The Goodnews system and software was initially developed by Martin Halo back in 1983. The purpose developed hardware and software maintained the complex ledger system that Newsagents used throughout the country. It produced delivery round sheets for the paper boys/girls and simple accounting for customer payments and catered for the complex holiday stops/starts etc. The Halo Goodnews software and hardware was continually developed throughout the 1980’s with the Goodnews software specifications and upgrades provided by Andrew. By 1990 the Halo Goodnews was probably the most reputable product of its kind on the market. Andrew led a team of Field Service Engineers and a Customer Service & Support Centre, primarily focusing on the Halo Goodnews product in the UK, while other divisions of Halo developed products for the European Retail Market.
