Announcing Founder Barney Stone’s New Advance Order Screen

Automation, eCommerce, Monsoon Stone Edge Order Manager Add-Ons, QuickBooks
As most of you are aware, I've known Barney Stone since StoneEdge hit the market.  I've been supporting StoneEdge users since the very first Yahoo store owner wanted to integrate QuickBooks with StoneEdge way back in the late 90’s (Wow – how time flies :-) ).  With the recent migration from the 5.9 series to the new 7 series of SEOM many of you have been frustrated with the new user interface; and in particular the order screen; so Barney developed a new view!  You know it will work; who better than Barney to develop it!

The Joy of Multiple Monitors

eCommerce, QuickBooks
[caption id="attachment_1774" align="alignleft" width="201"] My office manager Annette's workstation setup. Feel free to share your experiences and/or photos![/caption]     OK, I’ll admit it … I’m hooked!  I tried dual monitors about 12 years ago and I’ve never looked back.  As a matter of fact, I often wonder how I managed without multiple monitors for so many years!  When I train others via remote access and I am relegated to one monitor, it can drive me almost batty. :? This has to be my best tip for increasing productivity … it’s a small investment that will save you hours every week. (more…)

Why I Recommend SuperManager

When I started working with Yahoo! Store owners there really wasn't a good way to import orders into QuickBooks®. While it was possible to manually export and import orders from Yahoo! into QuickBooks®, it came with many problems, such as phantom accounts, incorrect sales tax, payments and invoices were not linked, and a few other issues as well.
