InterWeave enters the 2010 Awesome QuickBooks Add-ons

At The Sleeter Group, we continually study the marketplace of QuickBooks add-ons and services that enhance QuickBooks. I’m quite impressed with the depth and breadth of solutions in the market, including solutions for everything from automotive dealership management solutions to construction, to property management, to document management, manufacturing, to wholesale and distribution. It’s truly amazing to see how the “ecosystem” of solutions has grown and thrived over the years.

For several years now, we’ve spotlighted several special products we call “awesome add-ons.”

We survey products in several vertical markets where QuickBooks may not have all the needed features, or where clients want customized solutions. Most of the winners are software, but several are hardware and software combinations.

In order to qualify for our list, the product and/or service must be developed and sold by a solid company with a reputation for outstanding customer support, and the product must have the following attributes:

* Show superior design, implementation and features.
* Integrate with QuickBooks using best practices of the QuickBooks SDK programming guidelines;
* Use appropriate transaction types and field population for recording data into QuickBooks so as to preserve and/or enhance the standard reporting features in QuickBooks; and
