In these uncertain times the focus of senior management on capital expense is greater than ever. All monies taken from the bank account must be clearly aimed at improving the revenues in the business. But where does that leave cost management and control? How can companies achieve important savings from spend behaviour without implementing improved systems of internal control that come at a cost themselves? Professional Advantage has released a rental model of its globally recognised iPOS eProcurement for SunSystems module. "This effectively moves the software purchase from capital to operating expense - allowing smart companies to seek out efficiencies in their spend whilst minimising the impact to the balance sheet" said Neil Richardson, Sales Manager at Professional Advantage.
