[03/12/2008]  SAFE Fire Detection Inc implemented All Orders by NumberCrunchre early this year and we have found the software to work extremely well. Installation of the software on both the server and work stations was quick and easy. Any problems we encountered during installation were resolved by their tech support department in a timely manner. All of our employees have found the software easy to use and have reduced their daily work load. The time I personally spend managing our inventory has been reduced in half. Any request I have made for improvement to the software has been noted by NumberCruncher staff and they plan to add our suggestions to future versions. I highly recommend All Orders by NumberCruncher for anyone looking to add complete inventory software for a reasonable price to work with QuickBooks.

[03/15/2007]  If you are a small to medium sized Canadian (or US) manufacturer you probably already know just how hard it is to find a decent accounting package that can manage raw materials for production, completed inventory, production work orders, and customer order fulfillment. Fact is the pickins' are mighty thin - especially if you are located in Canada. Two years ago we decided to go with a product as at the time it appeared to be about the best solution available - a decision we regretted from nearly day one. It was only after two years of beating our heads against the wall in trying to get this product to work for our business that we finally decided that we had to find something else.

At first we were not very encouraged with what we found. QuickBooks was clearly the best option for pure accounting, but when it came to inventory management, manufacturing and order fulfillment - it fell far short of our requirements. Fortunately we discovered NumberCruncher by AllOrders. Now the names of the product and company may not be as sexy as other products, but when it comes to functionality, flexibility and just plain old fashioned customer service provided by the company - it has other solutions beat hands down.

The software has a few rough edges (version 4.0.27), but the planning and thought that has gone into the design of the software is top notch. Clearly these folks understand the issues faced by small manufacturers.

Installation and setup is very straight forward with QuickBooks synchronization smooth and simple. Demarcation between the processes you perform in NumberCruncher and what you do in QuickBooks is logical and seamless. Its multi-user capability has worked well for us with 4 users making heavy demands on the software with no problems. The software understands and properly implements Canadian GST and PST. The learning curve is moderately steep, but if you have any experience at all with manufacturing/warehousing you will not have too much difficulty. You should plan two to four weeks to get everything working smoothly.

The batch processing features for PO, work order and shipping work exceedingly well, and have shaved off hours of work for us every day. The built in report writer is a wee bit technical, but offers a great deal of flexibility in designing your own reports and documents such as commercial invoices, packing slips and so on. Inventory management is top notch with a rich set of tools and features you would only expect to find in higher end software. Features like processes that let you automatically generate purchase orders based on min/max levels for each item, batch work order generation based on deficiencies or pre-set re-order points, the ability to pre-define multiple vendors for items, support for bar code scanning and so on.

There is a sophisticated price level management system that lets you set pre-defined discounts for individual or grouped items. A system that lets you manage the units that items are purchased, used and sold in. Another system to define manufacturing processes and raw material requirements for each item that you manufacture. Etc. etc. In all, a lot of value for the money.

And to top it all off is AllOrders great service. While we were getting things setup we found them to be very responsive and helpful. Emails were always answered within 24 hours - and usually the same day. Phone calls were handled by people who were knowledgeable and always helpful.

They will customize the software for your specific needs as well. In our case they wrote a custom importing routine that imported our sales and customer information from our ecommerce system via XML.

The software is not quite perfect and is missing a few key features. For example there is no global keyword search capability (we really miss that), the Sales Order page is missing some key columns (key for us anyways), there are some missing filters on the purchase and work order analysis screens. But I am sure they will be adding these features in future releases.

In all we are very satisfied NumberCruncher customer and encourage anyone who is in the market for manufacturing/inventory management add-in for QuickBooks to give it a try.
