Construction purchase order software

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

My cousin owns/runs a small construction company.  It started out as an 
excavating business and expanded from there.  He installs septic and 
drainage systems, does a lot of hauling, recycles concrete, various 
other things.  His wife does the books via Quickbooks.

He called and asked me about "purchase order" software.  That's what he 
says he's looking for.  I think he knows what he wants and at the same 
time _doesn't_ know exactly what he wants.  The best he was able to 
articulate was he wants to make sure what his employees purchase for the 
company gets charged to the correct job.  He says what's in Quickbooks 
in this regard isn't what he wants.  There may be some employee 
pilfering going on.  I don't _know_ that, I'm just inferring that from 
his voice mail.

Anyone have some suggestions where to look?  I don't think he can 
explain it any better, I think he'll know it when he sees it.

Of course, no software is a panacea.  If he doesn't have the proper 
controls on his employees, well, you know the rest.

Thanks.
