What Small Businesses are Saying

The reporting features within Enterprise Solutions have proven beneficial and necessary to my business. I use everything from Profit and Loss reports to the monthly/quarterly/yearly reports to get a better understanding of where we stand as a business.

"Being able to analyze the data and customize the reports to what I want has been a nice feature. Through some invoice customization and extracting specific sales reports in Enterprise Solutions I can create the exact data that is beneficial for my business."
Kevin Daroca, Owner, Design Mart Silicon Valley, LLC, San Jose, CA


Reporting has been a huge benefit to my business. There are so many different reports to use and read, as well as customizing your own. I always need reports for the bank and my CPA and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions help with that."
Stephen Falcy, Owner, West Coast Wire and Terminals, Sacramento, CA


By utilizing advanced inventory, we now have the ability to move product from one facility to the other without having to create a cluttering transaction and know how much of each product is available at each location and combined between the two plants at any time.

"For a company like us that is constantly "juggling" inventory between both facilities to be able to service each customer's orders, QuickBooks Advanced Inventory has been fabulous."
Tim Foster, Red Smith Foods, Inc., Davie, Florida


Now we can track by serial number which is important because we have a second location in the United Kingdom that serves as a fulfillment warehouse. Inventory by site and the product transfers features has been perfect for our business.

"Prior to using advanced inventory I had to use a lot of workaround methods to keep track of my inventory and that became a hassle and was very time-consuming. At the end of the year I had to manually enter items to balance things out and now I don't have to do that. It saves time and money."
Rick Jones, Owner, Acoustic Image, Raleigh, NC


We went from QuickBooks Premier to Enterprise Solutions because of the inventory management features and the flexibility it gave us to segregate and differentiate our inventory."
Kevin Daroca, Owner, Design Mart Silicon Valley, LLC, San Jose, CA


While my business continues to become more sophisticated and we make plans for the future, I know I can use the various reporting features to help adjust to the changes."
Kevin Daroca, Owner, Design Mart Silicon Valley, LLC, San Jose, CA


One thing we love is the technical support. We purchased the support plan through Intuit and have used it with successful outcomes."
Yumaris Calonje, Chemtex International, Sunnyvale, CA


Our company has been using QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions since 2010. We were previously using the Pro version but as our company grew we needed to have multiple users. Before only accounting entering data would use the program but it is important that other people had access to QuickBooks."
Mike Lewis, Vice President, UHI Worldwide, Inc., Elkhart, IN


We have been using QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions for 3 years. Before that we were using both the Pro and Premier versions. We made the switch because being an engineer I needed something simple to use and learn since I don't have an accounting background."
Rick Jones, Owner, Acoustic Image, Raleigh, NC


We have been using QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions since 2005. Previously the company was using a custom made system that cost over $20,000. Unfortunately, the computer died and we lost the entire program. I heard about Enterprise Solutions and we have liked it since day 1.

"Learning QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions has been relatively simple. I had originally tried Peachtree but Enterprise Solutions was smooth, visual and had more customization."
Stephen Falcy, Owner, West Coast Wire and Terminals, Sacramento, CA


"When I first joined the company they were using a different accounting software that was bulky, cumbersome and not user friendly. I was familiar with QuickBooks in my past experiences and thought it was the right choice for the company."
Mike Lewis, Vice President, UHI Worldwide, Inc., Elkhart, IN

FAQs

General Information

  1. Can I still manage my client's files if they're using Enterprise Solutions?
  2. What if my client changes his/her mind — what is your return policy?
  3. How do performance, stability and database connectivity measure up?





General Information

  1. Can I still manage my client's files if they're using Enterprise Solutions?

    We've created a single-license version of the Enterprise Solutions software that allows accountants to manage their clients who are using the software. It's called QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions Accountant. This software is included in the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program.

  1. What if my client changes his/her mind — what is your return policy?

    We stand behind Enterprise Solutions with a money-back satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied, return it to Intuit within 60 days along with a dated receipt for a refund on your purchase price. That means your clients can try it with no risk whatsoever.

  1. How do performance, stability and database connectivity measure up?

    To maximize multiple user productivity, Enterprise Solutions multi-user mode is optimized for Microsoft® Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 client-server networks. Your clients now have the option of hosting your database server on a Linux operating system. Enterprise Solutions is also Remote Desktop Services compliant.7 You can centrally locate Enterprise Solutions on a single server and provide access to your multiple users via the LAN or WAN for remote locations. As a result, you don't have to install Enterprise Solutions on each user's PC and you can maximize performance over lower bandwidth connections.

    Enterprise Solutions has a powerful industry-standard SQL database to deliver the best performance for the application. QuickBooks Software Development Kit (SDK) provides APIs to developers and consultants to easily share (import and export) data from Enterprise Solutions. This allows selected sales, customer or financial data to automatically move between software products and prevents data from being corrupted in the sharing process. A free copy of SDK can be downloaded from http://developer.intuit.com. Over 200 business applications (sold separately) integrate with QuickBooks using the SDK.9

Resources

Switching Center

Intuit provides free data transfer tools so you can easily transfer your existing data from programs such as Microsoft Excel, Peachtree and QuickBooks Pro and Premier.
