All integration is not equal

When it comes to integration, there are two important aspects that can significantly impact business operations.

First, is the integration one-way or bi-directional? Since many small to mid-sized businesses use QuickBooks for accounting, let’s use some real-world examples of the benefits of bi-directional integration versus one-way between QuickBooks and Acctivate inventory software.

With bi-directional integration, all customer-related and vendor-related transactions automatically occur in both QuickBooks & Acctivate. If you add a customer in QuickBooks, the customer is automatically added in Acctivate. If you pay a bill or receive a check in QuickBooks, the payment is automatically recorded in Acctivate. Bi-directional integration is the tightest integration possible and provides an easier, faster and more accurate environment.

The second consideration – in addition to QuickBooks, Acctivate integrates with numerous other best of breed software providers like shopping carts, shipping services, EDI translation software and productivity solutions, providing you the flexibility to select the best providers in each of these areas for your business needs.
