Wine Club Software Continues to Pioneer Integration with QuickBooks

Livermore, CA May 6, 2009 - Over 50% of wineries today use Intuit's QuickBooks for their accounting and/or their cash register solution (Point-of-Sale aka POS). Even though software solution providers try to put the fear, uncertainty and doubt in the mind of winery management QuickBooks is recognized as affordable, powerful, efficient and trusted by a majority of wineries today.

Yes, the wine industry has unique functions and features that are not all supported with QuickBooks alone however those limitations have easily been overcome with the Active Club Management integration.

Pioneers in creating wine club and auto-ship solutions, Active Club Management is the first and only solution today that provides a complete integration with existing QuickBooks software. Wineries can now super-charge their QuickBooks POS and QuickBooks Accounting systems with a seamless integration, shipping and club solution. Active Club Management passes information from and to QuickBooks POS for inventory, accounting, discounts, memberships, destination sales tax rates and look-up, origination sales tax rates, compliance, and more.

If you are using QuickBooks POS and shipping reports for PRE-SALE compliance checks is not possible. That limitation can be overcome with by using Active Club Management for all your shipments. Prior to a sale being completed you can know if the sale is compliant or if it is not. We integrate with ShipCompliant which provides compliance checks. There is nothing to remember as the check happens automatically. There are no extra steps in your sales process that requires you to push a button, imports or export sales information. A majority of wineries today have their own compliance solution and Active Club Management also works with those.

Why pay more and get less? Wineries are looking to make the most of the solutions they have in place. Other systems costing thousands of dollars, imposing monthly recurring fees, annual upgrade fees not to mention the fees for support calls and training wineries have been looking for a solution that integrates FULLY with QuickBooks POS and QuickBooks Accounting. Those options are simply not viable solutions in this economy.

Other technology companies may say they integrate and we say "SHOW ME". Other companies mention QuickBooks integration and some even charge $ 150.00 per month for the integration. The integrations are generally limited to bulk transfer of summary information and this fails to provide the detail that is necessary for reporting.

More than a batch process, Active Club Management is the FIRST and Only company to see club programs as 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. 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.

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.
