In 1994, Liz's Antique Hardware turned to ScottWorld for a business solution to a little problem they were having. The problem? Their operations were being run completely by hand — hardly the type of backbone you need to sustain thousands of customers on a monthly basis at a retail store open 7 days a week.

So ScottWorld stepped into the picture, consulted closely with Liz & Terri, and produced an incredibly complex FileMaker Pro point-of-sale retail solution that manages every single customer that walks into their store. Not only does their program keep track of customers, but it also handles all of their invoices & receipts, organizes their purchase orders, manages their entire inventory, and creates regular reports so they can monitor it all with the click of a button.

In 2003, Liz's Antique Hardware took their retail business to the next level: By hiring ScottWorld to revamp their entire website and turn it into a full-blown shopping cart system! Now their entire website is an online mecca for antique hardware shoppers worldwide!

And ScottWorld also took the time to introduce Liz & Terri to a completely different type of hardware — computer hardware. Liz's Antique Hardware now runs on 5 Power Mac G4's, 4 iMac DV SE's, a DSL line, color laser printers, several digital cameras & video cameras. Thanks to ScottWorld's unparalleled training & support, Liz's Antique Hardware is now integrating brand new technologies into their everyday workplace, such as digital photography and digital videos made with Final Cut Pro.

And to think, it all started with the need for a fantastic FileMaker Pro database system! Imagine the possibilities for your own business!

Terri Hartman has this to say about ScottWorld: "In 1994, Scott Rose [president of ScottWorld] claimed that he could design the 'greatest invoicing system ever' for our company. He was right! Six years later, we're still using that original point of purchase system, and it just keeps getting better! ScottWorld's knowledge and dedication have increased our company's productivity immeasurably. In addition to that, they're fun to work with! Give ScottWorld a call, you don't know what you're missing."
