iCode Everest or Netsuite? - Looking for an "all-in-one" small business solution
Starting a new business from the ground up, and I'd like to do it right the first time.
I was leaning towards iCode Everest Advanced, and planning on hosting the entire suite on a server at my ISP... ...but have just come across new information on NetSuite's hosted solution, which is sounding pretty good too...
What I'm looking for:
- all in one business management(!)
- ecommerce
- CRM
- inventory management
- sales & shipping
- integrated payments system
...is that everything?
Am I on the right track with iCode, or should I be looking at a wider range of solutions?
I contacted CoreSense, but the $15,000 startup fee left a sour taste in my mouth...(I don't think they fully understand the 'small' in 'small business'...!)
It's only myself for now, with another person possibly joining me in 6 months. I'd like to 50-90% online sales, but also have the ability to access a type of POS internal to the office (it's an automotive performance shop that sells performance and OE parts, as well as having a 'service' component and shop with face-to-face customer relations...)
Thanks for any help.
Icode direct vs. Icode VAR
Sorry I joined this thread a bit late for Mutahman...
As a VAR for Icode, I think they have a great product - but in their direct sales operation, they don't get the customer service and support part. Fortunately they are moving more towards a Reseller channel.
As a certified Icode VAR we have been successful in supporting our many Icode installations, with better service and lower costs than Icode direct. We have implemented clients from 5 to 100 users, and continue to support them.
I'd be happy to discuss with anyone who is interested, and to provide references etc.
