J2 630

The J2 630 has the rare attribute of combining power with silent operation. Its Intel Atom dual core processor delivers the fast processing speeds needed to both exploit today’s EPoS software and to provide swift and responsive customer service.

It boasts all the muscle of a ‘workhorse’ unit combined with the sophistication of noise-free running and stylish looks. This universal machine, thanks to its fanless technology, fits discreetly into the most prestigious of hospitality settings. At the same time, it excels in harsh food retailing or service environments where it offers dust-free and spill-proof operation.

Exceptional reliability, and a high degree of user independence that includes the ability to change the motherboard and hard drives in seconds, add up to a cost of ownership that is hard to match in today’s EPoS market, especially when supported by J2’s trademark 3-year parts & labour warranty.

J2 is committed to eco-friendly EPoS manufacture, usage and disposal. In common with all J2 products, the J2 630 is RoHS and WEEE compliant.

Significant time savings

A Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning company, who provide a design to installation service had used Sage 50 Professional for a number of years.  However, Sage 50 Professional was not used to its fullest potential.  Consequently as the business grew, the owners were spending increased amounts of time on routine accounting and administrative tasks.  We worked with the business owners to make greater use of Sage 50 Professional’s features, by first installing Sage 50 on all the PC’s on the network, which accessed the Sage data files stored on the business server.  We created profiles for employee types, so each employee only accessed the areas they needed to access and also that the workload could be shared.  Secondly we implemented Sales Order Processing so invoices could be raised either in full or in part (as a progress invoice) and set up recurring invoices for periodic maintenance work.  Invoice layouts were created in the Company’s chosen style using the inbuilt Report Writer, so invoices could be either printed and posted, or generated as PDF’s and automatically sent out using Outlook from within Sage 50.  Naturally we provided extensive training and support whilst the changes were adopted.  This resulted in significant time savings for the invoicing and distribution process and tightened up overall control of the invoicing of all the job types the business was involved with.

Business Records Checks

HMRC is planning a programme of Business Records Checks that will review both the adequacy and accuracy of business records within the ‘small and medium enterprise’ (SME) sector.  No new legislation is proposed in this regard; the programme will use existing law regarding both record keeping requirements and penalties for failure to comply with those requirements, with penalties being imposed for significant record keeping failures.

You can read the full text of the Consultation Document here

The document applies to anyone involved in running a small or medium business; that is, businesses with a turnover of less than €50m and less than 250 employees.  Accountants and others providing services of accountancy, book-keeping or tax advice to such businesses will have a particular interest.

If you have any concerns about the proposals or want to ensure your business records are adequate, then please contact us on 07596 117002

Blackburn Rovers Enterprise Centre

I was invited to look around the Blackburn Rovers Enterprise Centre by Claire Stock, whom I met at a recent networking event.  I think Blackburn Rovers have done a fantastic job in utilising floor space within the Darwen End stand and would suggest that any small business interested in stylish, affordable office accommodation should take a look. 

The Enterprise Centre can be contacted on 0844 2252350.
