How Circle can help your business

Reduced data entry

One of the biggest costs of running a stock system is the time involved in data entry. The Circle system automatically transfers rich data from Bookdata and the Circle community database. To get titles into your system and onto your website all you need to do is to scan the barcode. This alone can save $1000 - $2000 a month.


Free website

As part of the stock system you get a website. Apart from being one of the best in the industry you do not have to do any additional work to maintain it. When you purchase titles they are automatically entered onto your website, and when you sell them they are automatically removed. This means your website is perfectly in sync with your shop; great for you and your customers. The additional online sales you will get will easily pay for the entire cost of the system!


Smart reordering

The circle reordering system is very smart and efficient. Ensuring you have what is selling is very important. Circle gives you both a movers view that shows you what you sold during the day and a threshold system the dynamically adjusts based on what is selling best. It also provides a global view that tells you what is selling across New Zealand. This lets you identify hot selling titles that you may have missed. No other system does this.


Supplier integration

An increasing number of suppliers are also using Circle. This means close links to your suppliers and very rich data as they have entered it for you!


The ability to work from anywhere

Being online means that you can work from anywhere securely. Do your reordering from the comfort of home, take a laptop on the road, see how sales are going from overseas.

 

Security and safety

Your system and information is held and backed up on secure central servers. This is much safer than shop PCs that are liable to fail or get viruses. If something goes wrong all you need to do is to plug in a new PC and start where you left off.

 

Costs

There is no setup fee, term contract or user limits. You simply pay monthly based on the number of titles you put in or the volume of transactions you put through.
