While SA companies are eager to trade electronically, establishing the infrastructure that makes it possible to do so can be problematic.
Businesses also have their hands full taking care of existing business issues.
Comprehensive business solutions used to be the preserve of large businesses and corporate empires but new technology has made this affordable to small businesses, even sole traders. We will visit a small retailer, for example, that wants to trade with consumers on the web, and establish exactly what the company wants to do on the Internet. In essence, we take away the hassle and inconvenience of setting up a digital shop by hosting it on our premises on sophisticated machines. The Pastel user, as well as its customers, can then trade via the Internet on the site that we administer. The system has been optimised to integrate with Pastel Accounting software.
