Custom software
When a purpose-built app is a better answer than stretching QuickBooks, Made2Manage, or another package that was never written for how you sell.
- A purpose-built books app: when QuickBooks or Made2Manage is the wrong tool
Packaged accounting systems such as QuickBooks and Made2Manage fail when cash-basis posting, multiple legal entities, distributor billing, and a customer portal must coexist without a body of workarounds. A purpose-built application can hold those requirements in one design. That class of system is warranted when the package has become the work rather than the books.
