Big Business

Big Business is the award-winning business management solution that integrates four critical business functions–sales, purchasing, inventory, and accounting. Big Business eliminates the need for separate company database, contact management, inventory, and accounting programs. It automates workflow and increases productivity by centralizing important data in a single system that can grow as companies expand.

With its innovative Internet technology, Big Business gets small businesses on the Worldwide Web by making online catalogs of products in inventory. Users don’t need to learn HTML, format pages, or manage links between pages–Big Business does that automatically.

Big Business is available in single-user and multi-user, client/server versions.
