E lectric communication of pricing, purchase orders and vendor invoices has been available for over twenty years. BUT, it has only been available for flooring dealers who have had the money, time, and employees to be able to purchase and implement one of the industry-specific full-blown accounting packages. That has now changed. The legions of dealers who use QuickBooks have been told time and time again by the manufacturers, by the distributors, by their CPA’s that there was no way for them to participate. This has all changed with the introduction of Purchasing Ally. A simple intuitive web application that lets you work from any device with a browser. No complicated screens. Quick AI based searches for products so you can quickly build an order or quote with the latest pricing from your vendor and easy setting of the profit mark-up or margin you want on the job. The system automatically rounds up on carton or box products, so you don’t lose money buying more material than you expected. Once the customer confirms, a simple push of the button sends your order to QuickBooks, and your purchase orders to your vendors. This includes all the vendors you have signed up with through Purchasing Ally, as it automatically knows whether to send an electronic PO, an email, or even a fax! The electronic PO gets a confirmation back electronically. The email lets the vendors, through a patent pending unique process, update PA with their confirmation. Even Fax? Unfortunately, the old- fashioned return fax remains the same. You’re ready to go to your next sales appointment and the time spent updating QuickBooks is done. When the vendor sends you their invoice electronically, Purchasing Ally receives it and automatically sends it to QuickBooks. If you have an emailed PDF, you will have a unique email address with Purchasing Ally, that will accept it, scan it, and send it to QuickBooks. No more lost invoices! Pay your bills on time without losing time entering the invoices. Smart phone compatible Third party cybersecurity audit A REVOLUTION for QUICKBOOKS USERS
