Training Increases Productivity


Studies have shown that computers increase productivity, but those gains can only be realized if employees are comfortable and experienced with the systems. According to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, investments in technology produce gains in productivity three to five times greater than other investments by allowing employees better access to the information they need to do their jobs. Ensuring that your employees are trained and familiar with computers will help them spend less time tracking down that information and more time utilizing it to perform vital tasks for your company.

Road To Success

“Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again more intelligently.”  Many times we look at our failures and let them discourage us because we did not reach the goals we had set. No matter the areas that we have struggled in, we can learn from them and begin again with a better understanding of how to proceed and be more effective.

Fall 2013 is a great time to refocus and set new goals for your company and employees.  Basic Software Systems has so many avenues that will help you effectively increase your potential of reaching those goals.  You might want to add new modules or interfaces,  credit card readers, Mobile Computers for inventory management, custom programmed forms, laser forms/checks, or even register for those FREE online Training Classes that would help your employees take advantage of learning to use your business system much more effectively. 

We encourage you to set goals for growth! We are here to assist you with questions you might have regarding making your business system the best and most productive tool you can use on a daily basis.  The investment truly is worth it!

Seasonal Transition

Seasonal Transition
“To everything  (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven.
A time to be born, a time to die,
A time to plant, a time to reap,
A time to kill, a time to heal,
A time to laugh, a time to weep….”

You probably just sang this tune of the Beatles while reading those famous lyrics or maybe you thought of the words from the book of Ecclesiastes… either way, these words are profound when it comes to seasonal transition.

At the end of summer, most of us welcome the cooler breeze of autumn, the changing color of the leaves, the smell of cinnamon and baked apples, the extra hour we gain in our days. Everyone has their favorite part of the new season. Each new season welcomes new chapters that contain events like relocations, new babies, new jobs, new friends, weddings, funerals, personal victories… you name it. But while in the midst of each season, we may anticipate its ending rather than embracing it, learning from it, or being developed in it. There is a reason for every season, even if our hearts and minds don’t understand it.  We may not want a happy season to end and are scared of what the new season holds. Turning the page to a new chapter in life can be scary or exciting, but it also could be a time to heal, a time to weep, a time to build up, a time to break down,  it could be your time to dance, or maybe your time to mourn, a time to cast away stones, or a time to gather them together.
Whatever you may be facing in your own personal life or business, keep in mind that you are not alone. There are other people who have worn your shoes, or are facing the same things you may be facing. If you are in a happy season, help those that may not have this fortune.  Look for opportunities to build them up, encourage them, listen to them, and pray for them.

You don’t know what a simple card that says “I’m thinking of you today” can do for someone’s spirits and what it can do for yours!  Think outside of your box and help build up someone else today.

We Make Learning New Software Easier

We understand learning a new business system can be frustrating and scary. This is why we offer numerous training options to meet your convenience and learning style. Our instructional training is designed to fit their needs and give them information they need to be productive and successful. All of our courses are taught by knowledgeable trainers who have first-hand experience with using our software.

 "We learned so much about what the software can do and better ways to do certain things. We've been using the system just for parts and service for a few months prior to training before coming, and I would recommend that to anyone. It made it so much easier to know how to navigate the system. Now we know how to navigate every part of the system. Thank you so much!"
Nel's Tractor - New York

 "The opportunity to attend on-hands classroom training was great. Prior to the training, I was not aware of the full expansiveness of the software and the different areas it can be useful." It was great to have the opportunity to speak to other dealerships and share ideas and experiences."
Calgary Tractorland - Alberta, Canada
