There are plenty of QuickBooks add-ons that help your clients manage their inventory, but wouldn’t it be nice if they could optimize it, maintaining an inventory balance that maximizes economic profit?

There’s only one adjunct QuickBooks program that accomplishes such a feat. Phitch 9.0, from ePhiphony Incorporated, uses patent pending technology to determine inventory alerts, reorder points, safety stocks, and order quantities at your point of maximum economic profit, in order to optimize your company's investment in inventory.

Phitch works with QuickBooks Premiere and Enterprise, and founder John Krech is working on versions for SAP and Microsoft Dynamics. Setup and integration are easy, as is regular use; color-coded flags indicate when inventory needs attention.

$1,597 per user buys you the first year’s license, and year two costs $377 per user. A free trial is available, as is a weekly Webinar -- visit the site for details.
