Beta Computers Limited has introduced a new computer programme called POSACTSaaS that enables Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to participate in a fixed monthly subscription payment initiative that will help them acquire Point of Sales (POS) machine and accounting solution as a service to run their operations.
The initiative is designed as a bailout for SMEs to scale up on their information technology (IT) infrastructure.
Announcing the initiative in Lagos recently, the Managing Director, BETA Computers, Mr. Will Anyaegbunam, said that with the Nigerian current economic realities and its consequential cash and credit squeeze, most SMEs may be hard pressed to afford, on a one-off payment, the capital cost for the acquisition of POS and Accounting Solutions (POSACTS).
“This is despite the fact that they are aware of the immense benefits a POS and accounting solution will bring to the profitability of their businesses. Indeed, these challenging times require as a necessity, not an option, the use of a POS and or Accounting solution to effectively and efficiently manage businesses for survival and growth,” he said.
With POSACTSaaS, he assured Nigerians that SMEs would not have to worry about having the total amount required for the acquisition and maintenance of the POSACTs infrastructure.
According to him, “There will be no Internet issues and bandwidth charges as this is an on premise solution. All they expect and will get is 99.9 per cent uptime and availability on the POSACTS solution that is specific to their own industry, for a subscription as low as N10,000 per month. They then only have to concentrate on running their business with a much higher degree of success guaranteed”.
Anyaegbunam further explained that the solution would eliminate every huddle for SMEs in accessing POS and accounting solutions for the maximization of their growth and profitability potentials.
He said the solution covers both software and hardware, for virtually all industry sectors, including retail and distributive trade, supermarkets, pharmacies, hospitality, restaurants and bars, hotels, commercial and manufacturing companies, among others.
