PDG Commerce Names 2008 'Awesome Add-On' for QuickBooks Ecommerce Solution
Atlanta, GA. (October 24, 2007) – PDG Commerce has been honored by the nation’s largest community of QuickBooks
professionals, The Sleeter Group, as one of a select group of technologies that enhances the QuickBooks line of
small business accounting and management software. PDG Commerce is shopping cart software that allows merchants
to sell their products or services online. Its integration with QuickBooks allows for real time two-way
synchronization between the web store and QuickBooks (or QuickBooks Point of Sale). As the leading worldwide
network of QuickBooks consultants, The Sleeter Group has members throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
The group announced its “Awesome QuickBooks Add-Ons for 2008” at its annual accounting software consulting
conference on October 24 in Las Vegas.
“PDG Commerce is awesome because it fills a niche that many QuickBooks users need,” said Doug Sleeter, founder
of The Sleeter Group. “QuickBooks is the most-used small business accounting software, which results in an
incredible demand from users for the software to do just about everything.” Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks,
partners with third-party software developers to create solutions that work with QuickBooks to fit the needs of
these small businesses.
“PDG Commerce is one of the best add-ons because of its superior integration with QuickBooks, its overall design,
outstanding features and conformance with appropriate accounting standards,” Sleeter said. More than 400
products are available through the Intuit Developer Network as add-ons to the software, but PDG Commerce was one
of only 13 “Awesome QuickBooks Add-Ons” named by The Sleeter Group for 2008.
“It is a great honor to be selected by The Sleeter Group as one of the Awesome QuickBooks Add-Ons for 2008,” said
Karen Snyder, President of PDG Software. “PDG Commerce is a great productivity boost for QuickBooks users who
want to sell their products online because it allows them to manage their information directly in QuickBooks and
automatically imports online order and customer information into QuickBooks.”
“Before awarding the ‘awesome’ label, I dig deep into each product and ask all the hard questions that
consultants and business owners will ask,” Sleeter said. “I survey products in several vertical markets where
QuickBooks may not have all the needed features, or where clients want customized solutions.”
Sleeter noted that when making selections for the honor, he and The Sleeter Group’s staff take several factors
into consideration. Those selected must have the following attributes:
- Superior design, implementation and features;
- Superior integration with QuickBooks, enabling the import and export of data to and from QuickBooks using
best practices of the QuickBooks SDK programming interface;
- Appropriate transaction and field population for recording data into QuickBooks that preserves and/or
enhances its standard reporting features;
- Conformance with good accounting and operating standards, and;
- Outstanding customer support and overall customer satisfaction.
