“Not only did I get the chance to see how First Floors had embraced the revolution, they also had the carpet the Queen and Duchess of Cambridge walked on when they came to visit Scotland, so an amusing visit all round.”
First Floors specifically utilises Auto Entry – automated data entry software - that enables shop owners to manage their books more efficiently.
