I just saw carpet cleaning business software on e-bay.Invoicing, customer data base etc. Only 15.- plus shipping.Seems to be totally worth it.
Before I buy it.What do you guys use?
899.- sure is ChaChing for Steve Smith.Principal focus is even more.I can't see spending that much on software.I was more thinking about simple invoicing contact management.I think I'll go with the 15.- software on e-bay.
Mistral 2000, been working great for me. It does the invoicing/income side, not the expense side. Simple, easy to use and learn, very customizable. Been using it since Summer of 2000. And its reasonably priced!
Excellent support to, even after all these years.
They are also working on getting a pda version, still in beta testing.
if your just gonna do invoicing, get quickbooks plus customer manager. i have used steve smith's products before, and they are worth it. They are industry specific.
There's something about spending almost a grand for a piece of software and then having to pay more $$ for product support that rubs me the wrong way. The IRS gives me that same feeling.
Pencils, pens, filing cabinets, imagination, good memory, and a lotta hopes and wishes... That's all I'm using now. When the owners get me my comp. I am going with quickbooks though, because everybody got a friend that can teach ya somethin' about it. This message board is almost too high tech for me...
I am using Quickbooks Premier (installed full accountant version) and Maximizer for contact management- it can link directly into Quickbooks for an additional $99.00- waiting on that now- c'mon mailman.
We use camelot and love it. We had a networking problem and their customer support was awesome. I have heard that they had bad support but it was good to me.
Mike, why don't you call them? What info are you losing?
I wouldn't want my client information on an internet program because of security issues. I have 2 computers at the shop and have another back up at home. We back up everyday.
