Created in 2010, OfficeBooks is used by over 2000 businesses worldwide. Although it is an inventory management system at its core, the system integrates with multiple parts of a business, including work orders, sales quotes and contact management. The inventory control feature combines with spreadsheets, so users can add their existing inventory information from the start. From there, OfficeBooks will automatically update the inventory as items are purchased. As soon as an order is created, suppliers are notified, so they can review and give their approval online. With each new work order, inventory is updated to reflect the new item count. Any inventory shortages result in an automatic notification to contact the appropriate vendor. As a cloud-based system, all data is stored online, and users can be registered and added. > > Verdict: Rated **4.3/5** by 29 users.

I have not had any issues and I am always able to find the information I need to run my business smoothly. ----- ### "Complete Solution For Manufacturing Companies" — 5.0/5 > **Miguel** | *24 June 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: OfficeBook offers a complete solution for manufacturers of products. They offer 3 distinct account types, based on your needs. There is a Purchasing subscription which focuses on purchase orders. There is the Distributor subscription, which offers the same features of the Purchasing subscription, but more focused on Sales \& Quotes. And then there is the Full Suite, which combines both the Purchasing and the Distributor features, plus extras like Work Orders, Work Centers, Workflows, Bill of Materials and more. OfficeBooks is truly a complete package in that it provides CRM features, where you can manage and track your contacts. You can tag each contact in the list as a customer, a supplier, or even a staff member, as well as "other" classification that does not meet the other 3. You can even view the history of each contact, from events to sales and purchases. Need additional ways of identifying your contacts? Use tags. Keeping track of your products is easy. OfficeBooks has a very extensive list of variables for each of your inventory items. For every item you manage, OfficeBooks tracks details under various categories: inventory, bill of materials and revision control, purchasing, sales, shipping and export, other details and complete history. Manage inventory totals, minimum stock quantities, locations (for facilities with more than one manufacturing or storage location), and quantities across various levels (sold, on hand, using, making, on order, net stock and on shelf). Truly a complete means of tracking all your manufatured goods. OfficeBooks offers comprehensive view of your Sales, Purchases, Work Orders, and Finances. And it even allows you to collect payments online. Impressive, too, is the number of reporting categories and reports within each. It provides a comprehensive view of your business from every angle. > > **Cons**: Not exactly a con, except for the newer generation of users who like beautiful UI's. The site is solid, the features are expansive, and the look is, well, very simple. it is not cumbersome, then, again, there is lots of information to maintain and trying to break it up into smaller more "pretty" screens is not feasible. This is one serious application that offers lots of information. And the fact that so much is running online with no noticeable lag for all the content it holds, it is quite impressive. So, that UI is not the prettiest, but it surely is functional. And I only post it as a "potential" con as more and more users want beautiful looking pages from online applications. In this case, pretty is not always the best solution. Functionality always wins... hands down. > > OfficeBooks is seriously powerful and might not necessarily work out for small DIY manufacturing. But, then again, it might. This is not your run of the mill application. It can seriously manage high yield manufacturing. IT does offer a free account that handles 25 records. This is enough to take it for a spin to see if it works for your environment. I am in the process of testing it out thoroughly for small scale manufacturing for a client, as well as a potential endeavor of mine for the manufacturing of only a handful of products. Time will tell if it works out. Based on all the research I have conducted and my soft run of the application, I have nothing but positive reviews at this time. With the application still in its first major revision, I can only imagine this becoming much more vast and powerful. ----- ### "office books review" — 3.5/5 > **Amy** | *23 December 2014* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's somewhat easy to learn and use. My company provides it to us and it is what we use for work. We are able to share documents so that's what I use. > > **Cons**: Not as many features as competitors. Not as user friendly, and although I am very computer savvy, many other coworkers struggle and constantly need help with certain features. ----- ### "Easy to Use" — 5.0/5 > **Bethany** | *10 December 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is great. It is easy to use and allowed me to better manage day to day operations. I would definitely recommend this for small companies. > > **Cons**: There were a few glitchy things when we first started using this software. It wasn't as intuitive as I had hoped it would be. > > OfficeBooks has helped us manage orders with a greater efficiency. ----- ### "Efficent" — 5.0/5 > **Nina** | *9 October 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that our finances can be all in one place and not different softwares or programs. > > **Cons**: The cost of the software is pricey if your a small business owner. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/28097/officebooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/28097/officebooks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
