Looks like everything may be in order…

After testing Carrier Companion. We felt the design needed a little touching up. After some research on WPF, we have found out how to draw our own charts. So, with a little TLC, we may be able to get rid of the 3rd part components altogether. This will allow us to modify the code instead of having to deal with what we we’re sold.

Here’s a look at the new design. It is now tab based instead of component based.

You can now sort the list by the headers at the top. An Arrow will show the direction of the sorting. The screen shot above shows the list sorted by the carriers’ name.

Carrier Details

After you click edit (add will add a blank entry then allow you to edit that entry), you will see the above section showing you the details of the carrier. You can enter your SSN here (optional). This is for Schedule C forms you fill with your taxes.

Since Carrier Companion will track vehicle information for the Schedule C forms. We have allow you to not only enter the current vehicle. But, later down the road when you change vehicles, you can enter it here. Sometime in a future release, we will allow you to track gas mileage.

Hopefully this design will be the last major change before the release. We wanted to make this software very versatile, and extremely powerful. As you can see. The power of it is finally coming together!

Have a wonderful day! I’ll keep you posted!
