I'm experiencing a good problem. I am growing faster than my infrastructure will comfortably allow. As of now, the invoicing and tracking, and billing is done in about three different programs... and it's becoming a pain.
We use a POS system that was initially made for dry cleaners, it prints a tag, which is nice, it prints a reciept which is also nice for walk in customers, but it does not print an invoice. (Which is what over half of my customers really need) --- so I have to go to the register, create the ticket, and get my invoice number to make the quotes for, then go to excel and make the quote (which later becomes the invoice) -- and if it changes, or is approved, go back to the register and make the changes.
When it was just me it wasn't such a big deal, but now I have salespeople. Keeping track of everything is really becoming an issue. Then at the weeks end, we have to take all of the receipts, print out summaries for the week and make sure they add up, and enter it into quicken to do the books. PITA.
What are you guys using? Is there a software made for sign companies that will run a cash register, print receipts, do billing, print invoices, etc? I found Quickbooks POS, and it will ALMOST do what id like it to do..
What I REALLY would like, is something that does it all, that I can send people out in the field using a tablet, and generate quotes and invoices on the fly, and all be integrated into the same database for the end of the week book-keeping. Logmein.com, or gotomypc both have apps i think, so I guess the dedicated app isn't a deal breaker.
