QuickBooks is not an ERP in fundamentals. It is a speedy and efficient way to manage accounting transactions and specific features such as sales and expenses besides the prominent financial elements. Furthermore, QuickBooks is not the most flexible system on the market. There are several versions available, which means that you will have to comply with a specific user profile and, at the same time, purchase a version that won’t expand the way business is growing. You will have to buy a new version every time there is an update or if you want to develop. QuickBooks may allow you to meet your needs if you’re in a hurry. But long-time success is best achieved through the use of an ERP. In other words, QuickBooks may emulate an ERP accounting software, but will still leave you unsatisfied in terms of usability and access.
