UK VAT Rate Change
From the 1st December 2008, the standard rate of VAT will be reduced to 15%. The measure was announced by the Chancellor on Monday 24th November 2008, in his pre-budget statement.
All Fashione customers will need to reduce the VAT rate using the parameters module, before Monday morning. If you need any assistance, please contact our support team.

Blueberries Upgrade
On Monday we upgraded Blueberries to the multiplue branch edition of Fashione. Not only have they got all the latest features, they are the first customer to use Quick Login on the point of sale.
Each staff member can now login to the point of sale using a barcoded card, instead of username and password, which reduces the overall transaction time.
