Use Service Order templates to pre-format information about accounts – making it easy to apply a specific profile to a new or existing account. Details such as USP codes, OCCs, report areas, tax areas, etc. can be pre-established in a template, and then with a simple click of a button, those details will be associated with the tier or even the entire account.

President’s Message
MACC is committed to you! Take our survey!
By Craig Aman, President and CEO
As another year passes by, it gives us all a chance to reflect on the past 12 months. I’m sure even if an official New Year’s Resolution isn’t made, most of us do take a few moments to think about any new year as a time to do things differently – better – more efficiently. Whatever the words or phrases are, the meaning is the same: we look at a new year as a fresh start.
So as we have the first month of 2019 under our belt, I would like to first thank you all for your continued partnership. MACC is so proud to call you our partner, and we appreciate your trust that we are truly trying to build products and services to enhance your businesses. Without you, we wouldn’t be here; and we take our commitment to you very seriously.
