Data needs to be integrated and flow from your accounting software and into Fieldpoint. Loads of data must be imported into Fieldpoint in order to have a complete and accurate list of customers, products, pricing, tax and job information, and any major data that will be utilized in your field service software.

With a click-of-a-button, that data is imported from QuickBooks and into your field service software, giving your dispatchers access to customer data to complete work orders, contracts and installation projects. It’s a fast and accurate way for your field service dispatchers and your accountants to use the same information, data and knowledge and know it is accurate because it’s coming straight from another software. It streamlines the process and ensures the information is the right information, and any changes that are made can be imported quickly to ensure that it is always the right information available.

With Fieldpoint’s integration with QuickBooks, invoices can be exported from Fieldpoint in batches and imported into QuickBooks for quick invoice creation. This means that invoices can be created for services delivered with a simple click, using the streamline connection built by the integration to improve the rate of speed at which work orders are turned around.

All the information is simply imported in QuickBooks from the field service software and accountants can turn out invoices within minutes. This will improve the cash flow of the organization, as they aren’t waiting weeks just for the invoice to go out, but instead are on top of billing because of the batch creation from Fieldpoint.
