Financials, CRM, Inventory and Ecommerce Software

By Jim Dixon

QuickBooks and Peachtree have been accredited for many small businesses success. These software's offer, extensible and easy to use starting bases for small business that are interested in keeping a tight knit environment.

The programs offer accounting and projects programs. Some software programs do not offer the extensive programs that an expanding business needs. When an expanding company needs to have the ability to combine financing with customer records that may be a reason why a company would need to look for a better program that can handle their needs.

If you are running a simple sales force automation system like ACT!, Salesforce.com or Goldmine, and the quoting and customer master records are not tied to your accounting systems items, that may be another problem.

With an expanding company small business practices are only wasteful of time and leave room for mistakes. Spreadsheets can only handle so much.

The justification for a systematic planning and scheduling system tied to your back office may be in inventory reduction, improved customer service, or lead-time reduction. If you can add an 'available to promise,' to commit an order to a key prospect or customer, you may be able to improve your top line as well.

When a sense of security is present with a company that has the means for promised satisfaction then the customers feels more a t ease and has trust with the growing company.
