A few mentions from the Sleeter Group Conference
In November my partner Vicki and I went to the Sleeter Group Conference in Orlando FL. This is a group of approximately 400 people who have either Accounting or IT backgrounds that use QuickBooks as their main focus with integrated systems.
What do I mean by 'integrated systems' you might ask? QuickBooks has an open policy on their software that lets inspiring companies write new programs that integrate with QuickBooks. When they have been approved by Intuit, they are offered as separate functionalities. They work along side QuickBooks, usually in a very specific area, like controlling inventory, and then the higher level information is directed into QuickBooks, usually on a daily basis.
We both thought the conference was great. We went there looking for particular solutions for clients, and to be able to see some of the newer software products live. It didn't disappoint.
At present I am using software by BillQuick I found there for one of my clients. It's working great for the project they were starting up. We have several lawyers with WebSuite access, and it's all filtering into BillQuick, then into QuickBooks. The support I got from BillQuick starting up was fantastic! If you want to know more about what this can do for you , or if you have people in the field needing to invoice, send me a comment and I'll tell you more.
Some other great software we found is ShareFile. A company based in Raleigh, they have come up with a great, secure way to share sensitive information without having to email. And Method is a great CRM product, but so much more. It is really good with Inventory and has different plug -in modules so you can really customize it. Fishbowl was another- if you have a large inventory, and in several sites, this might be what your looking for.
We came back excited for the possibilities for our clients to be really organized and increase productivity.
Also, we met fantastic people there that do the same thing as us, and it was great to share best practises and exchange cards for future chats.
