WellMagic compared to accounting software

WellMagic was designed to pick up where most accounting packages leave off.  Good accounting software is essential for a well-run business but it is not enough by itself.  Over-the-Counter accounting software commonly used in the ground water industry was designed for any business.  As such it cannot begin to compare with a system set up specifically for your industry.  Take a look at this comparison of features between WellMagic and QuickBooks to see what you are missing without WellMagic.

While it is true there is some overlap between the two programs, it is not necessary to do redundant record keeping.  It is best to track the business in WellMagic, including the billing and inventory management, and let your accounting system do things it is best at: payroll, accounts payable, taxes, and other accounting functions.
