 AccountRight takes care of the accounting and reporting requirements of most businesses. But you can easily extend and build on AccountRight with custom add-on apps tailored to your business or industry.
Add-ons seamlessly connect to AccountRight so you can do things like: - forecasting, and what-if analysis
- integrate with POS systems
- get access to your info from other apps
- set up an online store.
The AccountRight Server Edition connects to add-ons via the MYOB API, and the AccountRight PC Edition connects via the MYOB Add-On Connector. To see the range of add-ons available, visit the Add-on Centre (Australia | New Zealand). | HTML |
