According to recent research, in excess of 50% of existing Pastel customers do not make use of the feature rich functionality that the Pastel product range offers. The scalable accounting software, invoicing software, ERP software and business software that Softline Pastel supplies includes the following products:

My Invoicing – invoicing software to manage customer invoices, payments and statements
My Business Online – South Africa’s first online accounting solution
My Business – business software to manage customers, suppliers, income, expenses, item costs and bank accounts
Pastel Xpress Start-Up - ideal accounting software for small businesses with a single user, for single company use
Pastel Xpress – ideal accounting software for small businesses with 1-3 users
Pastel Partner – a multi-company, multi-currency accounting software solution, with business-specific add-on modules, for 1-20 users
Pastel Evolution – an integrated ERP software and management tool which provides comprehensive functionality and add-on modules to manage all aspects of your business

Yet, with all this functionality and more, clients are not making full use of their accounting software solution. For this reason, the Pastel Authorised Training Centre (ATC) programme has been created to play a prominent role in increasing the skills level and facilitating the desired knowledge transfer in the SME business environment.

Pastel Authorised Training Centres are independent organisations that deliver a range of educational and vocational services based on the Pastel Accounting software range. The Pastel ATC programme is global and implemented through a diverse distribution strategy. It is considered an important resource for training on Pastel Accounting and related Pastel Software.

Become a Pastel ATC if:

• Your company provides training services based on Pastel Accounting and related business products.
• You would like to be recognised for your Pastel product knowledge and expertise by displaying the unique Pastel ATC logo.
• You would like to receive unique product benefits, such as prescribed numbers of software training-use licenses, access to training resources and content as well as sales resources for Pastel training offerings.
