QXpress vs. 'other' programs |
|
| 1. One click integration |
 |
Unlike QXpress which fully integrates with QuickBooks with a single mouse click,
other programs have a complicated process where you need to line up QuickBooks
accounts with their own accounts one by one. |
|
| 2. Ongoing integration |
 |
Unlike QXpress which is automatically updated with any changes to the Customer
and Item list in QuickBooks, other programs just do a one time import from QuickBooks
and all future changes are not updated in both programs. |
|
| 3. Live-linking |
 |
In QXpress when a customer is added or edited it instantly gets updated in QuickBooks.
Other programs, however, require you to add the customer in QuickBooks and then go
through the full integration process all over again. |
|
| 4. Post individual transactions |
 |
In QXpress, transactions like invoices get posted over individually to the appropriate
customer in QuickBooks. Other programs, however, just post the daily or weekly sales
totals and deposits to QuickBooks without any detail - causing an accounting nightmare
when it comes to credits or other adjustments. |
|
| 5. QuickBooks look and feel |
 |
Unlike QXpress which is made exclusively for QuickBooks users, other programs have
an entirely different interface, forcing you and your staff to move away from what you
are already comfortable with. |
|
| 6. QuickBooks terminology |
 |
Since every user of QXpress is a QuickBooks user, they demand that QXpress calls QuickBooks
lists and fields by their correct name. Other programs, however, are not made exclusively for
QuickBooks users, and have to cater to many different audiences, and just end up leaving you confused. |
|
| 7. QuickBooks-style dropdown lists |
 |
QXpress understands how you and your staff are familiar with QuickBooks, right down to how you
setup your Item and Customer lists to have sublevels for fast data entry. As such, we use the same
type of dropdown lists where you can type out the sublevel name or the full name. QXpress knows
it makes a difference - other programs simply don't. |
|
| 8. Service times for Employees |
 |
QXpress allows you to record start and stop times for each service on a per employee basis. This allows
you to post service times directly into the Timesheet in QuickBooks. Other programs just let you keep a
total job cost time, causing you to have to manually double-enter the employee time entries into QuickBooks. |
|
| 9. Use QuickBooks Items |
 |
In QXpress, every service is assigned to a QuickBooks 'Service Item', and every material is assigned to a
QuickBooks 'Inventory' or 'Non-Inventory Item'. Other programs invent work-arounds to try to make their
own inventory and job names fit with QuickBooks, causing a nightmare for your QuickBooks Profit/Loss Statement. |
|
| 10. Real time QuickBooks transactions |
 |
QXpress displays QuickBooks invoices, estimates, payments and credit memos in the QXpress Customer screen in
real time. This allows you to quickly answer any questions your customers have about their account, whether it
was a QuickBooks transaction, a QXpress service, or a QXpress Contact Manager event. Other programs, however,
force you to keep some information in their software, and other information in QuickBooks, causing embarrassing
delays while you look for the answers to their questions. |
