All we had to do was purchase the software and several licenses and see how we liked it. We could do the implementation ourselves, at our pace. Overall, xTuple gave us alternatives that no other vendor could.
How do I start using PostBooks?
Go to the Movies
The best way for new users to get started with PostBooks is to watch our demo videos. These video tutorials introduce you to specific features and show a complete business process flow using the xTuple business management software.
Use the Wizard
When you are ready to set up your own business using xTuple business management software, we offer the QuickStart Wizard. This extremely affordable package (only $30) includes a software add-on and a downloadable guide (PDF format) that provides a step-by-step process for entering your company information. This is the fastest way to start using the software.
Follow the Demo Guide
xTuple offers Demo Guides to introduce the features of the software. The Demo Guides, available online for free or as downloadable PDFs take users through a basic business process flow. The Demo Guides refer to the sample data contained in the Demo database that comes with the PostBooks installer.
Want to Try it on Your Own?
Experienced in set up of PostgreSQL databases? If you do not need the QuickStart Wizard, you can still use the QuickStart database template in the Databases folder (this folder was installed when you installed xTuple). Create a new PostgreSQL database, restore it using the postbooks_quickstart-[version-number].backup file, and set up your company on your own.
