Best Church Management Software
Do you have ideas for a church to manage inventory, use and ordering of office supplies?
I work for a large church and we desperately need to have a system to inventory, manage and track office supplies.
We need to establish re-order points and start understanding how the church year (i.e. fall kick-off, Christmas, Easter, summer) affects the need for inventory so what’s needed can be onhand and ordered for the best prices. We have good suppliers, but people just order whatever they want/need so there’s lots of money to be saved.
I would love to see forms, lists, software, written instructions, policy, rules, methods. You get the idea!
Also, has anyone tried using MS Access Inventory Management template for this?
Clarification: This church has 3 locations with nearly 150 on staff. Theft of office supplies is not at issue. Being a paperclip Nazi is not at issue. Having supplies there when needed is the goal. Thanks to those who have taken my questions seriously.
I currently use quickbooks to handle all aspects of my small business including inventory management although I also have several custom excel spreadsheets I have set up as a quick reference.
I like quickbooks because it does a lot more than just inventory management. It will do forecasting, budgeting, invoices, handle payroll and a million other things that Access just isn’t designed to do. It is also a lot more user friendly than access is(although I haven’t used the template you mentioned).
