    AS400... Very common, and it's been around forever...

    But if your inventory is small, and slow, an Excel spreadsheet works fine..

    I concur.......SAP is also an option if you plan to grow

    I need something that works best with moving inventory. by that I mean products that move weekly or biweekly at the most. I was considering excell spreadsheet but it seems a little complicated for my applicaton. it is also large quantities,not small. would that influence the decision any way from those two programs mentioned?

    Excel is the way to go. If it sounds too complicated.... maybe a legal pad and a #2 pencil... j/k HAHA....

    Or hire someone with Inventory Control experience to audit your inventory weekly or biweekly...

    we still use Excel, but Quickbooks is probably our next step.

    there are a ton of different solutions...what price range are you wanting to spend? and what is the product worth to you? those are two big questions you need to answer first before considering a POS style system. hit me up i can help you out if need be.

    My wifes started to use quickbooks for her inventory...but it was WAY too complicated. Every item is different and changing. She is an interior designer, and we had to put in a different number for EVERY item.

    If you have only a handful of items to inventory, then quickbooks might be worth looking into.

    I didn't realize it was going to be this hard to find a program that fits.
