We started working with a new client that definitely is feeling the pain with Quickbooks. Their Quickbooks file is now 2.5 gigbytes which is considered pretty large. Here are a couple issues they are facing:
- The system can be very slow to use. At times, it is so slow, they can’t get processing done.
- The Quickbooks file easily corrupts causing them to have their employees logout, perform some technical checks, and then hope they can get back into the system.
The client is facing all the classic Quickbooks “Choking your Growth” issues. When we first spoke, the client identified with all the issues in this article:
- Many side spreadsheet systems
- Heavy dependency on the accountant to compile information
- Reports tell them conflicting things
- When traveling, they must rely on people in the office to get information
- And of course, it is very slow to load, performs poorly, and they have data corruption
The good news is the client is using many aspects of QuickBooks which is going to make it easy to transition to NetSuite:
- eCommerce
- Phone based order entry
- Inventory control
- Warehouse management
- Integration to UPS Worldship
- Integrated Credit card processing
- Financial accounting
A large QuickBooks file is small in the NetSuite environment. And the client is enthusiastic because they can’t wait to activate all the NetSuite CRM related aspects including outbound email marketing.
