If you sell plaques/plates in your shop and use framing software too, how do you manage your sales of plaques/plates/trophies in your shop? Of course, this would apply to anyone who uses framing software plus has some other kind of "complicated" business that they also manage with other software.

I use Lifesaver currently. We sell lots of "gift" items, home decor, paintings and furniture through Lifesaver, as well as managing all of our framing sales with it. These kinds of items are all "simple" sales.

But I am considering adding a business to mine selling plaques, plates, trophies, and other engraveables. While it is no problem to ring up a sale in Lifesaver for an item, Lifesaver has no functionality that I can think of to manage plate sizes, fonts, plate materials, trophy types and sizes, types of plaques, medallions, ribbons, etc., that I will need to track for each individual sale. Of course I can come up with a paper system. The business (which is an existing one) uses a paper system now. But I left the dark ages behind long ago, and want to track everything with my computer. Any suggestions or recommendations from those who currently do this?

Thanks,
John
