"They also need customer management, order tracking, accounting, lead tracking, etc. All of the people that I could get to seriously look at Rakasheets all said the same thing." Before I got to this point in the post I kept thinking that inventory management on an island doesn't sound like a robust enough of a solution to be of much use (I admit this is an assumption and I'm biased). What would be interesting, and something that we will be looking for shortly for our platform, is an inventory management API. We've got most of the other stuff the poster mentioned, but will most likely try to find a solution to buy for inventory management instead of rolling our own, if we can. Good post - love the poster's frankness and willingness to admit his/her mistakes. Successful entrepreneurship is often an iterative, effectual undertaking. Don't expect to hit a home run, or even get a base hit your first time up to bat. It takes a couple of times through the ringer before you really get on track.
