    VAT Adjustment Module (Available Sunday) is a program to automate the VAT Rate changes that you will be able to download and run. We can email you when this is available for download (expected to be this afternoon). If you wish an email notification please send an email with “VAT” as the subject to support@oltd.co.uk. The program may be downloaded prior to the 1st December. When run it will have various sub-options you can run at times appropriate for yourself.

    Note: Before any updates the program will warn you and give the option to continue or not.

    Note: This update replaces the previous version released on the 30th November. It performs the same updates, but also will set the correct VAT Rate for any new lines added to existing orders which were defaulting at the old VAT Rate. In addition, Option 5 is now available to update sales order line selling prices (should it be an option that you want to use). If you had already run the previous version, you need to download Version 2.0 and run options 1 and 2.

  • Website Re-Designed

    October 20th, 2008

    Optimise Solutions launched its web design, e-commerce and online marketing services for existing as well as new customers at the Manchester Furniture Show. Ever since the launch, Optimise has been getting lots of hits on the website. We had implemented some very good search engine strategies which brought us plenty of traffic. With this success we realised that we had to renovate our website and also launch an individual website for Optimise Web. Sid took up the task and built a fresh website using WordPress as the back-end. This new website has been tweaked to be search engine friendly and much faster than the previous site. We hope to help our visitors find the right information without having to spend too much time browsing through the entire site.
