With over 100 years experience Goulds has developed into Dorset’s foremost and most modern independent Department Store Group, encompassing a Fashions store and a Household store in Dorchester and a Garden Centre in Weymouth.   

Following the launch of their e-commerce arm gouldsonline, management were looking for a new store accounting package that would enable latest technology to be introduced to the back office functionality. Goulds opted for Touchretail’s Retail Accounts software as the ideal solution; as well as all the usual accounting and management reporting facilities Goulds liked Retail Accounts unique combination of department-store specific features, including:
