Abraquest News

The next release of Abraquest is nearly upon us. This post offers a sneak preview of the final version of Unattended Issue/Returns, and details of what is coming up.

Abraquest has managed for the past 20 years by teacher logging into the system and then leaving the children to scan books to issue or return them. The next release of Abraquest adds optional additional features to allow pupils to issue and return books without teacher being in the room. This release doesn't replace any existing Abraquest functions although it should be faster than the old method and is free to all new and existing Abraquest Software Assurance customers. Please read on for more information.

The next release of Abraquest will have four options for printing spine labels, instead of the two currently available. There are also the letter labels for fiction books that we can provide. This post explains the options available.

Later this week, Abraquest will link with the Google and Amazon book systems, to help save more time when adding new books into the Abraquest system. Users don't need to do anything they should immediately get better results when adding new books to Abraquest.

This post is the first one of two posts that explain what is coming in the next release of Abraquest, including the powerful new Issue/Return features that identify the pupil using a bar code. Other identification methods could be used if customers request them. Post two will appear next week.

Abraquest Software Assurance Customers now get 500 or 1000 free school labels every year.

This post explains what to expect in the next release of Abraquest, version 2.8, the Unattended Issue/Return release. As with all updates, this update is free for all Abraquest Software Assurance customers.

Prices are going up effective 01 March 2017. Also the free one year Abraquest Software Assurance and three month Abraquest Automated Backup is under review. Any prospects wishing to purchase your first renewal at the old prices must be a customer by this date.

Abraquest 2.7.6.0 has been released today to resolve the problems with the automatic updater. All customers should upgrade to this release. This post contains details of how to proceed.

We have a new brochure for 2017 that summarises the features of Abraquest with the latest enhancements and includes a price list.
