QuickBooks Integration

QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop provide a great way for scaling manufacturers to get started with basic accounting and bookkeeping operations. That said, QBO has limitations that will quickly become a nuisance for manufacturers who need to track manufacturing, lot tracking, and inventory control (especially by serial number/lot and location) with the need to facilitate recalls.

The good news is Mar-Kov’ software is specifically designed to provide detailed Inventory Control, MES (Manufacturing execution systems), and recall/traceability capabilities while linking to QuickBooks for your core accounting operations. 

Mar-Kov Batch Manufacturing Software can extend your use of QuickBooks as your organization scales by extending it in all the ways that are important to batch process manufacturers. Some of the many important solutions. Mar-Kov will layer on top of QuickBooks financials include:

Recipe/Formula Management

Track of your recipes and formulas, and make it easy to keep revision control as you make changes and improvements.

MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems)

Keep an eye on your shop floor with detailed tracking of production information. Establish traceability through production.

Inventory Control

Barcoded Serial/LPN inventory control allows complex warehouses to keep accurate inventory and never lose a container.

MRP (Materials Requirements Planning)

Integrate Mar-Kov’s MRP capabilities with QuickBooks to plan purchasing and production based on order volume.
