In Toronto's trendy High Park neighborhood, smart, modern baby accessories are all the rage. The 'Hello Sunshine' Creative Baby Shop opened it's doors in the spring of 2007 with the help of Xsilva's LightSpeed POS solution.
Hello Sunshine chose Xsilva LightSpeed to run their new operation due to it's superior ease of use and the clean design of both the Apple iMac computer that runs their store and the LightSpeed POS interface.
Purchasing new and innovative products, as well as restocking existing products for their store has been streamlined due to LightSpeed's automatic re-ordering and purchase order generation features.
Keeping an accurate inventory will be critical for this small retail store and they rely on LightSpeed's advanced inventory management features on a daily basis. "We're actually looking forward to our first stock count so we can see LightSpeed flex it's muscles." says Certified LightSpeed Reseller, Kristin Green from Canadian Computers in Oakville, ON.
Hello Sunshine actually started as a web-only business and recently opened as a retail store but with LightSpeed Web Store recently introduced, they look forward to integrating the two sides of the business.
