Panasonic is distributing TABS call accounting software from MER. The software provides
detailed data on each call made at each phone, including duration and cost. It can be used
to allocate phone costs among people and departments, to monitor staff productivity, apply
mark-ups and discounts, bill-back phone costs to clients, and reduce telephone abuse. The
software can provide a variety of graphical and user-defined reports, to be viewed,
printed, filed, or distributed via email.
Four different versions of the software are available:*
