Mustard Seed Systems Corporation started its operations in September 1999. The company was set-up mainly to distribute and sell off-the- shelf accounting and POS software in the Philippines. Given its inherent advantage of lower cost plus fast and easy implementation as compared to customized systems, off-the- shelf accounting software became very popular among Small Medium Businesses in the Philippines, thus helping Mustard Seed grow its install base to approximately 16,000 corporations today.
