CARLSBAD, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2005 -- FLEXquarters.com LLC the provider of data sharing solutions for Intuits QuickBooks line of accounting programs, today announced the official release of QDashboard for Yahoo Merchant Solutions for QuickBooks Pro 2005 and previous versions through 2002. QDashboard eliminates the need for any manual entry of e-commerce receipts from the Yahoo shopping cart into QuickBooks.

FLEXquarters realized the need to save time and eliminate manual entry into QuickBooks from its own everyday e-commerce sales accounting, embarked on a project to streamline this double entry. The idea was to build a friendly user interface and to eliminate the need for any type of programming knowledge to use the product, yet respect all security, integrity and business logic rules embedded in the QuickBooks application. Utilizing Intuits application interface (SDK) for 100% data validation on all transactions and its own QODBC product developed as a universal "plug-in" for applications to access the QuickBooks database, they were able to almost completely automate the process.

Now Yahoo Merchant Solutions users can directly import Sales Receipts from the shopping cart system into QuickBooks using the QDashboard template for Yahoo. QDashboard automates the transfer of data into QuickBooks with very little user intervention and with no programming required. The system can import orders in either text or XML format which have been saved to a folder on your hard disk, you can drag them into the program, or the program can be setup to check your e-mail box for the orders on demand or on a scheduled basis. In very little time you are eliminating manual data entry, eliminating possible entry errors and saving time and money.

The predefined templates contained in QDashboard have been built to support one or more sales items, capture credit card information if sent, import receipts as Invoices or Sales Receipts and add customer records if needed. Additionally, QDashboard works with other "shopping cart" services such as Americart, Authorize.Net, PayPal, and SWREG with additional templates supporting other shopping carts to be released shortly.

Account executive Linda Shember of software firm Cogitate says "SWREG handles all of our e-commerce sales and for years we had to copy and paste the information sent in the SWREG email into QuickBooks. Since implementing QDashboard in the office, we no longer do any manual data entry for these orders. QDashboard has been configured to check our email server and retrieve any email from SWREG, creating a customer record (if needed) and a sales receipt for every SWREG order. Its like having your own personal assistant who works 24/7, doesnt take coffee breaks or ask for vacation time, enters data flawlessly and also works for free, what more could you ask for!"

QDashboard is priced at $99, and is immediately available to work with the Americart, Authorize.Net, PayPal, Yahoo Merchant Solutions and SWREG shopping cart systems. A full 30 day demo can be downloaded from their web site. Support is provided through our searchable support database and ticket system at no additional charge.
