TrackerSuite.Net 2.0 Released

The latest release of TrackerSuite.Net includes new modules and an array of innovative features for management and streamlined workflow.

TrackerSuite.Net 2.0 introduced three new modules to the TrackerSuite.Net product family:

• Support Tracker.Net - A Web based help desk system.
• Asset Tracker.Net - A Web based asset database system.
• Payment Tracker.Net - A check request system that provides a means to procure items outside the typical purchasing routine.
