They respond slowly to customer feedback. They do not promptly solve the issue with fields being too short in version 12.05. Expanded them in the version 12.06.

I like the simplicity of the program. It's pretty straight-forward and easy to get the hang of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Passport Business Solutions (PBS) Accounting? I dislike the inability to correct an invoice after it has been posted. Making a correction on an invoice involves issuing a credit memo and re-typing the entire invoice. It's a complicated and seems a bit unnecessary. I also do not like not being able to call the company directly for support. The rep our company works with charges a lot for his time and calling him to fix a minor issue ends up being very costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Passport Business Solutions (PBS) Accounting solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been using PBS for years, back to when it was Real World. We like the familiarity and the general ease of use. The DOS-based interface makes operations like order entry and invoicing faster because it allows faster keying without the need for a mouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Passport Business Solutions (PBS) Accounting? The reporting features are very limited, and there isn't enough customization of fields for data. There aren't even enough character spaces to put in most customer's full email addresses. The reports take a very long time to run, partially due to the fact that there isn't enough customization, so you can't exclude things you do not need. The DOS interface is basic, and the Windows interface lacks the speed required to enter orders at a quicker pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Passport Business Solutions (PBS) Accounting: Definitely make sure that you do not need the extra features that most programs have that PBS seems to be missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Passport Business Solutions (PBS) Accounting solving and how is that benefiting you? Passport handles all of our order entry, invoicing, inventory control and accounting. It is basically a "one stop shop" for our business needs. Even with its limitations, it is handy to have everything we need bundled into one program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

[Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/passport-business-solutions-pbs-accounting-review-1809682/official_response/edit) Dear Administrator, We appreciate that your PBS modules serve as a “one-stop shop” for your business needs, but it could be doing so much more with what is likely a simple update. We suspect from your description that your company is using an older version of our software, and that it is set to “classic” mode. This was a popular option a few years ago for companies transitioning from RealWorld Accounting Software. The graphical option, with its tabs and easy-to-use menu design really speeds up data entry and order processing work. A couple of versions ago, we expanded customer data fields and most other fields throughout the software to more standard dimensions. PBS SQL really speeds up reporting, even if you have years’ worth of data stored, and makes it easier to design more detailed reports, as well as allowing easier integration of PBS with other SQL-based applications. We invite you to visit our website for more information, or feel free to contact us. We’d be happy to show you the possibilities.
