Blue Link - Small Business Edition Released
Are you running your business on one of many entry level management and accounting
systems such as QuickBooks, Simply Accounting, MYOB, IOA, etc.? Does this solution
continue to adequately support your business needs?
Many of our clients have asked us to find a solution that will cost-effectively
address the needs of their growing businesses as:
• the
need for more concurrent users surpasses the limitations of their current software;
• support
for multiple warehouse locations, and/or bin/shelf identification for inventory
is required;
• accurately
tracking and accounting for full inventory cost (sometime called landed costing,
which includes duty, freight, brokerage etc.) becomes increasingly significant in
identifying true costs of inventory;
• increasing
business volumes and complexities demand more sophisticated software support, with
capabilities to grow into the future.
Blue Link Associates have recently announced the release of their Small Business
Edition software package, which we believe meets these requirements and many more
much less expensively than competing solutions.

|
Have you ever wished that your sales team:

- Never got sick, or quit and went to a competitor
- Provided your customers with the exact information they required about each product
they requested,
- Provided your customers with reviews of each product they considered buying,
- Attempted to up sell EVERY customer with products that complement the ones the
have just decided to buy
- Took payments and immediately updated your bank account
To add this sales dynamo to your sales force, look no further than an e-commerce
storefront! Technology that used to be complex and cost prohibitive is now very inexpensive!
One tool we use our clients is an open-source framework that minimizes your cost
and gets you online fast!

2006 Federal Budget Implications
– GST change
|
|
Have you considered the impact of pending legislation on the accounting software
you use to run your business?
If we assume that the May 2 Federal budget will be passed in parliament, at July
1, 2006, any business transaction that attracts GST/HST has a seemingly simple change
to be accommodated – to change the calculation rate.
If you are using any form of computerized system to calculate the tax, regardless
of whether that is a sophisticated accounting system, a basic cash register, or
a spreadsheet, you will need to ensure that appropriate changes are made.
