A full accounting software system designed by Red Wing Software for startups and small organizations.
CenterPoint Accounting Software is a real-time accounting software application that allows businesses to track important information, so they can easily see which areas of the business are thriving, and which areas need improvement.

The purchase order module includes tools to help users keep the best sellers in stock and limit the slower moving items. Standard reports help users monitor stock and order the appropriate quantities for all inventory items. A ‘suggest orders’ function, can look at existing sales orders and/or past sales history, and create a suggested orders report from which users can immediately edit or place orders with vendors. Purchase orders can also be generated directly from sales orders. When users are entering orders for customers, they can easily see which items are currently on order.
Use the ratios module to pinpoint areas of strength and weakness in your business so you can increase profits and reverse negative trends. A wide variety of industry standard ratios are included, and there is no setup necessary as data is based on categories already set up within CenterPoint. Powerful drilldown capabilities allow you to see the data behind the indicators, and trend information can be graphed for any number of years in your database. Analysis has never been so easy!
View reports on the screen, printed, exported to a variety of applications, or e-mailed to managers and lenders.

The Sales Orders module allows users to easily transform quotes into orders, and quickly print quotes, orders and packing slips. Quotes and orders can easily be modified by using the Forms Designer within the software. While entering a quote or order, inventory availability can be displayed for each item. When orders are partially filled, back-orders are automatically created for the remaining items.
Company level and menu-level security.
really good - I was kind of ‘forced’ into using it by taking the job I’m in. I was used to QuickBooks online but have really come to enjoy CenterPoint!
Like the ‘extras’ when you right click in a transaction - edit, view other transactions, etc.
The use of email is not intuitive - would love to have the option to click email and then type in the email where it needs to go. In my situation the invoice doesn’t always go to the same person and its not a person I’d want to permanently put into our system. The ability to actually print/email receipts would be really helpful for my clientel.
good and precise
friendly user software.
credit card payment in AP- difficult to trace the vendors individually
the inability to lock the time clock dates w/o locking out administrators from making changes
the integration of time sheets into payroll & retro OT calc
the inability to assign dept/profits centers w/effective date (in same manner as rate). Also, the inabiliaty to change payment detail other than the amount (description/GL exp codes/profit ctr) info once payment posted w/o deleting the payment
Nothing negative to say except when their are financial questions, very limited staff to assist. Several times I have had to wait a day or two to get an answer - but I always get the correct answer and resolution
Support - If they don’t know they answer they will get it
No gross margin reports on open orders when we are trying to audit a complete job.
As someone who has worked with accrual accounting all my life, I am having having difficulty with the real time format. I know you have had webinars on Payroll but have not seen anything on the Accounting. Is there something coming soon?
I can’t think of anything at this time. Perhaps after I have been able to attend a webinar I will feel better and find something. I have been a user of Red Wing software for 30+ years and am not pleased with having the real time format forced on us.
The lack of training offered. All the emphasis seems to be on Payroll. When we called in to find out about how to do journal entries we were asked why we would need to. Well, in trying to compare months we need to enter depreciation, accruals, etc.
We started using the software, even went as far as moving accounts from Turningpoint to CenterPoint but was informed the Profit Centers part of the program works ONLY in the Income Statement and NOT with the Balance Sheet. We had to cancel CenterPoint because we use the profit centers for our job costing through the Trial Balance Sheet. If you ever fix this problem, let us know. We would more the happy to switch to CenterPoint.

Not able to use Profit Centers on the Balance Sheet.
