Let’s be honest, QuickBooks is great when you’re just getting started. It’s simple, affordable, and gets the job done for basic accounting and inventory tracking. But if your business is growing, chances are QuickBooks is starting to feel a little… cramped.
If you’re spending more time wrestling with workarounds than actually managing your inventory, it might be time to look at something built for where you’re headed, not where you started.
That’s where Acumatica comes in.
If you’re tracking inventory for a single location with a manageable product list, QuickBooks can be a reliable tool. It gives you the basics: quantities, item costs, and simple reorder points.
But if you’re starting to think:
