The New Version of Scrip Manager

New Look

We have modernized the Scrip Manager interface for both Administrators and Users. The new look is designed to work better across all browsers and mobile platforms.

Faster Searches

We have improved the database search features to reduce the time it takes to view your account data. This will be more noticeable for more active accounts with years of data saved.

New Features

Change inventory discount split

Miscellaneous Credits

New Threshold Options

Contact/Email Form Recipient Management

Behind the Scenes

You will not see these changes, but Scrip Manager was written from the ground up to be compatible in all modern desktop, tablet and mobile browsers. Our logging, email and usability were all greatly improved. We even squashed a few bugs that were found in our prior version.

Ready For Future

Since version 4 was rewritten with the future in mind, we are ready to start adding many of the features you have requested. We are always adding new features, some big and some small to Scrip Manager and are now in a position to make many more features a possibility.

Scheduled Maintenance Complete

Over the weekend we completed scheduled maintenance that was required to transition accounts to the new version of Scrip Manager starting in 2012. The maintenance completed was related to where your domain was pointing on our servers to retrieve data. We had no issues in the maintenance.  Due to how each Internet Service Provide handles their updates differently, we have had reports of some accounts not being able to be accessed from certain locations. If this is the case please contact us immediately and we will work to try and resolve your individual connection problem. Additionally we ask that you delete/clear your browser history and cookies.
