O Canada - QuickBooks Inventory Software for Canadian Companies
Canadian companies, who are more export oriented than their U.S. brethren, have
specific needs when it comes down to inventory and order management.
NumberCruncher addresses those needs in its flagship product All Orders. How you
may ask does a U.S. based company have so much knowledge of Canada. Well that is
because its founder and president, Ian Benoliel, is from Canada. Born in
Montreal, Ian grew up working in his father's manufacturing business. Ian's
familiy moved to Toronto there he started his career as a Charted Accountant.
Although he now lives in South Florida, his mother, brothers and sister live in Canada.
So when selecting an inventory software that is integrated with QuickBooks
Canada, make sure you select one that have those features required by
Canadian companies like those contained in All Orders by NumberCruncher.
Support for GST, HST and PST
U.S. and Canadian sales tax a coniderably different. U.S. taxes are
generally exigible on the sales of goods whereas Canadian sales tax is exigible
on both goods and services. The tax authority in the U.S.
is on the state, county and city level and in Canada the tax authority
on the federal and provincial levels. Finally, and most
importantly, the U.S. system is not a value added tax therefore for
taxes are whereas in Canada, companies received an input tax credit for
taxes paid to suppliers and other vendors.
Foreign Currencies
Its rare that U.S. companies have anything but U.S. dollar bank accounts.
In fact you would be hard pressed to find a bank that can offer a Canadian
currency bank account. (By the way you may want to try Harris Bank
which is a subsidiary of the Bank of Montreal). Conversely I
would be hard pressed to find a Canadian manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor
that does not have both Candian and U.S. dollar bank accounts.
Canadian companies need foreign currency because they export to the U.S., Canada
largest trading partner and when importing from Asia.
Multiple locations
Many Canadian, particularly manufacturers, have many customers in the U.S. as such they may have third party logistics holding
inventory so lead times can be minimized.
