There is a new piece of software called Qvinci  that pulls data from QuickBooks and creates graphs that is attracting some attention lately. The Sleeter Group gave it their Awesome QuickBooks Ad-ons for 2010 award for smooth interaction with QuickBooks data and ease of use. Qvinci is inexpensive dashboard that pulls numbers from QuickBooks and displays it in an easy to see graphs. You can customize it to show four graphs that are important for the owner to see at a glance. You can also use Excel to pull data from and create graphs. I spoke with the owner and he was fast to respond and assist with technical support. So was his staff.  The software pulls data from reports that already exist in QuickBooks, but it lacked in pulling raw data from different areas and trying to pull them into a custom report automatically. You also could not add a formula to an existing graph to create a custom result. This had to be done in Excel. The makers did say that they were making plans add those functions next year. All in all it is a nice piece of software for a reasonable price.
