The ability to connect remotely as if you were in the shop is not currently available: your data lives on a PC in the bookshop so you have to be on the same network for that to work. However, there are options and these are:
- Google Remote Desktop – free.
- Team Viewer. Paid for application but probably a bit better than Google Remote.
- VPN – this is a way to connect as though you were on the same network, but you would need someone to set that up for you.
- Microsoft Azure – this is the most expensive option and it would take a lot of setting up. We would put your database into the Cloud, which would mean that you would be able to connect from anywhere at any time. However, this costs £80 plus per month and is generally an option for larger businesses.
