      <content:encoded>&lt;h2 style="line-height: 1.15; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Introducing Smart Grid: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;A New Way to Work Across Customers, Suppliers and Jobs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  
&lt;div style="line-height: 20px; font-size: 16px;"&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;Infusion Software has released a major upgrade to its SaaS platform with the introduction of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;Smart Grid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt; — a new, high‑performance interface now live across core customer, supplier, product, and job workflows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Smart Grid modernises Infusion’s core operational screens, delivering faster performance, greater flexibility, and a consistent experience across the areas teams use every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
 &lt;h4&gt;A faster, unified way to work&lt;/h4&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Smart Grid introduces a consistent, high‑performance data grid across key operational areas, including customer lists, enquiries, quotes, invoices, payments, backorders, suppliers, purchase orders, products, and jobs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Users will notice immediate improvements, such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Faster loading and paging of large datasets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Inline editing at scale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;The ability to select, hide, and reorder columns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Column settings saved per screen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Fast export from any grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;A consistent interface that reduces training time and user error&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Together, these improvements make it easier for teams to work efficiently with large volumes of data without switching screens or breaking focus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
 &lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Better visibility across customers, suppliers, and products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;The Smart Grid experience makes it quicker and easier to find, review, and update information across customers, suppliers, and products.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Teams can respond to customer queries more confidently, manage suppliers and purchasing with greater visibility, and perform product and job operations accurately — all within a familiar, consistent interface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
 &lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Next: Smart Grid for Purchase Order Receipting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;The next release continues this momentum with a new Smart Grid‑based receipting screen. This includes enhanced sorting and filtering, along with inline editing of receipt lines to reduce rework and improve accuracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
 &lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Long‑term value and a modern foundation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;This rollout updates Infusion’s core operational screens without disrupting existing processes, while laying the groundwork for future enhancements in reporting, automation, and multi‑currency workflows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Smart Grid provides a modern, scalable foundation that supports both immediate productivity gains and long‑term platform evolution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  
 &lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Organisations can&lt;span style="color: #00a483;"&gt; &lt;a href="https://infusion.nz/contact-us" style="color: #00a483;"&gt;contact Infusion&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to learn more about rollout options or to enable the new Smart Grid views.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Cloud ERP Explained: Why SMBs Are Making the Shift</title>
      <link>https://infusion.nz/news-and-insights/what-is-cloud-erp-and-why-smbs-are-moving-to-it</link>
      <description>&lt;div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper"&gt; 
 &lt;a href="https://infusion.nz/news-and-insights/what-is-cloud-erp-and-why-smbs-are-moving-to-it" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://infusion.nz/hubfs/smiling-positive-carpenter-using-laptop-computer-carpentry-workshop-sharing-ideas.jpg" alt="Cloud ERP Explained: Why SMBs Are Making the Shift" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;What is Cloud ERP (and Why SMBs Are Moving to It)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;What is Cloud ERP (and Why SMBs Are Moving to It)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;  
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;As small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) grow, complexity often grows with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;What once felt manageable — spreadsheets, accounting software, and a handful of add-ons — can quickly become fragmented. Information lives in multiple systems. Processes rely on manual workarounds. Reporting takes longer. And instead of gaining clarity, decision-making becomes harder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;This is where Cloud ERP comes into the picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;But what exactly is Cloud ERP, and why are so many SMBs making the move?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;What is Cloud ERP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Cloud ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a business management system that brings all your core business processes into one single connected platform and hosted in the cloud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Instead of using separate tools for accounting, inventory, purchasing, sales, and reporting, Cloud ERP integrates everything into a single source of truth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;At its core, a Cloud ERP system helps you manage:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul style="font-size: 16px;"&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Financials (accounting, reporting, cash flow)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Inventory and stock control&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Sales and purchasing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Operations and workflows&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Business-wide reporting and insights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Because it’s cloud-based, you can access it from anywhere, with real-time data that updates across the entire system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;How Is Cloud ERP Different from Traditional ERP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Traditional ERP systems were built for large enterprises. They were:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Expensive to implement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Complex to maintain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Hosted on-premise&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Slow to adapt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Cloud ERP changes that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Modern Cloud ERP solutions are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Accessible – no servers or heavy infrastructure required&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Flexible – built to adapt as your business grows&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Scalable – start small and expand over time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Connected – integrates easily with tools like Xero and other cloud apps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;For SMBs, this shift makes ERP not just possible—but practical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Why SMBs Are Moving to Cloud ERP&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;h5 style="line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;1. Outgrowing Accounting Software Alone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Accounting platforms like Xero are powerful—but they’re not designed to run your entire business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;As companies grow, they often bolt on additional tools for inventory, job tracking, CRM, and reporting. Over time, this creates a disconnected system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Cloud ERP solves this by bringing everything together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;h5 style="line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;2. Too Many Add-ons, Not Enough Clarity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Using multiple add-ons can work—until it doesn’t.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Common challenges include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Data inconsistencies between systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Manual data entry and duplication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Broken integrations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Limited visibility across the business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Cloud ERP replaces this patchwork with a unified platform, reducing complexity and improving accuracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;h5 style="line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;3. The Need for Real-Time Visibility&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;When data is spread across systems, reporting becomes slow and reactive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Cloud ERP provides:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul style="font-size: 16px;"&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Real-time financial and operational data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Consolidated reporting across departments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;Better forecasting and planning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;This allows business owners and managers to make faster, more informed decisions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;h5 style="line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;4. Scaling Without Breaking Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Growth often exposes the limitations of existing tools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;What worked at $1M in revenue doesn’t work at $5M or $10M.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Cloud ERP systems are designed to scale with your business — supporting more &lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;transactions, more users, and more complexity without needing to rebuild your tech stack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;h5 style="line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #060131;"&gt;5. Reducing Manual Work and Errors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Disconnected systems create manual processes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li style="font-size: 16px;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;Re-entering&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt; data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li style="font-size: 16px;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;Reconciling &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;mismatched records&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li style="font-size: 16px;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;Fixing errors across &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;platforms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Cloud ERP automates and streamlines these workflows, reducing errors and freeing up time for higher-value work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style="line-height: 20px;"&gt; 
 &lt;h4&gt;The Bottom Line&lt;/h4&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;For SMBs navigating growth, Cloud ERP provides structure, visibility, and scalability — without the heavy burden of traditional ERP systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;By unifying financials, operations, and reporting into a single cloud platform, businesses can simplify processes, improve decision-making, and build a foundation that supports continued growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: #060131;"&gt;Cloud ERP isn’t just a system upgrade — it’s a better way to run a growing business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>End of Financial Year Checklist: Essential Tasks for NZ Businesses</title>

 &lt;a href="https://infusion.nz/news-and-insights/end-of-financial-year-checklist-essential-tasks-for-nz-businesses" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://infusion.nz/hubfs/222.jpg" alt="End of Financial Year Checklist: Essential Tasks for NZ Businesses" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;To make things easier, here are a few key checks and actions to help ensure a smoother transition into the new financial year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;To make things easier, here are a few key checks and actions to help ensure a smoother transition into the new financial year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Not all of these points will be applicable to every business, so it’s worth checking with your business partner or accountant on what needs to be done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;Check all transactions&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Through March, set aside time to ensure that you have entered in all of the transactions that have happened. &amp;nbsp;Particularly look for all transactions that will need to be converted, such as an invoice from a quote. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Additionally, if there are any supplier or customer credits that have been created that need to be applied, now is the time to do it. If the credit doesn’t have a corresponding transaction or can’t be applied yet, then its ok to leave them until you have everything you need.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;Check all transactions&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Through March, set aside time to ensure that you have entered in all of the transactions that have happened. Particularly look for all transactions that will need to be converted, such as an invoice from a quote.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Additionally, if there are any supplier or customer credits that have been created that need to be applied, now is the time to do it. If the credit doesn’t have a corresponding transaction or can’t be applied yet, then its ok to leave them until you have everything you need.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;Complete all processes&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Although many of these are regular processes for most users, it's important to complete them to ensure everything is updated and ready for the new financial year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you sell inventory, a stocktake done close to the end of the financial year is recommended. This lets you capture all of the inventory movements and ensure you have an accurate figure of on-hand quantities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you have set up Bank Feeds, ensure they are refreshed regularly and reconcile all transactions throughout March to ensure you haven’t missed any. If you don’t have Bank Feeds, you’ll still need to complete the monthly bank reconciliation when your bank provides you with the monthly transaction information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Unless you are a business that takes full payment at the time of the transaction, you’ll need to send your customers a monthly statement. This lets them know how much they owe and will need to pay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Once you have recorded all transactions for the financial year, you can prepare the GST return. It’s also worth checking the return with your accountant or tax advisor to ensure there are no mistakes or missed figures. Depending on your accountant or tax advisor, they may want to prepare this on your behalf.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4&gt;Review your records&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Once everything has been entered, it’s time to review your reports and records. Not just to look for anything out of place but to really look at the numbers to identify areas that might not be performing as well as planned.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Review unprocessed transactions, such as quotes and purchase orders, to see if any will need to be chased up, if they have been recorded as duplicates, or if they can be closed off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Run the Stock movement report to determine how quickly stock is moving. If there are products that are moving slower than expected, it may be worth discounting them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It’s also good practice to go through other reports and transactions to see if anything needs further investigation, such as something looking amiss or outside the norm for that customer, supplier or account. For example, if customer “Bob” normally purchases $300 at a time, and there’s one sale that’s $600, this might be worth looking into. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Lastly, once you’ve had your accountant confirm everything is correct, it’s time to close off the financial year. This can’t be undone and should only be performed once everything else has been completed and your accountant is happy with all of your records.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4&gt;Need a hand? We’re here to help!&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Wrapping up the financial year doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right processes in place, you can ensure a smooth transition into the new year and set your business up for success.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you need assistance or have any questions, our team is here to help.

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s New in Release 2025-Q2-R1&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warranty Settings &amp;amp; Management&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You can now fully configure warranty settings within Infusion. This includes creating Warranty Types and Usage Types via &lt;em&gt;Customer Items Settings&lt;/em&gt;. Recording warranties on customer items is easier than ever. You can assign warranty details directly to customer items, with the option to link or unlink warranties as needed. Existing warranty data from desktop Infusion can be migrated seamlessly, enabling a smooth transition and comprehensive warranty tracking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warranty Settings &amp;amp; Management&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Price Update on Cost Changes&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Infusion now prompts users to update prices whenever costs change across the system, such as in purchase orders, receipts, and invoices. This ensures your pricing remains accurate throughout your supply chain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Additionally:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul style="color: #050033;"&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Price changes on duplicated purchase orders are automatically dropped to avoid confusion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;When printing labels from purchase order receipts, the displayed price reflects the latest cost adjustments, including any markups or reversions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linking Jobs to Customer Items&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You can now assign customer items directly to jobs, improving tracking and management. As you create new jobs, customer items can be easily linked. The jobs listing page now supports searches by various customer item attributes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Customer items can also be migrated from the desktop version, with only active items being transferred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creating Jobs from Customer Items&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Jobs can now be initiated directly from customer item pages, with customer information and linked items pre-filled. If you change the customer before saving, Infusion will prompt you to confirm any pricing changes, ensuring job pricing remains accurate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <content:encoded>&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.1em; color: #050033;"&gt;What an incredible time connecting with so many passionate and dedicated bookkeepers at #BOOKKEEPCON25!&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;img src="https://www.infusionaccountingsoftware.com/assets/074ac174-3704-421d-9374-b1a26cf6beda.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle; height: auto;"&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This year’s #BOOKKEEPCON25 brought together bookkeepers, accounting professionals, and business owners from across New Zealand for two days of learning, networking, and innovation - and Infusion was stoked to be part of the action!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We really enjoyed meeting so many of you at the Infusion booth and it was a great opportunity to showcase our latest features and share how Infusion’s business management software is helping bookkeepers and small businesses streamline operations, save time, and work smarter every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We were proud to sponsor the event’s Photo Booth, helping capture the smiles, laughter, and memorable moments of #BOOKKEEPCON25. It was fantastic to see so many attendees having fun and taking home photos as a keepsake from their time at the conference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;And of course, we can’t forget the excitement of our $1,500 Dream Holiday Giveaway! Attendees had the chance to enter throughout the event, and we were happy to announce Sue Inkersell as the lucky winner of this fantastic prize. We hope it helps create an unforgettable getaway!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A big thank you to the organisers of #BOOKKEEPCON25 for hosting such a valuable and inspiring event. We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to connect, share ideas, and continue supporting the amazing bookkeeping community here in New Zealand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.1em; color: #050033;"&gt;Infusion is The Solution for Modern NZ Bookkeepers&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;As we continue to grow, so too is the need for new partners who share our passion for helping businesses thrive. Whether you’re an accountant, bookkeeper, or business advisor, partnering with Infusion means offering your clients a future-ready, cloud-based ERP solution that delivers real results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;For years, Infusion has been trusted by Kiwi businesses through our powerful desktop platform. Now, we’re bringing that same functionality and local support to the cloud with Infusion Online, meeting the rising demand for integrated, online software with strong functionality and flexible access.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;As this customer base grows new partners will be needed to provide bookkeeping and payroll services, and familiarity with Infusion online will be important. We are excited to work with partners who want to be part of this growth journey.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.1em; color: #050033;"&gt;What’s Next at Infusion?&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;We have some exciting projects ahead including a revamp of our current website to better showcase what Infusion Online can do for businesses.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;Our goal is to deliver a smoother, more intuitive online experience where you can easily find the information you need, explore key features, and stay up to date with fresh resources, insights, and product updates.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stay tuned - we look forward to sharing more from the Infusion Team!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Should I Switch From Desktop to Cloud Software?</title>
      <link>https://infusion.nz/news-and-insights/should-i-switch-from-desktop-to-cloud</link>
      <description>&lt;div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper"&gt; 
 &lt;a href="https://infusion.nz/news-and-insights/should-i-switch-from-desktop-to-cloud" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://infusion.nz/hubfs/plann-9v3pQ1vdBuY-unsplash%20(1)%201.jpg" alt="Should I Switch From Desktop to Cloud Software?" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h3 style="line-height: 1.1em; color: #050033;"&gt;Compelling reasons to embrace Cloud ERP and Accounting Software.&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;h3 style="line-height: 1.1em; color: #050033;"&gt;Compelling reasons to embrace Cloud ERP and Accounting Software.&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;img src="https://www.infusionaccountingsoftware.com/assets/Tile-Direct/tile-direct-workshop-collaboration-2.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle; height: auto;"&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;For decades, desktop accounting software has been the backbone of small business finance. It’s an investment many made years ago and have relied on ever since. It’s familiar, reliable, and for some, the only system they’ve ever known. But in today’s fast-paced, digitally connected world, relying solely on desktop software could be limiting your business’s ability to scale and adapt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Modern business owners now expect systems that are flexible, accessible, and capable of supporting all aspects of their operations, not just accounting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Here’s why upgrading to a cloud ERP solution like Infusion can transform the way your business operates, improve decision-making, and set you up for growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Centralised Business Management&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Cloud ERP combines accounting, inventory, job management, sales, and reporting in a single system. No more juggling multiple tools or reconciling data across spreadsheets as it’s all connected, giving you a real-time view of your business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Access Anytime, Anywhere&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Cloud ERP software allows you to access your financial data from any device with an internet connection whether it be your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. This means you can raise an invoice on a job site, check cash flow from home, or approve expenses while traveling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scalability For Growth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;As your business evolves, so do your accounting needs. Cloud ERP platforms offer scalable features, integrations, and user access, so you’re never stuck with a system that’s too small or too rigid. Whether you’re expanding your team, adding new services, or entering new markets, cloud ERP is built to handle increasing complexity without slowing you down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Security You Can Trust&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Contrary to common myths, cloud software is often more secure than desktop software. While it might seem safer to have your data all stored on one local system it can be highly vulnerable. A computer crash, a hard drive failure, or a physical theft could mean losing all your financial records instantly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Reputable providers invest heavily in encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular security audits, far beyond what most small businesses can implement on their own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Automatic Updates &amp;amp; Reliable Backups&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;With cloud ERP, your software is always up-to-date automatically. Say goodbye to expensive upgrades, patching, and manual installations. Security updates, new features, and system improvements happen in the background, so your team is always working with the latest tools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Switching from desktop accounting to a cloud ERP solution isn’t just about moving to the cloud it’s about embracing modern tools to run your business smarter and more efficiently to stay ahead in a competitive environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ready to make the move to cloud ERP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.infusionaccountingsoftware.com/assets/Tile-Direct/Untitled-design.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle; height: auto; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The conference opened with a welcome from Infusion Group’s CEO Graham Gaylard and Mike MacLennan, who took a moment to honour the late Tim Shaw, founder of Infusion Software. Their acknowledgement of Tim’s legacy set the tone for the event and reinforced our commitment to honouring the past while continuing to shape a strong future for Infusion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We then heard from our new General Manager, Robert Heebink, who shared updates on the evolution of Infusion’s strategy and culture, outlining how we are focused on scaling while holding tight to the values that shaped Infusion from the start. His session sparked conversations about growth, innovation, and how we continue delivering value to our customers and partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Gotham Medium'; font-weight: 500;"&gt;Product Highlights and What’s Coming Next&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Throughout the day, partners engaged in robust discussion around the current state of the Infusion product, including key highlights from 2025. The team also offered a look ahead at “what’s next” for 2026 including upcoming improvements and major initiatives designed to enhance performance, customer experience, and long-term platform strength.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Gotham Medium'; font-weight: 500;"&gt;External Speakers: Web Ninja &amp;amp; Crystal Payroll&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We also heard from two of our valued integration partners, Web Ninja and Crystal Payroll, who shared insights into their capabilities and the integration opportunities available. It was great to hear directly from the specialists who continue to strengthen and shape the wider ecosystem around Infusion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.infusionaccountingsoftware.com/assets/Tile-Direct/c548bed2-063d-4766-a190-80fcb90e8890.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle; height: auto;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Gotham Medium'; font-weight: 500;"&gt;Day Two: Digital Innovation and Learning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Day two kicked off with an important session on migrating customers from desktop to cloud and how we continue to make this process more seamless for our customers. This transition is central to our strategy, ensuring businesses benefit from a more scalable, secure, and future-ready platform designed to support long-term resilience and growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Our keynote speaker Jeremy Suisted from Mosaic Partners; delivered a dynamic presentation on the increasing use of AI and it’s role in business. Their message was clear: AI is a practical, powerful tool when used thoughtfully. The session provided practical advice on how to use AI which can streamline operations, support decision-making, and drive competitiveness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The morning continued with a marketing-focused session exploring the power of digital marketing and brand awareness in driving new leads and customer growth. Partners gained insight into how digital channels can support both brand building and performance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Gotham Medium'; font-weight: 500;"&gt;Closing Sessions and Partner Collaboration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We wrapped up the conference with product demonstrations and a final Q&amp;amp;A session, giving partners the opportunity to share feedback, ask questions, and discuss feature enhancements they’d like to see prioritised. These conversations are always invaluable as they help shape the direction of Infusion’s development roadmap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Gotham Medium'; font-weight: 500;"&gt;Looking Ahead to 2026&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The 2025 Partner Conference was not only an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come, but also a reminder of the expertise, and collaboration within our partner network. It was a fantastic two days filled with connection and learning and we’re feeling energised as we head into 2026 with a refreshed focus and shared vision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We would like to thank all of our partners who joined us in Rotorua. Your support, insights, and commitment continue to drive Infusion forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We’ve added a new dropdown menu in quotes, invoices, and purchase orders, allowing you to select any loaded Pricebook and choose items within it for use in the transaction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;As part of this, any products in the Pricebook that haven’t been linked to a corresponding product in Infusion will be created when the transaction is saved or posted. Take a look at our help article for all the details!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;When we introduced the first elements of Pricebooks in Infusion back in October 2024, it was only a part of a greater whole.

&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: #050033;"&gt;Shopify integration is now available&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In addition to WooCommerce, users can now integrate their Shopify webstore into Infusion. This gives you more flexibility in choosing your E-Commerce solution. With this integration, sales made in Shopify will synchronize back to Infusion, ensuring you can track all the details of sales and customers in one place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;For more details, check out our &lt;a href="https://infusion.helpjuice.com/en_AU/shopify"&gt;help section&lt;/a&gt; on this exciting new integration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: #050033;"&gt;Bank Deposit payment method filter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you regularly prepare bank deposits, you know how frustrating it can be to find all the same payment types in the list of customer payments, cash takings, and other sources of funds that need to be banked. We’ve made this much easier by introducing a filter for preparing bank deposits, allowing you to filter by a specific payment type.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;For even more convenience, if the filter is changed to a different payment type, any transactions that had been selected will remain ticked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: #050033;"&gt;Costs on serial numbers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #050033;"&gt;We’ve added the ability to track &lt;/span&gt;individual costs on serial numbers&lt;span style="color: #050033;"&gt;, allowing the &lt;/span&gt;specific costs&lt;span style="color: #050033;"&gt; of each serial number to be captured and reflected in transactions. If you prefer not to use this feature, it can be disabled in &lt;/span&gt;Product Settings&lt;span style="color: #050033;"&gt; under &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="color: #050033;"&gt;Track Costs by serial number&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: #050033;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #050033;"&gt;Total/summary lines on invoices from jobs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;To make things easier for your customers, invoices created from jobs will now consolidate lines if the same code is used. This results in a one-line summary of multiple lines with the same code, making invoices cleaner and easier to understand. If you need to see the individual lines, simply click the amount to view them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;There’s even more to discover with this release!

&lt;h4 style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: #050033;"&gt;How to upgrade to the latest release&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; 
&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; color: #050033;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
