feel free to leave a comment or contact us.

SmarterTrack customer portal now has mobile interface


         
SmarterTrack the customer service portal from SmarterTools now has a mobile interface after the recent V5 update. The mobile interface allows agents to check and respond to customer tickets, transfer tickets and change the ticket status. Above are some screenshots taken from my iPhone to show the interface in action.

This is a fantastic feature to allow agents quick and easy mobile access to the support ticket system. Once you have updated your installation to V5 simply point your mobile web browser to <yoursupporturl>/mobile/ .

There are some enhancements I would like to see, but since this is a first release I am sure they will be added in the future.

  • No access to custom fields
  • No option to delete a ticket or mark as spam
  • iPhone copy option does not work when viewing a ticket

The mobile interface is only available from V5. To be able to update your SmarterTrack installation you must have current upgrade protection. This is available from ServerTastic at 10% discount.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

System Migration Complete


We have completed a migration of the ServerTastic system. As a result the web site access speeds have been vastly improved. Although customers accessing the site via the old system may experience some slow speeds as the database is accessed remotely. Once your DNS has updated the speed will improve (should be no more than a couple of days).

Orders which are completed via the automated system should also occur much quicker. This includes orders for SSL Certificates, SmarterTools and DotNetPanel.

SmarterTools Reseller Performance


Over the years we have sold many products on ServerTastic. One of the companies we have worked with from the start has been SmarterTools. They produce an awseome range of products including SmarterMail (a highly efficient mail server with ActiveSync support), SmarterStats (a mega powerful web site statistics package with SEO reporting) and SmarterTrack (a customer service portal as used on ServerTastic).

This morning I received an email from them detailing my current reseller performance (we have to meet certain quarterly sales targets). In the summary was the lifetime total products sold. I have done a screen grab below as I could not believe it myself!


Yes we have sold $415,351.96 worth of SmarterTools products! This proves a number of things. 
  • SmarterTools produce fantastic products
  • It was the right decision to become a reseller. We have also renewed our partnership for another year; Press Release.
  • You (our customers) clearly love the products (and I am grateful you chose ServerTastic as your reseller)
