I am  looking for software for our beginning business. We currently do sewing and embroidery, heat transfer, and vinyl application. I would like to track our sales to determine which products are selling the best so I know where to invest our money later. I would also like to track our orders to know what needs to be filled and who has paid and who not. I would prefer one software for both applications. If there is a free trial version would be great. At this time I don't feel like I need the extra bells and whistles that most programs offer. ie; tax stuff, profit loss margins or graphs. I just want something simple with a quick learning curve.

I have read that some use quickbooks for the invoice process. I use quicken deluxe but would need to upgrade to home and business ,$60, to utilize it. My fear is that it will not be detailed enough. I have not found any good tutorials yet. I know there are many free excel downloads but I do not currently have office on my computer. While it would be helpful it's $100 a year.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I use invoice2go.  There is an annual fee (maybe 60 bucks or so) but I love it.  It is cloud based so I can do everything across all my devices.  Computer, laptop, phone and tablet.  Invoice on the fly, track sales, do estimates etc.  All customizable too!

really like Express Invoice. I've been using it for the last 3 yrs. and works great for me. I can figure a QU OTE, then convert that to an invoice once customer accepts. Takes a little time to set up the pricing (items list) but I LOVE IT and they want around 70.00 ordered on line but I bought same program at OFFICE Max for about 19-$20.00.

Were you able to find a solution for invoicing and inventory?
