Andy was confident that trade was heading the right way, but felt that he needed more detailed information to really understand what was going on within his business.

“Like a lot of publicans, I could look at the till takings and see whether we had turned over more or less. I was also getting stock takers in every month or two to audit the stock. But I felt I wasn’t really getting a complete picture and the information I did have was more or less historical.”

“Because the stock report was paper based, it tended to get tucked away in a file and was never really used. So I was spending around £1800 a year on not achieving very much!”

“I’m no computer whiz, but this is really easy to use .It’s very well laid out, and I found that I was soon able to set up new products, change prices and the like. But the best part is the actual stock-take process. It prints out a list which you just take round and fill in the blanks. I can now do hassle-free stock takes whenever I want! It also lets me enter my till readings to balance the takings against stock used.”
