Businesses are run by business people - and people are individuals. Therefore all businesses are unique as people.

Our experience has shown that, while some business people want the latest in electronic aids to assist them in their quest for a better life - others are equally determined to stay away from the unknown and uncontrollable. Some want simple but effective control at a minimum cost, while others are non-conformists, who want something better. Something that does more than just accounting and stock control, something that thinks the way they think - allows then to do what they want - whenever they want. But at the same time acting as their Fairy God Mother and looking after them, saving them from costly mistakes, reminding them of important actions to be taken.

Shopkeeper Solutions offers The Jewellery Shopkeeper. The Jewellery Shopkeeper is for the jeweller who is a "thinker" - a creative individual who believes that computers must help people so that mundane, non-creative tasks become redundant. Typically, the most enthusiastic new users are those who have not studied traditional accounting methods - because The Jewellery Shopkeeper is unashamedly non-conformist.

Nor is The Jewellery Shopkeeper "designed by computer experts" - in other words, the difference in the methods used are not because clever programming dictates the design - but rather the difference is because it was designed by a self-taught businessman who understood the required end results, and the logical optimum ways of getting them. Plus of course clever programming to put the theory into practice.

This maverick design philosophy was not without problems. In the early years of its use, a number of complaints were received from both users and auditors. These complaints were analysed carefully and logically and The Jewellery Shopkeeper was adapted and enhanced so as to satisfy those demands while maintaining the unique, intuitive basic design. A number of requests have been rebuffed on the grounds of being undesirable, but it is heartening to note that no users have been lost due to any program shortcomings.

Personality matching is the essence of the happy user as it is with the happy marriage. The Jewellery Shopkeeper is not the program for everyone. But for those independent, creative thinkers - with a mind to improve their business without investing more of their valuable time to achieve this - there is nothing on Earth that can help more.
