Top 10 Signs You've Outgrown QuickBooks

Blog > Top 10 Signs You've Outgrown QuickBooks

Many small businesses experience common pains when their company starts to grow and their accounting software can't keep up. A basic application like QuickBooks provides small businesses with basic accounting functions needed to get started, but quickly loses its luster.

If using spreadsheets as workarounds is causing you to waste time and make expensive mistakes, it might be time to consider moving to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.

Almost 80% of our current customers that experienced meaningful growth - whether by adding more warehouses or extending their product lines - made the strategic decision to migrate from QuickBooks to SAP Business One.

Here are 10 signs that you need an ERP solution to keep your operations running smoothly:

	#1. You have a billion spreadsheets open on your desktop
	#2. Closing the month is taking too much time and effort
	#3. Information sits and stays in departmental silos
	#4. There's no easy way to predict financial outcomes for your shareholders
	#5. Very few people actually understand your database and transaction processes
	#6. You've started taking screenshots of reports so they print correctly
	#7. Delayed orders are stressing you out
	#8. Turning your software on involves holding your breath and hoping it works
	#9. You have mandated employee breaks so the system doesn't get overloaded
	#10. Custom workarounds are a regular occurrence
