Author: Steve Riley Date: 23 Jun 2010 VAT emergency budget changesOne of the key changes from this week's emergency budget was the change in the VAT rate to 20% from 4th January 2011. The wisdom of this move, and the effects on the construction industry and its suppliers will be debated elsewhere, but this is just a short note to let you know how Progressive Solutions' bisTrack will handle the change. The VAT rate change is a well-understood process and one we're used to activating with the minimum of fuss. You'll remember the recent temporary lowering of the rate from 17.5% to 15% and the subsequent reversion to the original rate. We understand both the technical changes required and the business processes around those changes. Essentially the message is: no change required just yet. We'll let you know when you need to start activating the new rates and how you should do that. More information:

Brian King, Lumber USA"The reporting capabilities of bisTrack really help the sales department answer day to day enquiries. It gives them instant access to information about purchasing volumes and when timber is due to come in."
Wayne Abrams, Project Leader, Arbor Forest Products"Progressive's experience was important, as was the link with Microsoft. We think that's the way ahead for all merchant systems."
Stephen Fairbairn, MD, Henry Alty"The people at Progressive Solutions are likeable, straight-talking individuals who have a commitment to continuously develop and push the software forward."
Joe Tipper, Walter Tippers Ltd"Our staff have margin figures right in front of them now, so they're much more aware of the profit they are making."
Robert Blumsom, Blumsom Fine Timber"If we hadn't changed to bisTrack we simply couldn't have grown like this."
Nigel Williams, Chairman, Premier Forest Products“There are other systems of course, but none have had the development time that’s behind bisTrack. I can’t believe there’s a better system out there. I’m convinced there’s nothing that can deliver better what we need.”

Stuart Hall, General Manager, Lawcris Panel Products"Progressive's experience was important, as was the link with Microsoft. We think that's the way ahead for all merchant systems."
Stephen Fairbairn, MD, Henry Alty"It's a very nicely laid out system with easy to follow structural menus and taskpads which, even if I haven't used a particular function before, I find relatively simple to complete."
Chris Pratt, Pratts Timber and Builders Merchants Ltd"I'm convinced there's no other system that can deliver better what we need. Apart from its Windows architecture and its powerful functionality, it now has ten years of development behind it."
