A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Sahib Dudani
President & CEO
BatchMaster Software

Dear Valued BatchMaster Customer. I welcome you to our new BatchMaster newsletter! We are happy and excited to introduce our new customer newsletter so that we can keep in touch with you, share news and updates about everything that is happening here at BatchMaster Software and with our products and services.

As with all of you, it hasn’t been business as usual at BatchMaster. These unprecedented times have forced all of us to make changes, sacrifices, and find a new normal, and by no means has the transition been easy for many of us, especially our customers. The BatchMaster team has been working remotely since mid-March, but we are pleased to still be in a fortunate position to continue serving and supporting all our customers, conduct informative product webinars, and we will continue doing so with the only work-a-round being that we had to curtail our travel. We have helped many of our customers with their challenges as many of them are working remotely and needed access to their BatchMaster system. We have even helped them with their at-home BatchMaster printing needs. This all re-affirms the advantages of cloud services.

We are also taking this time to further assist the support needs of our customer base. Under the leadership of our new Director of Services and Support, Melanie (Mel) Lewis, we are restructuring our internal team and tools to operate more efficiently and effectively to better serve you. With this in mind, one of our major initiatives was the recent deployment of our online Help Desk portal, which offers our customers full visibility and access to their support ticket status.

Lastly, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your business and assure you that we are committed to providing the same high-quality service you have come to expect of us. Please know that we are here to help you every step of the way.

Take care, stay safe, stay healthy!

Mel’s focus is to oversee:

Continuous improvement efforts
Your BatchMaster technical support needs and “add’-on” consulting services, following your original implementation.

Customer Spotlight

Absolutely Natural – A Partner For Life

Absolutely Natural, a Florida based company that manufactures and distributes high quality, natural formulas, has selected BatchMaster to support the exponential growth it has experienced in the past few years. President Charley Richards said that the decision to stay with BatchMaster was an easy one and that they are positive they can get a lot more benefit by using its extensive features.

Celebrating Customer Go-Lives!

Despite the pandemic, our implementation project teams and customers were working diligently together to maintain progress on their projects. Our team showed additional flexibility with meeting times to accommodate scheduling challenges our customers may have had with the shelter-in and physical distancing mandates. Despite all of this, we are proud to say that we still were able to achieve Go-Live milestones with four of our customers, three of which were performed remotely. These customers include Abundant Labs, LLC and Au Natural Life. Congratulations to our customers and the team members that worked together to achieve this.

In addition, Customer Service has several upgrade projects completed as well. We want to thank our customers, some of which took advantage of downtime; others who tried to keep momentum going with the new way of working, for all their support especially during this challenging time. Together, we can achieve great things!
