Abercrombie & Fitch Sales Tax Dispute

January 24, 2011

If it can happen to Abercrombie….it can happen to you.  Recently it was discovered that the Abercrombie store in Wilton, NY was not charging the proper Sales Tax on their clothing items.  The 1.5% overcharge has become a headline news story and the store has now closed.  It’s very important to have the proper sales tax associated with your items.  With backOffice™ from Insight Retail Software you can easily manage single or multiple store locations with different tax rates. 

Avoid the embarrassment, fines – penalties and possible store closure with a solid back office solution from Insight Retail Software!

Another Gold Dealer Install from The Owen Group SE

March 15, 2010

“A gift can be a ray of sunshine during a loved one’s hospital stay.”  Which is why the John C. Lincoln Gift Shop in Phoenix, Arizona works so hard to provide everything from new baby plush toys to a selection of current magazines.  

To assist  in their success The Owen Group from Trenton, South Carolina has successfully completed an install of Insight’s backOffice™ Software to work with their Datasym ECR’s.

We wish continued success to the John C. Lincoln Gift Shop and congratulate Norm Rischbieter at The Owen Group for another successful install.
