There are many software add-on solutions that integrate well with QuickBooks and help small and mid-sized business owners solve problems. A popular one is QuickBooks Point of Sale or QuickBooks POS. When properly planned out, setup with a good beginning inventory and when staff are properly trained on this software system, benefits are added to the owners bottom line.

The QuickBooks POS version 9 is still available. Hold off on purchasing the POS version 10 until all the major patches have been made available.
