Our verdict on OfficeBooks
OfficeBooks is a web-based business management application for distributors and manufacturing businesses. It brings inventory control, sales quotations, purchase orders, work orders, invoicing, reports, contact management, and credit-card processing into one browser-accessible system. Inventory quantities adjust when goods are purchased, built, or sold, while reorder triggers and shortage alerts support purchasing decisions. Small teams that need both purchasing and manufacturing tools should find its scope particularly relevant.
Pricing is structured around a permanent free plan and paid packages. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes reports, inventory control, invoices, work orders, and work centers, with no time limit. The Purchasing plan includes unlimited users and records, budgets, an approval system, QuickBooks Online integration, and reports. Distributor costs $79 per month and adds sales and quotes, inventory control, and invoices alongside unlimited users, unlimited records, and reports. Full costs $169 per month and is optimized for manufacturing with inventory control and work orders. The paid tiers provide a clearer fit for purchasing, distribution, or manufacturing-led operations.
Its strongest breadth comes from connecting operational steps: sales quotations can be accepted online, sales orders support fulfillment and packing lists, purchase orders can notify suppliers, and manufacturing uses work orders and bills of material. Reports export to Excel, PDF, and HTML, while integrations include QuickBooks Online, Excel, Gmail, Stripe, and Google. The trade-off is a web-only platform with no native mobile apps and less emphasis on barcode-centric or multi-location workflows. Choose OfficeBooks when a small team wants purchasing, inventory, invoicing, and manufacturing in one system; consider another option when mobile warehouse work or deeper multi-location control is central.
