I own a plumbing and hvac service and repair company. I have been toying around with the idea of moving to iPads instead of pricebooks and hand written invoices. Is this something that can be accomplished? I personally have one and love being able to pull it out and have my price book and all the catalogs and brochures at my fingertips. With the iPad 2 my techs would also have a camera that they wouldnt need to carry around as well. We use Quickbooks, and would like to be able to make the invoice on the iPad then print it out for the customer. I would think importing all the invoices at the end of the day would be the easiest thing. I'm not sure if this is even possible. All this to save the step of typing everything into QB like we do now, since all our invoices are hand written. I cant be reliant on wifi or the att network to email or update QB realtime since we are in a remote area where the service is very spotty. If this inst feasible now, do any of you think that it will be in the near future? Thanks for all the help!
Thanks! There is so much you can do with these things, it's crazy. Hopefully there is a solution to my "problem" that doesnt cost a fortune (the iPads cost enough as it is!).
Yes it can be done. The quick books plug in is a little harder to do but it can be done as well. I have done similar (except QB import). Did it for a salesman's package complete with working PO program for a major consumer electronics company (JVC). It can even include a place for customer approval signature.
