seeking best software package for alarm business open original image

ive played around with quickbooks and peachtree, as well as MS money and office. although i can see times when all would be beneficial, im looking for the one best suited for:



all aspects of customer tracking and billing payroll inventory company accounting printing blank invoices



what software package is overall the "best" for this? thanks,


Nathan, you might want to look at SIMS for your software. Speak to Ken Utley at SIMS 1-800-395-7467. They specialized in Alarm Software.

I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?

SIMS integrates with a lot of accounting software as well. Another gentleman from SIMS by the name of Steve Ryckman is also responsible for originating the alt.security.alarms newsgroup. You can read about that here:

We use QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions: Contractor Edition 8.0 and it does everything you mention you need. At a $3K starting price it better have it. It is good to make estimates and convert them to jobs and invoices. You'll spend some time getting used to doing it the "QuickBooks" way, but once you do it will help you to run your accounting better and faster.
