Originally established in Southampton in 1837, Smith Bradbeer (more commonly referred to simply as Bradbeers) have department stores in Romsey and New Milton, as well as a furniture store in New Milton and a carpet store in Romsey. Bradbeers have continually developed and expanded their business, and shoppers can now buy online at http://www.bradbeers.com/

In addition to the retail stores, Bradbeers also operate a Furniture Rental business and a Removals and Storage business.

A major challenge when looking for an Accounting system was the ability to incorporate all these various aspects of the Bradbeer group’s business into one package, and to report at various levels of detail for each part of the business. Retail Accounts from Touchretail was selected as the application which would cater for these requirements, as well as being able to provide a payroll interface and statutory reports such as Intrastat statistics. As an active member of AIS, Bradbeers also liked the AIS Statistics reports available from Retail Accounts.

After using Retail Accounts for 3 years, Bradbeers management rely on the management reporting to help them in their continual development of the business, and to help in Bradbeers pursuit of excellence in their customer offer. With a very similar business ethos to Touchretail, Bradbeers uphold the traditions of service, honesty and attention to detail that have enabled them to reach the point where they are today.
