Hi,

I am new to these forums and have done a lot of searching on the internet regarding the question I'm having and just began to search this site a few minutes ago. I will continue searching but just to receive some more specific information, if possible, I will go ahead and post my question.

I am currently in the process of establishing a retail online business. I have hired a web designer who is taking care of the online solution. However, I am curious as to how I can print invoices, build a customer database, and track inventory. Currently, the back-end of the website keeps note of the stock-on-hand of each item and, if all goes well, will maintain a list of customers for me. Will this also print invoices? The web designer said that we will be able to print shipping labels through the solution he is designing.

I suppose my main question is, is there any recommended software that supplements an online business? If so, please provide the types of software I need to look at (i.e. Quickbooks Invoice Management). Looking for immediate assistance so I can continue the process and meet the anticipated 'go-live' date.

Thanks in advance for all responses. All help is welcomed and greatly appreciated.
