Selecting the right ERP software is crucial for business growth. QuickBooks Desktop, a well-known accounting software, has long been favored by SMEs in France. However, with the announcement of its service discontinuation in 2023, businesses have been forced to reevaluate their options. While QuickBooks Desktop was a reliable solution in the past, its discontinuation presents an opportunity to transition to more robust systems. Many companies are now considering Odoo or Acumatica for a more comprehensive solution. To advance your business, consider integrated ERP solutions like Odoo or Acumatica, which offer much more than just accounting.

Choosing an Effective ERP Software to Replace QuickBooks Desktop
What is QuickBooks Desktop?
QuickBooks Desktop, developed by Intuit since 2015, is a desktop ERP software installed directly on computers, providing accounting and financial management solutions for small and medium-sized businesses in France. Despite its ease of use, QuickBooks Desktop has limitations in functionality for growing businesses.
With the software's discontinuation, many companies are considering migrating to more advanced ERP platforms like Odoo or Acumatica.
