Spend less time managing paperwork and more time getting boats back on the water—with Commander.

Commander offers a sales piece for new & used boats, motors and trailers. When you sell a boat, motor or trailer, Commander will calculate monthly payments based on the loan term and APR for each deal. It will then export the invoice data onto your sales documents, purchase agreements, bank contracts and forms, saving you time and making boat sales seamless.

Commander and QuickBooks Work Well Together

Quickbooks is a great accounting system, so keep using it for your financial reporting. But Commander’s superior POS and Inventory functionality makes it by far, the best choice to drive your parts, service and sales departments.

Commander integrates to Quickbooks and will automatically post sales transactions and payments to QuickBooks. This integration provides much improved functionality for your business!
