Track Inventory in QuickBooks?

Alterity, the creators of Acctivate, which is a leading inventory management add-on for QuickBooks, have recently released their "EZ Analytics for Inventory" software that plugs into QuickBooks 2009 and 2010 (Pro, Premier and Enterprise Windows versions only). EZ Analytics for Inventory is designed to help businesses improve their inventory forecasting process while trying to find the optimum balance between customer service and inventory investment.

Inside EZ Analytics for Inventory you will find the following functionality:

* Monthly Sales Analysis

* Overstock Analysis

* Understock Analysis

* Reorder Analysis

Each of these reports is designed to pull your QuickBooks data and then analyze it against the desired objective of the report.

You can't beat the price of this software - it is currently free. The trade-off is that it is in beta form right now. The good news about it being in beta is that the developers would love to hear from you about how to make the product even better when it comes to managing your inventory.

This add-on concept relating to inventory management is excellent, as QuickBooks itself has been lacking in many respects in that area.

Take a look at EZ Analytics for Inventory and share your comments and insight below so the tens of thousands of businesses looking for inventory management tools for QuickBooks know how it works for you.

Managing the Paperwork - Greetings All, As we all know, when an Entrepreneur starts his/her business, there is a ton of paperwork to deal with. Who wants that? All we want to do is do our work and make money while solving people's problems with our brilliance! The purpose of this thread is to find out what everyone has done to manage their paperwork/bills. I, for one, am horrible at managing such things. I still have quite a number of receipts that have to be inputted into QuickBooks Pro from last year! I'm a techie and can fix pretty much any PC issues or develop some awesome online marketing ideas for businesses....but please, dont' ask me to figure out how QBPro calculates taxes and why the GST has to be separated in the setup and inputting in the Enter Bills area. To me, this is confusing (and you too after re-reading that paragraph....) So, in the past I tried a high-school Co-Op student. This was a brilliant way to get someone who knows QuickBooks and did not cost me any money. The downside, rules stated that I could not leave him alone. So if I went out on a call, so did he. He brought paperwork to do stuff while we were out so it wasn't too bad. The other downside, he didn't truly want to be an accountant as he was late at _least_ once a week as well as absent at least one day a week (keeping in mind he was only with me 4 days a week). A pure example of someone being forced to follow a parent's footsteps. So, that little experiment went well. I did get some great work from him when he was there. I still used a regular accountant to do my taxes and they talked back and forth easily to make sure my stuff was inline. I would consider doing this again. Currently, I am looking at hiring someone for a couple of hours a week. My schedule is not at all static. I could be in Algonquin Park one day and Sarnia the next. So, having someone work once a week is a much better solution for my scenario. Has anyone done anything different? If so, what has and has not worked for you so far?

QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
How To Use Free Promotions For Your Internet Business? - In my opinion, the most challenging task about running a successful Internet business is how to effectively market your website with low cost strategies or using free promotions. Here are some guidelines on how to acquire free Internet business promotions for your website to drive more traffic and increase your revenue: 1. If you have started to promote your Internet business, keep it constant. If you promote your site with persistence, it will catch your audience’s attention. 2. Be patient. Try each method in promotion until you acquire the best, free promotion there is. You have to accept trial and error for your Internet business to reach the top. Free And Effective Promotions To Try There are many ways for your Internet business to be seen. Here are some free Internet business promotions you could try until you find the most effective. * Free promotions such as search engines and directories would give your web site the deserved traffic you always wanted. Make a point to check your Internet business ranking to know whether or not this type of free promotion is right for you. * Make a deal with other Internet business blogs on trading links which could help both web sites. * Think about what you’ve read so far. Does it reinforce what you already know about Internet business Promotion? Or was there something completely new? What about the remaining paragraphs? Make sure to use words that could easily interest the audience. * Find free classified ads that could boost the promotion of your Internet business. These ads could be seen by other people who you are not targeting for, but may as well be interested in your services. * Free and low - cost internet banners are spread all through out the World Wide Web. Banners that pop up at the top of a page or in a separate window would automatically catch your target audience’s attention. If your Internet business and its free promotion did not work even after accomplishing these methods, analyse your website. Track down all visitors, advertisements, and transactions. Then locate errors in your Internet business blog. Upload new files to your Internet business blog continuously for audience to return for new products and services. Monitor your own Internet business to see if it’s up in the market or down. Then be ready to try the methods again and surely it will work. It has always been said that the best things in life are free. Yes they are. And as soon as your free Internet business promotion proves to the audience its worth, then you’ll believe it’s true.
