Software Design Associates is a member of The Intuit Software Developers Network. This relationship enables us to work directly with the world’s largest producer of accounting software. We interface on serveral different levels with various Quickbooks products.

We offer a very basic with interface with Quickbooks Pro built into every new CFS or VFT system. However, Quickbooks Pro is a scaled down product with many fewer features and other more ful featured accounting programs. Because of the limitations in Quickbooks Pro, the only communication it can handle from CFS / VFT is the simple transfer of an invoice. There is no inventory or pricing interaction between our program and QB Pro. There is no charge for this interface.

For a much more robust integration, CFS / VFT communicates extensivly with Quickbooks Premier and Enterprise editions. It can create QB purchase orders, estimates, sales orders, or invoices. CFS can import costing from these versions of Quickbooks. We charge for this integration. [ Quickbooks order form ]

The Quickbooks Premier edition will support up to 5 simultaneous users while the Enterprise edition with support up to 20 simultaneous users. You must also purchase a QODBC lincense for each computer to be integrated. The cost for this license from us is $100 per seat.

No matter what accounting system you use, if you want a fully integrated system for your fence business we can provide it..
