The Problem:

An 15-year old DOS program had outgrown it's usefulness.  They ran their company with 4 different computer systems (accounting system, excel worksheets, etc).    Paper was flying everywhere.  Even though everyone was in one building, business was done with sheets of paper and communication was difficult.

The Solution:The first step in the conversion was to take the information from the old DOS systemand import it into QBES.  We imported customers, vendors, items into an existing (but under-utilized QB file).  We then imported open transactions such as open purchase and sales orders by using a transaction importer.  Allied Components was able to close out a quarter and open a new quarter in QBES with any delay.  Once they were up and running, then used the customer and vendor center to electronically communicate order status to the rest of company,  By fully utilitzing the project number and memo function in the estimate, sales and purchase orders order status could be communicated via QuickBooks and not via telephone, email, etc.  They had some specfic needs regarding shipping dates that we were able to accomodate via MS Access.  That way they are able to track the multiple shipping dates in each purchase and sales order. 

Testomonial:

"We love QuickBooks Enterprise!  It has made us much more efficient.  We have streamlined our communication and business processes.  Mary took four separate data sources and integrated them seemlessly into QuickBooks Enteprise."  -Neal McDonald, Allied Components International
