During these unprecedented times, COVID-19 has completely changed our daily lives. The way that consumers are shopping to get those essential food items such as milk, bread and cleaning items has changed due to lockdown and social distancing measures being put into place. Many more are turning to online deliveries to get what they need but encounter long waits for deliveries, face long queues outside the supermarket and some empty shelves due to panic buying and stockpiling.

On Wednesday 20th May, we are set to host Dynamics Sofa Summit II: Lockdown Continues and you’re invited! This time, our session tracks will be dedicated to more specific roles in areas of finance, supply chain, manufacturing and more.

Last month the whole of the UK was turned on their heads when the country was essentially shut down due to Covid-19. In the construction industry building sites up and down the country turned into ghost towns, with half-finished projects and building materials manufacturers and distributors not knowing when they would be back to ‘normal’. According to IHS Markit, 75% of manufacturers they surveyed in the last month reported a drop in activity due to Covid-19. Not surprising, to say the least.  

Companies now have more time to get their systems ready to submit their VAT return using ‘digital links’. This is particularly relevant to those using multiple systems and some form of ‘bridging solution’ (often a spreadsheet type solution).

In the current lockdown, lots of people are getting to know Microsoft Teams as a video conferencing tool but having used it daily for over 3 months, I’ve discovered it’s so much more than just a way to conduct meetings remotely!

It's fair to say, a lot of people are either wondering what to do with their business or just tired of Netflix. Wouldn't it be great if there were a series of useful webinars to turn you attention towards?
