We are specialists in inventory control, point of sale, invoicing and accounting software systems for the retail and customer service industries. Using a series of soft switches, Windward Software ERP software adapts to the way you do business. Unlike many of our competitors, we don’t believe that a company should have to change its existing business practices to suit a software package.

Windward Software has been in the business since 1984, and our client base includes businesses throughout the world. Our clients are based in Canada, United States, Australia, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Bermuda, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and many others.

The Developers of Windward Software

We’ve gained extensive experience over the years, and have learned that every business is unique and that a sound business software solution must accommodate the user and their needs. With Windward’s ERP software, you can configure the system with soft switches to make the system work the way you need it to.

"Our goal is to make this software easy and fast to learn. We do this with Windows technology for point-and-click operation while still employing keyboards, barcode scanners, macro keyboards, weigh scales and other time-saving point of sale hardware devices."

Progression

We’ve kept ahead of the competition by creating ERP software that features inventory management, e-commerce, manufacturer parts catalogs, electronic purchase order systems, and more. We’ve also developed strategic partnerships with credit card processing systems and other reputable organizations to provide the best service possible.

Our knowledge is deep and our software is strong. Our ERP software has hundreds of features, ensuring that your business management software functions the way you need it to. And because we don’t just sell the software, but design and build it as well, if we don't have the feature you need, we can make it for you.
