How Do You Track Revenue?

I'm currently using a crazy array of Excel spreadsheets in a weak attempt to keep track of every penny, but it just isn't cutting it.

Is anyone aware of any software, server side or not, that works as a sales tracker for varied products?

 

I guess you are talking about ROI in online advertising probably, if so the ROI in online advertisement is significantly much higher than actual sales tracked by any software.

 

I have to think that there's a version of Quick Books that could do this for you since so many people use that for tracking small business accounting. Worth a look...

 

I'm not talking about anything like that. I'm looking for a software solution to track all revenue made by my company.

I've tried quickbooks, it's works well, but I'd like to find something a little more geared towards hosts and other internet service providers.

 

it's 200$ software...anyone got it for free?

 

What is $200?

 

i just use a microsoft access database to track all inventory + sales etc.. it does the trick

 

quickbooks

 

My dad is an accountant and just does QuickBooks for me...I sell on ebay.

 

If it costs $200, why would anyone have it free? If you're looking for warez, this isn't the spot.

Thanks for the access idea, I may look into that!

 

I use Excel, its been working for me so far. It lets me access all information nice and fast, I graph revenue stats, and can generate new graphs based on teh data I need to analyze where I need to work on most.

 

I use microsoft money. That is realy usefull to me.

 

I also use msn money... very good program that has worked for me and the reports are good.

 

I used MS Money a while back, it was effective untill I started to expand my business, I can just have a new table made in excel in about 5 seconds, setting up new account with MS Money takes a lot longer. I ended up noticing that a majority of the time I was using the program I was using it to actually prepare to enter data, or prepare to display data, as apposed to actually entering and analyzing excel data.

Microsoft Excel is a lot mroe then just tables to keep data organized, it had great graphiing capabilities, and the beauty of it is its fast, really fast.

 

MS Excel..works fine with me...if you are a little enthu, create a MS Access database..helps a lot.

 

Hmmm... would anyone be willing to share an excel template where all the formula's are already put in an such?

 

Well the thing is, tdnetworks, it totally depends on your business. If you wan't the best spreadsheet you should just customize it to your business yourself. It doesn't take too long and is definitely worth it.

 

ms money is nice and easy to use.

 

I use ACCESS,it is easy.

 

I track all my income via Excel when you have it set up the way you want its very easy and simple to update
