"Australian developer, OneSaaS\u00A0and online accounting startup Saasu, have done the more serious sellers on TradeMe, New Zealand\u2019s answer to Ebay, a massive favour before Christmas.\r\n\r\nThey've\u00A0enabled the \u00A0integration of Saasu's\u00A0leading cloud-based accounting system\u00A0with the TradeMe API to ensure that sellers can now run fully automated accounting and order flow systems front-ended by their TradeMe stores.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t be fooled into thinking that because it\u2019s based in New Zealand, and isn\u2019t Ebay, that TradeMe isn\u2019t significant.\r\n\r\nThe company, which was founded in 1999, is the second most visited site in New Zealand (after Google) and was sold to Fairfax media in 2006 for NZ$700 Million (approximately $US430M at the time). It also competes directly with Google New Zealand and blows it out of the water in terms of visits and revenues.\r\n\r\nSaasu is also a growing success story in the online accounting space, winning customers and partners away from all major accounting platforms it competes against\r\n\r\nThe integration of the two brings a new level of professionalism and automation to TradeMe sellers.\r\n\r\nSaasu CEO, marc Lehmann explains this a little further:\r\n\r\n\u201CThe connector between Saasu and Trade Me is very liberating. It removes the shackles businesses have suffered for too long. Keying data manually into older style accounting systems has to end. Even bank feeds are insufficient for this type of business which demands real-time, inventory based transactional information to process orders.\u201D\r\n\r\nThat's great news for TradeMe sellers and great news for OneSaas and Saasu, as their services are made available to a a huge new group of potential customers."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
