Unlike the traditional ERP sales model, we give you the tools to evaluate the software on your own in exchange for a dramatically lower product price.
At DBA we've been delivering ERP software alternatives to thousands of small manufacturing businesses since 1992.
We Recommend Upgrading to the DBA Financial Modules
If you are coming from a low-end accounting system such as QuickBooks ® or Peachtree ®, we recommend upgrading to the DBA financial modules so that you can operate within a single, integrated system and take full advantage our manufacturing accounting capabilities.
Not only is a single, integrated system easier to manage, but a QuickBooks or Peachtree chart of accounts cannot function effectively in a manufacturing environment where so much of your activity revolves around work in process. By contrast, the DBA standard chart of accounts is optimized out of the box for a manufacturing company and is structured to handle work in process and absorption costing of direct labor and factory overhead.
Continue Using Your Payroll Module
If you convert from QuickBooks or Peachtree to the DBA financial modules, the one function you can continue using in the old system is payroll. DBA functions independently from payroll and includes a Payroll Import utility, which enables you to use any payroll software or service you wish. So if you are satisfied with your QuickBooks or Peachtree payroll module, continue using it. The only change you need to make to your payroll system is to adjust your account assignments so they are compatible with DBA's standard chart of accounts. Payroll account assignment setup is detailed in chapter 13C of the Operating Guide.
Financial Transfer Option
If you are not coming from a low-end accounting system, there are situations where using the DBA financial modules is not possible, such as when a company or branch office is connected to a corporate ERP system, but wishes to use DBA as its manufacturing solution. To address this need, we offer a Financial Transfer option that enables financial applications to be handled by an outside system.
