Introduction
Greetings, fellow business owners and managers! In today’s world, managing a business has become increasingly complex. We need to combine various tools and software in order to manage our businesses effectively. Two of the most important tools that businesses rely on are Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software and accounting software like Quickbooks.
While CRM software helps you manage your customer interactions, Quickbooks helps you manage your financial transactions and accounting. However, using these two tools in isolation can cause inconsistencies and errors in your data, leading to ineffective decision making.
Thankfully, there is a way to integrate these two tools and synchronize data between them. In this article, we will explore what the sync method is and how to use it to sync Method CRM and Quickbooks, along with its benefits and limitations.
What is Sync Method?
The Sync Method is a cloud-based service that lets you synchronize your Method CRM data with Quickbooks. It is a two-way synchronization that helps you keep your data consistent between the two software tools. This integration helps to streamline your business processes and reduces the risk of errors in data entry.
With the Sync Method, you can sync all your customer information, invoices, payments, and more between Method CRM and Quickbooks. Whenever you make changes to your data in one tool, the changes are automatically reflected in the other tool. This ensures that your data is always accurate and up-to-date.
How Does it Work?
The Sync Method works by connecting your Method CRM account with your Quickbooks account. Once the two accounts are connected, you can select the data fields that you want to synchronize between the two tools.
The synchronization process is automatic and real-time. Whenever you make changes to your data in one tool, the changes are immediately reflected in the other tool. For example, if you create a new customer in Method CRM, the same customer will be created in Quickbooks. If you update an invoice in Quickbooks, the same invoice will be updated in Method CRM.
