New bookkeeping software cuts through language barriers

Sydney (28 April, 2003) With the launch of its user-friendly bookkeeping software for Australian small businesses, Sydney-based software company Martex Software Solutions says it can effectively help over one million small business operators throughout the country with their bookkeeping activity. This launch comes at a particularly pertinent time, given the fact small businesses throughout Australia are currently heading towards the end of the financial year, and are looking for software packages that are easy to use and written in plain English, so they can get their books in order as quickly and effortlessly as possible.

As the name implies, the major benefit of BusinessBreeze is that is focuses on keeping things simple, with no confusing accounting jargon. It has been designed using a unique ‘click & run’ user interface that simplifies many of the regular tasks of bookkeeping and basic accounting. With ‘click & run’, users can run all the critical functions they need to perform with just a few clicks of their mouse.

“Technology should make processes such as bookkeeping easier for people, saving them time, money and stress”, says Martex's Managing Director, Charles Alexiou. “The reality is many of the products currently on the market require people to have at least a basic understanding of bookkeeping terminology and processes. People spend hours in front of their computers trying to work through the processes and find it complicated and time consuming, not to mention stressful and costly constantly connecting through to support helplines for assistance”.

“This provided the impetus for developing a package that really does make business a breeze for people. We are particularly targeting people who have minimal computing and bookkeeping expertise for whom English may be their second language. Our package does all of the hard work for them and requires no additional training or understanding of complicated accounting jargon”.

Customers who have started using the package in recent weeks wholeheartedly agree, saying they cannot believe just how easy it is to use.

“There's been a desperate need for software that non-accountants can use”, says Terry Stretton, small business owner and tutor in accounting software at the local Dapto TAFE. “The products I train people in are really for people with specialised accounting knowledge and they’re very difficult to understand and use. BusinessBreeze stands out from the pack when you're looking for a simple, easy to use product for essential bookkeeping functions”.

Leading retailer of accountancy and bookkeeping packages for small business operators, Officeworks, has been quick to realise the potential of this product and has added it to its business software line, making it available nation-wide through all of its Superstores.

Small business operators who want to find out more about BusinessBreeze should visit their local Officeworks Superstore and head for the business software section. They can also visit Martex's website at www.martex.com.au to find out more about the BusinessBreeze software package.
