PointCentral provides exceptional control over access rights assigned to individuals and groups. For example, template access rights can be granted down to specific templates, ensuring that only those who need templates or are authorized to edit them can do so.
"PointCentral is the ultimate administration tool. It allows me to run reports in my pipeline at any time. PointCentral allows me to add or subtract users at will—anywhere I have access to the internet. I never feel disconnected from my business."
