In today’s fast-paced business environment, flexibility is no longer optional—it’s essential. That’s why more businesses are moving to QuickBooks Online (QBO), a cloud-based platform that allows users to manage operations from anywhere, on any device. However, for longtime QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) users, this transition can expose some critical feature gaps, particularly around B2B sales and inventory management. That’s where Erplain and Stockpit come in, helping businesses bridge the gap and transition with confidence.
While QBO offers mobility and an extensive ecosystem of integrations, it doesn’t replicate every feature found in QBD. For instance, QBD users are accustomed to robust inventory management tools like sales orders, multiple price levels, advanced reporting, and location-based inventory tracking. With Intuit shifting its focus away from Desktop versions and phasing out most QBD plans in favor of Online, businesses need solutions that ensure they don't lose functionality when making the move.
Erplain delivers a full B2B sales and inventory management solution tailored for small businesses. It covers the complete sales cycle—from estimates to invoices—while providing tools to manage stock across multiple warehouses. Erplain supports client-specific pricing, batch tracking with expiration dates, automatic stock updates, and smart purchasing based on customizable reorder points. A popular feature is the B2B Store, which empowers resellers with 24/7 self-service ordering, personalized catalogs and pricing, and a branded interface that simplifies restocking and order tracking. Orders placed in the B2B Store sync instantly with Erplain’s back office, streamlining fulfillment and boosting revenue. With real-time native integration to QBO, customers, suppliers, invoices, and inventory data stay synchronized effortlessly.
Stockpit is designed for users who primarily need advanced inventory management to complement QuickBooks Online’s sales and invoicing capabilities. It provides essential tools, including multiple stock location tracking, batch management, reserved inventory, and customizable reorder points. With instant syncing to QBO, businesses can prevent stockouts, streamline operations, and maintain control over critical inventory processes.
Both Erplain and Stockpit are trusted by hundreds of companies for their ability to bridge the feature gap when moving from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. They offer a proven and reliable way to preserve essential workflows while gaining the benefits of flexibility, collaboration, and scalability that the cloud provides.
If your customers are considering the move to QBO but are concerned about losing key inventory and sales functionality, Erplain and Stockpit provide the solutions they need.
