QuickBooks POS Integrates with Active Club Management's Wine Club Solution

Livermore, CA July 14, 2008 - Intuit's QuickBooks Point-of-Sale (POS) is one of the most popular solutions being used in the wine industry and Active Club Management is pleased to announce the integration of the Active Club Management club solution with QuickBooks POS.

As the competition for sales and the challenges in the economy increase businesses are looking to make the most of the solutions they have in place. We are seeing an increase and interest in building loyal, revenue generating communities through club programs said Theresa Dorr, Active Club Management. Providing a solution which leverages the POS and accounting systems that are already in place just makes good business sense. Together this provides one of, if not the strongest combination of services on the market.

People have confidence in the QuickBooks family of solutions and want to keep what they trust. This combination of services allows wineries and other businesses with direct to consumer sales and auto-ship programs to keep their existing QuickBooks solutions and super-charge their sales.

The two companies continue to drive the cost of technology down while increasing features, benefits and level of support. Active Club Management came to the market by offering a service that was and continues to be unique from other direct to consumer solutions. We see club programs as less of a "batch process" and more of building a loyal community. We strive to help our clients build communities of people who join the club, participate in events, make additional purchases and really support and enjoy the people with whom they are doing business said Dorr. Our goal is to have lasting relationships with our clients as we prove this with our pricing structure with the complete Active Club Management start-up costs of $ 500.00. Transaction fees do apply and cover security, upgrades, support, training, website access for club management and more.

The Active Club Management interface allows a Direct Sales model (Active Club Management) and a Walk-In Store model (QuickBooks POS) to merge through QuickBooks POS inventory. QuickBooks POS merges back with QuickBooks Accounting. This allows the tax reporting to be done in any of 3 systems. The integration also enables wineries to overcome the POS limitations of not being able to deal with 10's and now even 1000's of tax categories and codes.

QuickBooks POS allows sales to be rung up quickly, provides inventory tracking, personalized customer service, customer tracking, allows quick and easy access to reports and handles gift and loyalty cards - all you have to do is ring up the sales.

Active Club Management integrates with many points within the POS and the new integration can be highly customized to each business's unique needs.
