My Dad didn't just teach me how to walk; he also taught me how to succeed in business

I grew up around people who were all self-made business owners.  I always knew that I also wanted to have my own business but was not sure what I was good at. I went to school and worked for a while in Education, first teaching and then becoming a principal of a small private school.  Later, I switched fields, and started working for a private ISP (Internet Service Provider). It was time to make a change when I discovered that I was earning three times less than the men I was supervising.

My Dad - Danny Doron

I looked to my Dad who started his own business working alone, slowly building it up. His first shop was in an old metal building that he rented. His paper work was inside a shoe box and he had one employee. As he made money he invested it back in his business. The one small metal building, turned into another until he was able to buy his land and build his own buildings employing over 60 workers.  My Dad was not afraid to work hard. As the business owner, he was the Secretary, Bookkeeper, Sales Manager, Marketing Director, Chief Engineer, Foreman and Welder. 

Inspired by what I knew could be done, my husband and I set to start our own business. The requirements were laid before me:

1. Believe in yourself
2. Work hard (very hard)
3. Be persistent
4. Do not be afraid to take on challenges
5. No Job is too small

A business does not build itself alone. You need customers and customers need good quality product with excellent service. My Dad would go to work every weekends and work through the night many times so that he could deliver to his customers a high quality product as promised when promised. If a piece of equipment broke, he would fix it, getting his clothe dirty and his hands black from machine grease.

When my husband and I started our business, I was prepared to work hard, and give it all I had. Every penny we made went right back into the business. We were not afraid to try new things. Our software company is doing well. We developed our own framework on which we build our various software applications. Although we work with large corporations, we also created a host of applications to work for small business utilizing common software – such as QuickBooks or Inventory systems.

The development of the software is directly tied to our customers. We encourage our customers to give us feedback and listen very carefully to their needs. As a result, we created software that is very powerful yet extremely easy to use. We solved problems we never knew existed! 

My Dad never taught me how to weld (although I wanted to learn).  Instead, he taught me to how to succeed in business by applying myself, working hard and being persistent.  Knowing what he achieved is inspiring me every day.

Printing Product Labels out of QuickBooks

Did you ever want to print labels for the products in your items list and couldn't ? 

QuickBooks is a great accounting software, but when it comes to printing labels for products it has very little to offer. Many companies are using QuickBooks to manage their inventory and warehouses. The biggest problem they have is the need to print labels for their products, either coming in or going out. In addition, there is a need to print bin labels or shelf labels for the warehouse.

We were first made aware of this issue about 8 years ago when a small Diamond Jeweler wanted to print "rat-tail" labels for his rings but couldn't. (Rat-tail labels are the small tags that are used to wrap around the band of a ring or another piece of jewelry.) 

He came to us, asking for our help. He explained how many hours it takes his wife to sit at the computer and to retype the jewels information. When we asked around we found out that it was almost impossible to produce product labels from QuickBooks.

The program that we created was very simple at first - and could only print product labels from the item list. As time passed, our customers asked for more features. Today the software is able to connect directly to QuickBooks to print labels out of invoices, sales orders, purchase orders and even pick lists.

There are many benefits to printing your own labels. One of these is printing Bin labels with Product picture.

When warehouse employees have to pick an order - it is much easier for them to pick an item while looking at the picture of the item. This in-turn reduces pick time, but also reduces customer returns.

The flip side of it, is when new items are received in the warehouse. Employees have less chance of putting the item in the wrong bin if it has a picture of the item on the bin.

Inventory management is a complex task. By having barcode labels, you can scan the labels directly into your QuickBooks or into a spreadsheet when doing inventory counts.

Another way of using labels is to offer your customers additional benefits, such as printing labels with their barcode and their prices on the items they purchase from you.

Labels for QuickBooks offer all of these benefits and many more. We would love talking to you about how it could benefit your company.
