Welcome from the MDHello and welcome to the summer edition of our quarterly newsletter. While the climax to GDPR coming into force has subsided, we still value our connections and relationships with those interested in business, software and technology. We appreciate your interest and loyalty to Dynamics Consultants!

Although Brexit is looming and there is a lot of uncertainty in the market, we have seen various industries booming. Largely led by the technology that is becoming more accessible, businesses are capitalising on new tools to improve their offerings.

Dynamics Consultants is included in that booming business bracket. We have taken on more staff since the last newsletter. Tony and Sal are now part of the team and driving force behind helping us to continue to improve our customer service as we grow.

One request with our new website was to make it clearer what courses we offer and what dates are on our schedule.

Not only have we done this, we have booked in a wide range of courses between now and the end of the year.

If there are any courses that do not currently have a date but you would like to attend, please let us know and we will work with you to put some dates in the calendar.

Why e-Commerce should be part of your strategy

“Selling online is the future”

Not exactly a ground breaking concept; we are all involved with online shopping in our day-to-day lives. The thing is, most of our customers do not sell online, or if they do, it’s a tiny part of their business.

Sell online now

Your e-Commerce store can be set up and ready for you in little over a week.

Quite the statement, but it’s realistic – and we are not talking about a low end Wix store.

With e-Commerce Essentials you get a full professional web shop, with a branded theme and a wide range of professional features. If you need specific functionality in the future, this platform is flexible for you to have bespoke modifications as you require them.

Its not as hard as you think

• Responsive design works on any device• Integration with Feefo Reviews• Branded with your logos and colours

Features• SagePay Payments for credit card and Paypal• Customer insights • Google Analytics Enhanced e-Commerce Integration

Customer experience is a crucial part of ensuring that your website is popular with a clear path to make a purchase. Making it easy for your customers to buy from you is a big part of making your e-Commerce webshop a success. Very often, however, e-commerce can be an oversight and not used to its full potential. We know that when done correctly, it's an incredibly powerful sales tool that promotes awareness of your brand and attracts tour target audience.

There is a big increase in online B2B sales, so now really is the time to get involved, to avoid missing any potential sales. If you are not sure where to start, keep an eye on our new series of blogs on the fundamentals of selling online.

Important e-Commerce information

Industry InsightsThe turn of summer brings us Accountex – presumably as an ideal time to capture people struggling with year

ends and those with a new budget and a whole year to improve their systems. It is an exciting time for the accountancy industry, which is our focus for this quarter.

www.d-c.co.uk

As the largest show in Accountancy in the UK, Accountex attracts accountancy practices and finance management from all over the country. We were exhibiting at the show as the face of Microsoft. We asked the team to give us a review…

With lots of changes in legislation, such as the upcoming Making Tax Digital requirements from HMRC, it is important to be on a well supported software platform. Our blog discusses how the Microsoft Dynamics team have been working with the government to make sure that the Dynamics products are compliant in advance of the deadline.

With a centralized chart of accounts, finance is at the centre of every Microsoft Dynamics ERP system. This means that from consultants to support, our team is well versed in accountancy, with market experts such as Martin Coates providing a wealth of experience. We even have two of our junior consultants starting their AAT. We constantly release information, including market insights and products, on our blog.

Microsoft and DynamicsAs you may have seen, Microsoft has been making some big shifts in how their products are presented to the market. We have spoken to a few people worried about the future of NAV, so it is worth noting that there is no need to worry! NAV is one of the flagship products from Microsoft, and they are spending huge amounts of money on improvements to the platform. There is, however a re-branding exercise going on, which we will be releasing information about on our blog over the next few weeks.

Here at Dynamics Consultants, we are practicing our grunting and groaning because we get the privilege to have a DC social event there in August! Keep an eye out for the photos on our social media accounts!
