The Mysterious "Six Degrees of Integration"

The Mysterious
Here's how you can establish your business for growth over the long-term.

Renowned philosophers say the world is so small that we are all linked by only Six Degrees of Separation.

In 2018, the Windward Software team would like to reduce that by at least one degree, and meet as many of our customers and prospects as possible at Industry Trade Shows across North America.

We have a similar school of thought we would like to share with you, called "Six Degrees of Integration." Here's how it works:

No matter where you go in business, you need at least six specific core functionalities to run your operations:

1. Point-of-Sale / Payments
2. Accounting
3. Inventory Management
4. Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
5. Reporting
6. Portals to link to specialty applications, such as e-commerce or industry specific services

Integrating these functionalities using a robust business management software solution like Windward System Five can do more than help you manage your business - it establishes your business to experience long-term growth.

And, that's what sets Windward System Five apart.

No matter where you're starting from or how big your vision is, our goal is to help you run your Sales, Service, or Rental business more effectively with software that will take you to wherever you want to go in the future.

Since we opened our doors in 1984, we have helped thousands of companies integrate the six core functionalities that every business requires. This has been achieved using our proven, fully integrated business management software: with Windward System Five, your entire business runs off of one integrated database.

Even if your business is active in one or more of 20 different industry verticals; even if you add locations; even if you add countries; and even if you add online.

Of course, telling you about our software won't be as fun as showing you in-person, so here are some of the upcoming trade shows we will be exhibiting at in 2018:
