Re: Simply Accounting

Hi.

Yes, I have heard good things about Simply as well. I used to use
MYOB, which has been bought out by Simply now I think.

When our business grew to multiple branches, however, we needed
something more industrial. We didn't need a mainframe application, but
needed more than a PC application.

I found Master Merchant Systems (MMS) to be the best fit, and you can
lease it in a hosted POS mode which is quite affordable for what you
get. Maybe check them out, they may be a good fit. They do inventory,
accounting, AR, AP, POS, rentals, and warranties all in real time
across all your locations.

Their site is at:

Cheers.

Ken
