Simple. Run count sheets for forms sorted by the employee assigned to each customer, then take counts. Enter the counts and post along with the rest of the day’s business. During posting, the program updates average usage by month, quarter, and year for each form, so you can run an analysis at any time and get up to the day results.

A big advantage of SAFE is that counts may be taken at any time. There are no cut-off dates, or special periods into which counts must be entered. However, the more often, and the more regular you are about taking counts, the more accurate your average usage figures will be. A complete log is kept of each form’s activity: sales, releases, and counts.
