So rather than find a job at a local factory, I'm teaming up with a master electrician and we are going into business together. I'm going to get my master's license out of the deal too, so I have no problem doing my time while I work on an EE degree.
He wants me to handle the "management" side of the business, which will include invoicing, shaking trees to see what controls work falls out, inventory management and the technology side of the business. Of course, I go help with bigger jobs (mostly building panels and terminating), gathering materials, etc.
We are going from nothing other than a steady supply of work and it is my challenge to streamline this process so we can spend less time on that side of the business and more time generating income. We are currently using quick books online, but the inventory feature is not very good.
What software do you guys use to manage inventory for consumables such as receptacles, fittings, pipe, wire, etc that are commonly needed on service calls / jobs across multiple vehicles and storage locations? I was hoping to find a quick books addon for that, but we may have to purchase additional software.
