Does moving ever go as expected? You think you’ve got so much time to prepare for the actual move day and next thing you know you’re two days away. In the midst of coordinating and preparing for our office relocation, we have been blessed with a continued growth in business and have been able to assist many business owners and their staff whether or not they are currently using the QuickBooks Point of Sale system.

Will has been on the road for almost two full weeks meeting with existing and potential clients throughout a portion of Southern California. Road warrior! This week alone he installed the QuickBooks Point of Sale (QBPOS) system at the LA Dodgers baseball stadium office in Los Angeles, CA and trained the guys to use the system for their particular business needs. Inventory control is a huge point for them since they are constantly managing the player’s equipment.

That same day Will met with a potential client who is going to purchase QBPOS but hopes to use it on their existing computers. In this case, it was important for Will to do a site survey of their equipment to verify whether or not it is compatible for the QBPOS V2013. *See the list of minimum requirements below.

Will provided QBPOS training to the manager of a shoe boutique and one of their employee’s on inventory management within QBPOS and how to create and print bar code labels using the Zebra LP2824 Thermal Desktop Tag Printer.

We have met and spoken with business owners who are interested in implementing the QBPOS system at their business. Several of them have an online store. It has been a variety of businesses such as smoke shops, a tire and wheel company, a medical and surgical supply company, an online company that sells health and nutritional items, and a high quality herbs and spices company that has two store locations and an online store. This is just to name a few. The downtown San Diego Library recently moved into and opened their newly constructed building. Will set-up and installed their QBPOS system and now they want an additional POS workstation to accommodate their needs.
