We are proud to announce the 1200 sq ft expansion of our Kelowna headquarters. We had a very successful 2004 and the busy schedule has continued into 2005. Rather than working through the night and depleting the North American coffee supply, we rounded up some of the best talent we could get our hands on and expanded the Acro team. Of course, with increased numbers of people comes the need for increased space, and after too many weeks of dust, fumes and noise, we are happily settled into our new
cavernous digs.

> StoreBox Version 3.3 Released!
Acro Media is proud to announce the launch of version 3.3 of its popular StoreBox Ecommerce software.
StoreBox is a full featured dynamic catalog and ecommerce solution that can be seamlessly integrated into a Web site. It provides any online merchant the ability to showcase and sell an unlimited number of products through their Web site while remaining in total control.
The newest version of StoreBox provides Template Publishing giving you full control over the layout and functionality of category and product pages. The Product Import/Export feature allows administrators to export data from the Category Manager and add products to the catalog, while the StoreBox Jobs module keeps track of all offline activities. In addition, Job history has been added to the StoreBox Dashboard to allow you to view the results from an import or publish.
Your customers will also benefit from the new Embedded Shopping Cart feature which will show them exactly what they have on the page as they shop. Has your customer lost their receipt? No problem. The "resend" option of the new Order Correspondence History feature allows you to send your customer a copy of their receipt, as well as any emails you have sent in the past. All emails sent to a customer are saved in the Order Manager. You now have the ability to see exactly what email the customer has received when they purchase your products.
