Sidekick Auckland North Has Settled in Takapuna!

By . Posted in Company News.

Long awaited, Sidekick Auckland North have found the perfect office, located in the heart of Hurstmere Road. We are excited about the move and the new opportunities it brings.
Unleashed, a Xero Add-on partner in crime had an office space that was introduced to us by Peter White (Takapuna Beach Business Association). When we walked in, the guys were playing Fifa on an Xbox, and there was a welcoming wine fridge. Having Xero in common meant that this was a great match for us. We are looking forward to the good times ahead.
What this means for our customers apart from the great view, is we will always be around the corner when you need your accounting and business advisory experts. For new comers, our door is always open and we welcome you to drop by.
Don’t forget to come along to our Christmas Party (get tickets here) to help welcome us to The Shore. It is on Wednesday 4th of December. 5.30pm-7.30pm. Have a few drinks and some nibbles with us, and mix with the neighbours. We promise no Christmas Carols or spiced cake, just pleasant conversation and an enjoyable evening.
We are looking forward to seeing you around.

Xero Add-on Focus: Vend

By . Posted in Cloud Software, Company News.

Frustrated with the shortfalls of your current point of sale system?

If that’s an agreeable nod we see, then boy are we are pleased to introduce you to Vend! You can thank us later… for now have a read of how the guys at Vend describe how you can revolutionise the way you run your store.

Tell us in a nutshell what Vend does?

“Vend creates point-of-sale software that retailers love. One piece of cloud software which includes everything from inventory management to customer loyalty tools. We have more than 8,000 stores worldwide using Vend and that number continues to grow every day.”

How can Vend help SME’s?

“Because Vend is cloud software, users always have the latest and best version without having to faff around with patches and updates. We take care of the technical side of things so they can focus on growing their business. All the important business data is kept secured and backed up online, accessible from wherever they are in the world. Vend also integrates with other great software which smart retailers are using, such as Xero, Shopify and Timely.”

Can we try before we buy?

“Of course! Vend offers a free 30-daytrial so retailers can kick the tyres and make sure it’s a good fit. Heck, you don’t even need to put in your credit card details. If at the end of the trial you like what you see, you can get going straight away.”

Where can we find you?

“You can find out more about Vend at www.vendhq.com, or get in touch with Paul (paulb@vendhq.com) who’s happy to answer any questions you may have. For the more socially inclined, we can also be found on Twitter (www.twitter.com/vendhq) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/Vend.POS).”

One last question for fun, our favourite superhero is Batman because he made sure he had a trusty sidekick… who is yours and why?

“As you might be able to tell, we’re big fans of the colour green at Vend. The Green Lantern or Incredible Hulk are good fits, but Iron Man after a weekend painting the shed green would work too.”
