The Evolution of the Perfect QuickBooks® Check Printing Solution

Becoming a check printing solution for the QuickBooks market has been an exciting journey.  Growing a business is always difficult and demands undeterred hard work, a lot of patience, and a touch of creativity.  After making my wife’s job and life infinitely easier and happier (see previous post below to witness my miraculous husbandry), my brother and I moved our new business, Wellspring Software (a nominal donation from my beautiful wife), into two cubicles on an unused floor of her company’s Newport Beach building.  Settling into our new, humble 10×10 office space, my brother and I may or may not have taken several meetings in an empty corner office with panoramic views overlooking the Pacific to impress potential clients (I won’t point fingers, but my wife gained us access to this executive suite).  Although the views were beautiful, what we learned was that PrintBoss did not need a corner office with ocean vistas to sell itself.  The software was revolutionary and elegant in its simplicity and took little more than a demonstration and a happy handshake to seal a deal.

PrintBoss began as a third party software add-on to the AccPac product.  This was the launching point.  After numerous installations, we realized that we were being selfish not making PrintBoss available to more accounting packages.  So, in our philanthropy, we developed an interface with Great Plains.  Quickly the world was becoming a better place as the incessantly troubled accountant was finding hope and happiness in this new, radical piece of software.  Allowing people to print checks on blank check stock and in turn saving them time and money was creating better lives.  We even received unofficial reports that children of accountants were being brought home more toys and being given candy and ice cream while staying up later.

Two events facilitated PrintBoss’ rapid growth: the Sage purchase of Accpac and the Microsoft purchase of Great Plains.  Through these mergers, PrintBoss developed interfaces with all of the accounting packages of Sage and Microsoft.  From Sage’s lineage came Abra, Mas 90, 200, and 500, Simply, Peachtree, and more.  From Microsoft’s tree we interfaced with Axapta, Solomons, Dynamics, and Small Business Accounting, among others.  With the ball now rolling, PrintBoss picked up numerous independent product interfaces along the way.  PrintBoss currently has 38 standard interfaces as well as over 50 custom interfaces.

We are happy to introduce our newest and arguably (well… not really) most important interface with QuickBooks.  By providing solutions to the QuickBooks user, we see our philanthropy curing more and more of the World’s check printing issues. And, we are pleased to be an Intuit Solution Provider.   So join us in our quest to save people, like yourself, money, time, and headaches by printing checks on blank check stock.
