QuickBooks Interface
Many of the V-Twin dealers we work with have previously used QuickBooks to do their accounting but also to handle the parts Inventory, invoicing and work orders, too. While QuickBooks is great for running the financial end of the business, it’s cumbersome and awkward when it comes to the inventory and invoicing. It lacks the features we’ve put into Commander that are important to every V-Twin dealer: Parts price updating, integration to EPC catalogs, electronic PO uploads to vendors, warehouse locators and more.
But because QuickBooks works so well for financial management (AR, AP, GL, PR) we suggest you keep QuickBooks to do the financial end of your business and replace QuickBooks inventory and invoicing functions with Commander industry specific Parts, Service and Sales software.
Then with our QuickBooks Interface, let Commander move the transactions made in Commander over to QuickBooks electronically. There’s no manual posting of Invoices or Repair Orders or Sales Invoices. The interface will even posts payments over to QuickBooks!
