QuickBooks® Inventory
Control and Business
Management Software

Well-designed inventory and business management software delivers a wealth of functionality to users and provides
them the ability to increase control, productivity and efficiency in their business.

There are two philosophies regarding packaging features in software. The one-size fits all approach, where all features, including specialty ones, are included in one version of the software, and requires all users to receive and pay for all
the functionality, needed or not.

The second approach is to include the functionality that is required by nearly all businesses in a standard version
of the software, with specialized functionality available, at an additional fee, to those that require that capability.

We believe the latter option is a better method of fulfilling business needs, while keeping price levels fair. With over two decades of developing software for distribution businesses, we have a good understanding of the functionality required
and desired by small and mid-size distribution companies and include those hundreds of features in our standard
software package.

We also believe that a distribution business doesn't stop at the warehouse door and include a robust set of business management tools, including customer relationship management, purchasing, sales order management and decision support tools.

Additionally, we have a set of add-on modules for specialized inventory or business management features, such as
mobile computing, to provide the capability to those companies needing it.

QuickBooks accounting software from Intuit® is the most popular accounting software for small and mid-sized businesses. QuickBooks provides a robust set of accounting tools, but does not handle many of the other functions required by businesses, such as inventory, warehousing, CRM, sales order management and decision support.

ACCTivate!'s Inventory software for QuickBooks seamlessly integrates with QuickBooks, delivering the best user experience across the entire company.
