Large client app online
I spent the weekend migrating data for one of my clients, and they are ‘live’ starting today on a large Servoy project management application I’ve been working on for the last year. The app has 160+ forms and reports.
The application handles most of them up-front business processes, Estimating and managing Jobs, through Invoicing, where it hands off to Quickbooks with complete 2-way synchronization of Jobs, Invoices and payments through the Quickbooks SDK. It includes a lot of custom workflows to manage their operations and an integrated Activity system that handles logging histories, and to-dos on job activity.
Probably the most interesting portion of the app is a highly configurable Estimating system with it’s own calculation engine to allow them to define dependencies between materials (ie, if I say the job needs 5 of these, it will also need 5*2 of these other things).
There still work to be done ironing out bugs and features, but it’s always rewarding to finally see software you’ve been working on for so long get put to use.

Hi Greg,
I may have a need to interface to the quickbook for invoices in the near future and was wondering if you could blog with some advice for me (even if it means don’t!).
Cheers,
Tom
