Junk you can toss right now!

October 13, 2011

Are you holding on to paperwork ‘just in case’ it’s needed? Know what you really need, and you can confidently shred the rest.

It can be tricky to figure out what paperwork you need to keep and what you can toss. Too often we cling to paper because we may need it “someday.”

This article from  By Liz Weston, MSN Money  has some helpful tips.

“It’s all fear, baby!” said professional organizer Monica Ricci of Catalyst Organizing in Atlanta. “We often fear what we are unsure of or don’t understand. . . . If you’re uncertain about the value or whether you’ll need it again, you tend to err on the conservative side and keep it.”

That can lead to overstuffed filing cabinets and paperwork clutter that weighs on your psyche.

But so much of what we keep is really unnecessary. To relieve your soul, and your filing cabinets, here’s a list of paperwork you can live without. Such as:  Read entire article by clicking here

Gas Station Software

July 21, 2011

After conducting a little straw poll of my own, I found that most people call their store a “C-Store” or “Convenience Store”.  When I see Gas Station, or Gas Station Software I am taken back to my days as a child when my Mom would pull into a gas station and a man in uniform with his name proudly displayed on his hat and shirt would rush to the vehicle eager to help us.

This full service gas station is more rare today and typically comes with a per gallon surcharge.  No more days of the “you can trust your car to the man who wears the star”.

Today, “The Man Who Wears the Star” can have POWERFUL back office software for his gas station, without spending a fortune.  Or maybe I should say he can have POWERFUL back office software for his Convenience Store and Gas Pump Controller.  Back Office Software for Gilbarco?  Back Office for Ruby?  Either way, backOffice™ Software from Insight Retail Software can make running a C-Store more profitable and hassle free.  Mix and Match for Gilbarco’s Passport POS?  Not a problem.


Why would you rent back office software?

July 20, 2011

Having a powerful back office software is key to running a successful business.  With over 20 years in the back office and point-of-sale business, we have learned that retailers want to OWN their software vs. rent.  Owning software gives you the security of knowing that you have control and your point-of-sale is not at risk of being “taken away“.

backOffice™ from Insight Retail Software starts at $1200.00 for PriceBook and Reporting Modules.  If you are paying $150/month to RENT software you will pay $1800.00 the first year [and the 2nd year and the 3rd year, etc – you get my point!].  OUCH!

InsightRS offers an optional support plan starting at $350.00 – that’s $29.00 per month for unlimited support and all software upgrades!  Instead of wasting money monthly with back office software – start MAKING money with back office software!

What Are the Benefits of Barcode Scanning?

March 23, 2011

THE BARCODE:  Making Businesses Run Smoother

Great information from eHow article on Barcode Scanning.  Click here to read entire article.

Cutting down on errors made is an advantage that barcode scanning can bring to any business, big or small. The error rate for a human manually entering data is one for every 300 characters. With barcodes, it can be as accurate as one error every 36 trillion characters. This not only helps with obtaining data reading, but also lessens the likelihood of employees making costly errors at the till.

 

As this article clearly points out, a powerful backOffice package can more than pay for itself and take the stress out of running a business.
