Manufacturing & Production environments- Does anyone use a third party applicaiton that talks to QuickBooks?

I can see that you're looking for a way where you can track the working time of your employee, topherfarrell. I know a website that can help you.

Since you've mentioned that you want to track the working hours of your employee as they work on their job, you can subscribe to QuickBooks Time (QBT). QBT allows you to take control of everything by managing timesheets, as well as managing your team. You'll also have the ability to track job progress by collaborating in real-time. In addition, your employees can also easily clock in using a smartphone, computer, or time clock kiosk. 

You don't have to worry since although this is a website, you can integrate this into QuickBooks Desktop using Web Connector. 

I'll provide these materials for you to view and consider subscribing to QBT: 

• Time-tracking software built for your business
• Plans and Pricing

You may also use this guide if you already subscribed to QuickBooks Time and want to get started: Get started with QuickBooks Time. 

The comment section is always open for any additional information or inquiries about QuickBooks-related concerns. Have a pleasant day, and be safe. 

Thanks @IrizA But this app has none of the functionality that I need. I don't need something to track employee hours or to manage payroll, time sheets, or anything of that nature. QuickBooks makes the production environment useful to a point, but when it comes to manufacturing and production, BOM tracking for manufacturing of specific Build Assemblies, Sub-Assemblies, time studies and machine time, it falls seriously short.

Hi topherfarrell,

I appreciate you for getting back to us.

I can recommend a 3rd party manufacturing app to explore but it only supports QB Online.

We use Autodesk Fusion Operations (previously called Prodsmart). it will do everything you need and more! Here is a link to see if it will work for you, it also offers a free trial.
