Hey

 

i see a few of you have been discussing software to manage your business such as cake boss and i was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions or thoughts on that software?

 

i just recently started my own cake decorating business from my home and i would like a software that handles invoicing, time and project management and client information all-in-one. 

 

 

All suggestions will be appreciated

 

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, While I like the ideas of Cake Boss I think that I'm leaning more towards QuickBooks for something that can grow with my business though, check them out.

i found one called "PayPanther" which i'm going to go with

 

it's affordable and it has everything all in one website

i can keep all my client information, calendar, time and project management so i can charge by how much time it takes me to make a cake and i can even do invoicing and my clients can pay me right on there

Have you tried out Replicon. If not I would recommend you to give it a try. With the time tracking, project management, task management, expense reporting, billing, invoicing it takes care of an overall business management. Check it out here - http://www.replicon.com/

Hi Enga

 

I've been using Sage software for some time now. It offers everything what I need for a small business. If you want more info, here is the website http://www.dmcsoftware.co.uk/SageCRM/ I think that they also offer free trials so you might just give it a go :)
