Business and accounting software company Softline Pastel has gone mobile.

The company recently rolled out mobile business applications for the accounting, marketing, payroll and personal finance needs of a business. The new solutions include Pastel My Payroll, Pastel My Webspace and Pastel My Business Online. Pastel My Payroll Online is an online payroll solution offering businesses payroll administration, leave application and tracking functionality. “Ease-of-use was a key consideration when designing My Payroll Online,” said Karen Schmikl, business manager for Sage Online Payroll in SA.

The application is cloud-based, meaning there is no installation of software. As far as implementation is concerned, all fields and parameters are predefined for loading and immediate use.

“Pastel My Webspace is an online marketing platform for small businesses,” said Claude Chesselet, director at IronTree Internet Services.

Pastel My Webspace allows companies to create marketing campaigns and track and manage these campaigns. The solution has links to social media and also features built-in search engine optimisation.

Pastel My Business Online is an accounting program designed specifically for the small business owner. The system allows users to manage customers, suppliers and inventory items and keeps track of sales and purchases.
