Smart Businesses Run on QuickBooks

Smart Businesses Run on QuickBooks

 

If you run a business, maintaining your records and keeping all your financial information in order is essential. If you run a small business, QuickBooks is made especially for you and for businesses like yours to thrive and grow without having to worry about your software keeping up with you at every turn.

QuickBooks was created with businesses like yours in mind. Because of this, it is tailormade for small businesses to manage vendor accounts, accounts receivable, payroll, taxes, accounts payable, check writing, and so much more. These aspects of your business can eat up countless billable hours from either you, your staff or an outside party, without the help of an in-house accounting software. 

Thanks to the flexibility and the completely customizable nature of QuickBooks software, you can always be certain that the software you are using is exactly the right one for you and for your business. Because that information is so essential to running your business, you can rest assured that your information is kept secure with QuickBooks�s automatic backup feature, which allows you to schedule backups of your data, so nothing is ever lost.

QuickBooks Can Support You No Matter What

Intuit, the publisher for QuickBooks, recently made the bold statement that they were pushing to get their active subscriber count to ten million in the coming months. This means that that all their focus and resources are going into being able to support those ten million active users.

With a company that is gearing up for dedicated support on that scale, you can be certain that, no matter what issues arise in your business, you will always have exactly what you need from Intuit to manage your business and your software, no matter what.

Using QuickBooks Encourages Forward Thinking

When you bring a software into your company that is not proprietary, it encourages you as a business owner or as someone in business management, to reach out for solutions outside of what you may already have.

This opens the door for using other software and technologies that can boost your productivity, sales and overall success. Currently, technology is a nearly bottomless wellspring and with all this technology comes the potential for solutions that can kick your sales into overdrive, as well as technologies that just aren�t workable for you.

As a business owner, finding the solution which would work best for you and for your business can be intimidating. Bringing in a software that is so trusted by millions of users and which is recommended as the gold standard for business management, is a great place to start.

Verified Success

The Village Cheese House, a locally-owned delicatessen in Palo Alto California, was established in 1959. In 2007, it was purchased by two business partners who immediately brought the business into this century by getting everything into QuickBooks.

The business ran efficiently, sales went way up, and the small deli thrived for the next five years. In 2012, the deli had been so successful, one of the new owners was able to buy her partner out of their half of the business.

The Village Cheese House will be celebrating 60 years in 2019 with thriving business and unbridled success, thanks to the seamless business management experience that QuickBooks provides for small business owners and retailers globally.

Moving Colorado Sheriffs to the Cloud

Moving Colorado Sheriffs to the Cloud

What is CSOC?

County Sheriffs of Colorado is an association of County Sheriffs that works toward continuing education and professional training of sheriffs, deputies, and other law enforcement agencies. The main aim of the more than 120 lectures and training programs CSOC offers, is to educate the law enforcement personnel as to how they can better serve their community.

The programs also give a platform for and advocates unity among sheriffs in differing counties so they can better understand one another�s problems and work toward progressive solutions. CSOC is the perfect platform for law enforcement officers across the State of Colorado to allow them to achieve professional excellence and to serve the people in the best ways possible.

What Challenges CSOC Faced

The nature of CSOC�s business requires that they keep extensive records on membership, course attendance, dues, and more for the law enforcement officers who participate with them. With the system they had at their disposal prior to their connection with DUBTEL, was not conducive to updating those records in such a way that they were secure, complete and correct.

The technology used to create the system which they used was severely outdated and hindered them from making forward strides and growing without exceeding the capabilities of their current administration tools.

In order for an outfit of CSOC�s type and size to succeed, they would need an entirely new system with the ability to update records of all types across the entire system in real time.

How DUBTEL Was Contacted

DUBTEL maintains working partnerships with many companies across the United States and continues to grow and help its partners grow through that network of partnerships. One of DUBTEL�s partners�machineLOGIC�shared a business relationship with CSOC. When technicians at machineLOGIC saw and heard all the problems in the existing system for CSOC, machineLOGIC called DUBTEL and set up a meeting to get their needs addressed.

Once DUBTEL was put in contact with CSOC to help them to overhaul their system and optimize their operations, the real work began for this law enforcement training outfit.

What DUBTEL Did for CSOC

One of the main things that is crucial to the operation of CSOC is to make sure that the records of all these conferences, meetings and training sessions is kept safe and is updated regularly. They also must keep a track of all the people that have attended these training sessions, or any other program hosted by CSOC. In order to make a more workable system that provided a higher quality of user experience to associates and members, CSOC needed the ability to update and edit their records in real time. By doing this all the operations would be streamlined, significantly increasing the efficiency of the organization. But how do you make that happen? The obvious answer to that given by DUBTEL was to move these records, files and system to cloud.

Among all the benefits that you get from a cloud-based system the one that was most significant to a client like CSOC is the security that comes with it. Files uploaded on a cloud-based system are much more secure than other file storage means. The companies hosting cloud servers can afford to have far better security systems as compared to any local system. By uploading the files on cloud server CSOC safeguarded them from any hacking attempt from cybercriminals. The next major advantage that this update gave to CSOC is the ability of cloud data to be updated in real time across all terminals. The best part is that the data can be updated remotely. As CSOC works across the State of Colorado this feature allowed them to easily update the data from where ever the law enforcement training is being held. The data uploaded from any location across any terminal would be automatically updated in the central database.

The New & Improved CSOC System

The CSOC team now does not have to spend hours of their time only on data entry as the process has become very easy and streamlined. The time that they save from data entry can be spent on more involved operations to help the organization grow and to continue to assist law enforcement officers across the State of Colorado.

They can now invest this time in improving the quality of their services and coursework and grow their association in order to reach more people. This integration has allowed them to thrive on a financial level as well, now that they are able to keep records of and invoice fees, dues, and payments effortlessly.

Another benefit that CSOC got from this integration is that their website is now fully updated according to the data available on the cloud server, in real time. This makes sure that all the members of this organization are now always fully updated regarding important statistics of the organization or any other changes or announcements that are important to them and their members.

New features were implemented in their system such as the Waitlist Feature, which allows law enforcement officers to be sure they never miss a single class with CSOC. The Revised Certification Management allows law enforcement officers to access their training certifications at any time, from any location. These features work in tandem with the Real-Time Reporting system enhancement to ensure that everyone is operating on the most current, up-to-date information and no one skips a beat.
