Vans Trucks Desk Jobs

Industry Size When should you position which of these three fine Intuit applications? The answer is simple. It is all in what they drive: Intuit Field Service Management is for folks in VANS (Multiple work orders in one day) WorkTrack TimeCard for Intuit Payroll is for folks in PICK-UP TRUCKS (One job for multiple days) Intuit Time Tracker is for DESK JOCKEYS, aka butts in office chairs

Add-ons Q&A

Reports How the software can be used to maximize the use of reports, and how the use of experts in the software can be of benefit

Client: Ambulance Sales Company

Challenges An unorganized chart of accounts Unable to easily track individual ambulance sales and service No way to track the profitability of each sale Needed the ability to track inventory to ensure key items were on hand at all times

Actions The Chart of accounts was numbered and subsets added Customers are now set up with Jobs attached to them. Each Job represents an ambulance sale and the subsequent service work provided “Classes” are now used to track New Ambulance Sales, Service Work, Warranty Work and Operations Inventory Items have been set up in the system and purchase orders are now created when orders are placed to ensure all costs associated with each job are accounted for

Client: Sewer Disposal Utility Provider Topic: Convert a Client to Quickbooks Situation A provider of utility disposal sewer lines in a Suburban area of upstate ny Over 2,000 customers who are billed for quarterly service Lacking a sound financial reporting process for management to track revenue & expenses

Challenges Help the company move from an antiquated DOS based software to Quickbooks Organizing all 2,000 customers in QB for ease of tracking and reporting Ensuring that customer history reports were accurate and kept up with ever changing owners of properties

Actions Identified property owners as the job related to the customers which were the physical address Provided the ability to change property owners (jobs) of the properties (customers) as the properties we sold to new owners Helped the client prepare accurate customer reports based on actual customers serviced Gave customer better tracking of accounts receivable which led to a more expeditious process for account collection
