"Improved our cash flow as, for the first time, we received payment in advance from customers who ordered online. Online ordering is obviously becoming more popular and expected by customers in the modern era, so it is great to have a system that is user friendly for both the customer & the business that is providing it to the customer."

"We first used the 2013 season as a transition to online, so parents could either use the manual booklist, or go online - we offered a slight discount for online on the stationery, not the textbooks. We had around a 50% uptake which I think was ok. From a time perspective - it took me the usual 2 days to manually collate & decipher the manual booklists. To run the purchasing reports for the online booklists took me 30 minutes, so I expect I will save 2 full days just collating and interpreting". Justin Urwin, Absolute MBA Office National Abbotsford Victoria

The Way of the Future
The trend of buying online shows no sign of slowing down. According the Australian Bureau of Statistics the most common reason given for making online purchases is convenience (74%). Parents of school age children aged 25-34 years (82%) and 35-44 years (79%) dominate online purchasing in Australia.

It`s a "Captive" Market
Trends show that a school will pick a particular business as their preferred supplier and often it will be a local bookseller or newsagency.
