  • HTML output file format

  • Improved time efficiency!

eFORMz, the most comprehensive electronic forms solution available for HPe3000, HP9000, iSeries(AS/400), Sun, Linux, or Windows computer systems.

eFORMz is designed to provide users with a flexible and dynamic tool for creating custom reports fast and easy right from your own office.

eFORMz does not require you to learn a new forms design tool. Instead, you design your forms in a favorite word processor (ie: Microsoft Word, WordPerfect), desktop publisher (ie: PageMaker, QuarkXPress), or drawing package (ie: CorelDraw). Once the form is drawn, simply print it from the Windows application. eFORMz then captures the output and adds the electronic form to its library.

eFORMz is designed to integrate with output from virtually any software application and offers forms for the industry's most popular packages including:

  • Escalate Retail (formerly Ecometry)
  • Summit (Spectrum)
  • Baan
  • Amisys
  • Lawson
  • ManMan
  • QAD
  • DataNOW
  • Growth Power
  • MAPICS

eFORMz easily handles bar codes, checks, endorsements, multi-part forms, duplex printing, color printing, and company logos.
