A Taste of the Region has taken the bold decision to invest in an entirely-online financial and business management system. All accounting and inventory data and transactions will take place through a browser. In the near future, the webstore will also be integrated with this system. In theory, this means a much easier system to administer, automation of key tasks (such as entering customer orders in terms of both financial transaction and inventory adjustments), and a reduction in the chance of errors through re-keying data.

This has been a mountain of work & effort over the last couple of weeks, but the payoff is a single-view system that can be accessed anywhere, anytime. It's also a much more powerful solution than the stand-alone retail software packages available from the likes of Quicken and MYOB.

We hope that this will let us provide even better, faster service to our customers. The integrated webstore (still under construction, you can get a sneak preview at http://shop.atasteoftheregion.com.au) in particular will streamline our internal processes for your benefit.

As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, do please contact A Taste of the Region.
