What Accounting/Inventory software do you use?

We've used it for about 10 years; tracks our jobs, fully integrated.
We don't track our inventory, though, but I'm sure you can.

Software
I use Alpha Five Version 5 database. This is a windows database program and you have to build you application from scratch. It sounds like a lot of work but it is really very easy to do. In the time it takes you to learn someone else's software you can build your own.

wintac pro
I've used the live demo for wintac pro and I've been debating about switching from quickbooks. Wintac is really plumbing/heating friendly. It allows you to add a database of parts from a pricing service. It also allows you to create proposals, work orders and invoices from the same form which I find very impressive. It seems very user friendly and the pro version is all in one accounting software - including financial reporting, etc.
Quickbooks is great but i say that because it's like second nature to me now. I've tweaked it to work similar to Wintac but its not as seamless at this point.

Wintac
I looked over wintac and it looks really good. We are using quickbooks now. Was it difficult getting the quickbooks data into wintac???? I would like to get the demo disk but they want $100 for the demo. Being the cheapskate that I am, I am leary. Plus it doesn't look like you can import Quickbooks data in the demo.

quickbooks
I'm not a heatng guy, but I have been using quickbooks since it came out[~12 years]
It is the most bullet proof program I have ever used. I now have the full mac daddy version, not available in stores[qb enterprise solutions] and it is a bit of a memory hog.
I run an entire business out of this software, I don't track inventory but it could. Pricing levels, quotes, purchase orders, notes for customers and vendors........
Your entire business will fit in it, I mean everything.
The most powerful thing about it is the reports. If you set things up in items and accounts you care about, say copper pipe, pvc, pex whatever, you can pull up a graph that tells you how much you spent on it and how much you made on it. It will surprise you wht you spend money on and what you don't.
Thing is it works, I haven't called tech support in years. More than 5 anyway.
OK sermon over

I started with Intac
years ago , which was the Dos based version of the program. I changed over to the netwrok version of Wintac and am very happy.
My office staff uses Quickbooks for the finacial because the accountant likes the reports. Now I would like to download everything from Wintac to Quickbooks every week. My office manager just came back from a Quickbooks seminar and wants to change verything to Quickbooks. I like the way Wintac hold a customer file, allows photos on the file, Turns a work order in a invoice and holds all the parts I have installed over the last ten years.
I DO like the reports that Quickbooks gives out.
But, wintac is very easy and is geared towards our business.
