Wanted to see if anyone else is using Shopkey Pro SE and Quickbooks? Basically they want me to take the parts that are suggested in Shopkey and put them in to Quickbooks. I haven't found an easy way to do this other then just type everything else out in Quickbooks. The customer gets the printout from Quickbooks with the parts listing. Anyone else out there using Shopkey Prof SE and Quickbooks at the same time??? Thanks for your help.

Integrator is available now for Manager SE. I just upgraded a few weeks ago. I have used it for many years with 5.9. It imports all payments and invoices from manager and eliminates manual entry of them. I am not sure about the inventory functions as I don't have Manager Plus with inventory. I am not sure that I understand your post in reference to using both at the same time. I use Manager because it is designed specifically for automotive repair business with many features for that type of business. Mitchell does not do accounting that's where QuickBooks is needed. Customer invoices are printed from Manager. Any questions you have I'm sure I could answer for you.

Yes, you got the picture. Is there an ongoing cost to using the integrator application? If so, how much do you pay per month? This is great as I really appreciate the info from everyone! Oh, what version of Quickbooks are you using?

I am wondering if it will work with Quickbooks online. I don't have a standalone version because I have found that its much easier to be able to use the online version. Updates done constantly and I can access from anywhere. My CPA has the login as well and helps me with the check book reconciling every month.

My guess is the integrator piece would not work with QBOnline because QBO lives in the cloud and not on the PC. But I would need to confirm that with the company who makes the integration software.

Ok, so I did talk to their tech support and Quickbooks Online is not compatible with integrator. QB has to reside on the desktop. Again, thanks to everyone who responded!

      Want to End Your Technician Shortage? Focus on Retention!
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         5 comments
      I recently spoke with a friend of mine who owns a large general repair shop in the Midwest. His father founded the business in 1975. He was telling me that although he’s busy, he’s also very frustrated. When I probed him more about his frustrations, he said that it’s hard to find qualified technicians. My friend employs four technicians and is looking to hire two more. I then asked him, “How long does a technician last working for you.” He looked puzzled and replied, “I never really thought about that, but I can tell that except for one tech, most technicians don’t last working for me longer than a few years.”
      Judging from personal experience as a shop owner and from what I know about the auto repair industry, I can tell you that other than a few exceptions, the turnover rate for technicians in our industry is too high. This makes me think, do we have a technician shortage or a retention problem? Have we done the best we can over the decades to provide great pay plans, benefits packages, great work environments, and the right culture to ensure that the techs we have stay with us?
      Finding and hiring qualified automotive technicians is not a new phenomenon. This problem has been around for as long as I can remember. While we do need to attract people to our industry and provide the necessary training and mentorship, we also need to focus on retention. Having a revolving door and needing to hire techs every few years or so costs your company money. Big money! And that revolving door may be a sign of an even bigger issue: poor leadership, and poor employee management skills.
      Here’s one more thing to consider, for the most part, technicians don’t leave one job to start a new career, they leave one shop as a technician to become a technician at another shop. The reasons why they leave can be debated, but there is one fact that we cannot deny, people don’t quit the company they work for, they usually leave because of the boss or manager they work for.
      Put yourselves in the shoes of your employees. Do you have a workplace that communicates, “We appreciate you and want you to stay!”
