MyVBO offers real-time business statistics via QuickBooks and Google Analytics, stock tracking, news and video feeds, market and price history on frequently-purchased products, and the ability to purchase those products via the MyVBO purchasing engine, which sends the requested orders, out to thousands of sales outlets across the web.
