A ProAdvisor recently sent me an email asking if I had ever considered doing a comparison of manufacturing solutions. I could hardly believe the question, since I just finished a comprehensive comparison of 12 products within the last six months.
When I told her that, she said, "I never saw that comparison."
And so I told her about the 12-part series titled, "Comparing Assemblies Across Software," which focused on the most critical elements of manufacturing software, including item types and setup, assembly configuration, routing or staging, and shop/project control.
A few days later, unbelievably, another ProAdvisor asked if I was familiar with a specific manufacturing product and if I had ever written anything about it.
Sure enough, it was on the list of the 12 products I featured.
After some research, I discovered why so many people were confused – I didn’t list the exact products in the titles of the articles where I did the comparisons.
So, if you're a QuickBooks ProAdvisor interested in details, here are the links to those articles listed by product names.
Part 3 – All Orders by NumberCruncher
Part 4 – Acctivate by Alterity, Inc.
Part 7 – SOS Inventory for QBO
If you're a ProAdvisor looking for details on great manufacturing solutions that work with QuickBooks, hopefully this will help you find the specific product you're interested in. Then you can take the time to compare and contrast it to some of the other solutions I wrote about.
