G'day everyone,
I have a question for those on the list who run publicly enrolable courses. How
do you handle your bookings?
At the moment we use a combination of nms-formmail, RT, LaTeX, a wiki and
memory. It works but is time consuming. I've done a few web searches but I
haven't found any course booking software which matches what I'm looking for
which has:
* automatic invoice generation (which I can then edit if I want before
printing)
* automatic cover letter and email generation (again editable)
* various status levels: entered into accounting software, paid,
processed, payment reminder sent...
* attendance lists
* book lists (we give out free books as part of our early bird)
* customisable reports; particularly ones which estimate course
profitability, and ones which can be used as reminders to print course
manuals, order books, confirm facilities etc.
etc. I'm considering writing my own as a good way to learn either Jifty or
Catalyst, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone on here had a working solution
already. It doesn't have to do everything, as long as I can customise it.
Failing that, what would you like to see in such a tool?
