Any business generates admin, and tradies know all too well what a time consuming, but important task it can be to handle the accounting side of things. Manual data entry coupled with paper invoices and quotes, complex documents and lost receipts. Lots can go wrong, and often does. Which is why bringing accounting tools together with job management software is vital to keeping finances in check, and stress levels down.
The benefits of integrating accounting and job management software
Where do we start? Probably the biggest benefit of having the two programs “talking” to each other is time saved. You no longer need to switch between programs, and any changes made in one will automatically copy over to the other. Input information via your accounting software and it will appear on your job management platform, and vice versa. This equals more time for you and less opportunity for error. The data you see is more reliable, and that provides that all important peace of mind.
Invoicing software for tradies allows you to customise templates for quotes and invoices. By linking the two you can take this customisation feature that bit further. Gain greater financial transparency and easily see the costs associated with each job and know your data is safe. By removing the need for heaps of manual data entry, less mistakes are made and more time is saved.
“I like knowing the data being passed between the systems is secure and less open to human error”
