Capture Information Fast. Any Place. Any Time. Any Device.

You just purchased something for your company and want to log the expense so you don’t forget to claim money back from your employer.

Just type it into the Saasu Catch and then hit enter. It is created as an Activity which can be converted into a transaction.

Catch* is smart enough to know what you mean by commonly used words (and amounts) and then store it safely in your Activities for later.

A few key strokes and you can forget about it. You can even attach the receipt - as a document or a link - if it was a online purchase.

Financial Management Spoken Here. Fluently.

Just look for the red Saasu sign if there is box next to it - start typing!

Saasu Catch is everywhere

• Catch Menu - is in Saasu.com above the menu after you sign in.
• Catch Browser (shown above) - is in your browser next to the address field
• Catch Intranet - is a special page you can put on your company intranet
• Catch Email ** - takes email from anywhere including your PC, blackberry, iTouch, iPhone or other mobile device.
• Catch SMS ** - takes text message from your standard mobile phone, you just record the number against your user id.

Everything you type is captured and shown as a proper transaction in your Activities ready to be posted formally to your account. Later, when time permits, you or someone you trust can process the real transaction later with just a few clicks. Nothing gets lost!

Time Is Precious

Saasu Speak is an immense time saver -

• Use it with Catch to capture all those everyday bits of information easily and reliably in seconds from anywhere.
• Imagine - each year - a few hundred purchases and a few hundred other pieces of information like time sheets or phone numbers you spend 1-2 minutes handling each.
• We think the average business or household can save days every year with Catch.

You can use Saasu Speak to tell our robots to quickly capture (and act on) all sorts of information -

• record an expense you have incurred and get it reimbursed
• remember to do something - e.g. you need to pick up the milk or send in your tax
• set up a new contact name and phone number,
• log time to be billed against a client
• searching for stuff on the web such as Google.com or inside Saasu.com Help Central
• searching for transactions and contacts search (coming soon)
• send an invoice (coming soon)
• log activities such as file notes, service tickets, change requests, help cases (coming soon)

… and so much more. All entries are captured and shown in your Saasu.com in tray.

How Do I Use It? Some Hints & Tips

Simply type the instructions you want in plain language that makes sense to you, some methods work better than others so reading these Tips is a good idea. These basic pointers will make you more efficient and help the Saasu robot understand what you are saying, more detailed examples can be found at the end of this page.

Actions

The best way to tell the robot what to do, actions are common abbreviations followed by a colon (:) for example -

• Find/Search Google, Yahoo, Saasu Contacts Finder, Saasu Transaction Finder and more (for example google: g:, y:, stf:, f:)
• Add ToDos, Contacts, Purchases, Expenses, Sales, Invoices and more (e.g. addtodo: todo: do: d: addcontact: contact: c: addpurchase: purchase: p:)

Transactions

Making it clear that this is a financial transaction (and not something else)

• Amounts (Currency Sign)Using the dollar($), yen, euro or other currency symbol (USD, AUD, GBP) next to any number will tell the robot this is an value amount.
  Unless you specifically say it was a ’sale:’ the robot will assume it was a ‘purchase:’
• Transaction TypesExplicitly stating the type of transaction also works such as
  sale:
  purchase:
  income:
  expense:

Contacts

Capturing names, phone numbers, addresses and file notes.

• Titles
  Using personal titles such as Dr, Mr, Mrs, Ms, Prof will tell the robot this is a contact person.
• Phone Numbers
  Using the plus sign (+) in front of a number denotes it as a phone number, this is the same as every mobile phone in the world when specifying an international phone number.
• Companies
  Using a company suffix after the company name will denote it. For example, Inc. Incorporated, Limited, Ltd, LLC, Pty Ltd, P/L, BVI etc. If you have more you would like us to support please tell us.

Grouping

• Quotes
  Using single quotes (’) or double quotes (”) either side of long pieces of information will help avoid confusion e.g. $25.00 ‘lunch with client’ will avoid confusing the robot that this is some sort of client related instruction and is actually an expense.

Time

• Time Units
  The hours, minutes, days or weeks for a time sheet can be implied by placing it right next to a number for example 3h, 3hrs, 180m, 180min, 180mins, 1d, 1day, 2days
• Time Ranges
  Using a number with am or pm immediately after the number will be recognised as a starting time the first time in an entry, the second time will be recognised at the end time.

Search/Find

To search all sites on the internet for ‘genius’ all of these approaches will work -

• google:genius
• g:genius
• yahoo:genius
• y:genius

To search your contacts for ‘Mr Genius’ all of these approaches will work -

• saasufinder:Genius
• saasufind:Genius
• saasu:Genius
• sf: genius
• f: genius
• find: genius
• f: ‘mr grenius’

To search your transactions for ‘Lunch’ all of these approaches will find the purchases (expenses) with the narrative ‘Lunch’ attached.

• saasutransactionfinder:Lunch
• stfind: lunch
• tf:lunch

Some Contacts Examples

To add a new contact for example Susan Cooper from XYZ Pharmaceuticals +61 2 5555 7777

• Susan Cooper XYZ +61255557777
  This will setup a new contact with no title with first name Susan last name Cooper and link it to an existing company called XYZ (if there is more than one it will go on the first one). The plus sign indicates a phone number which also indicates it is a contact record.
• Ms. Sue Cooper XYZ
  This will also work because the Ms is recognised as a personal title
• XYZ Sue Cooper
  This won’t work - this will add a new contact with no title and no phone number and first name XYZ and last name Sue with a company called Cooper, remember people come first in life, it is the same with Saasu.com
• c:Sue Cooper XYZ
• contact:Sue Cooper XYZ
• addcontact:Sue Cooper XYZ Incorporated
