QuickBooks tool hub is a free desktop application developed by Inuit. It is a unified desktop application that has a collection of different tools to fix many common issues and errors with QuickBooks desktop. Earlier there were different applications for solving various issues in QuickBooks desktop. QuickBooks provided a network diagnostic tool for fixing networking problems.
