Advantage Program Back Office

The Advantage Program Back Office is the retail business tool you’ve been waiting for! It’s an integrated merchandising and accounting tool that includes a CD formatted in Microsoft Excel with an accompanying User Guide.

We took the standard retail accounting and merchandising plans and reports, found in 7 Steps to a Highly Effective Gift Shop, and organized them into three electronic office folders: Accounting Office, Buying Office, and Shop Operations Office.

Use the Microsoft Excel files in these folders to quickly and accurately create all the plans and reports needed to operate your retail business, and automate your office.  See an example of one of the Plans From the Buying Office Folder.

From daily cash reconciliation to buying plans to year-end financial statements, it’s all in one convenient location. The formulas are already inserted into each file. All you do is enter your information in the yellow cells. It’s that easy! And our Back Office Installation and Training Program gets you off to a smooth start.
