Programming Support is Important
It is easy to ignore programming support for your Store POS System software until you must have it. For example a few months ago some Canadian provinces changed their sales taxes. In the past they a PST (Provincial Sales Tax) for the province and a GST (Goods and Services Tax) for the federal government. There were different regulations as to who had to pay what taxes. The provincial governments decided to combine the taxes into an HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) which included both taxes. The term HST had to show in the invoice. This was an easy programming change but it had to be done. Without programming support it wouldn't have happened. Required programming changes happen every few months. They usually involve a minority of the customers but they happen and you never know when they are going to happen. Required programming changes can come from government regulations, changes in the operating systems and changes in hardware availability. Some require hours to make and others require years to make. If you don't have them, your software quickly becomes useless.Labels: programming changes, sales taxes, Store POS System
