QuickBooks has long been a staple of accounting packages, due in part to its ability to integrate with new, specialized technologies as they emerge. By simplifying workflow processes, QuickBooks integrations empower employees, accelerate growth, and promote progress in companies of all sizes.
Below are eight software apps that integrate with QuickBooks. Each of these solutions accomplishes a different work function - including remote employee access, payroll assistance and outsourcing, electronic transactional functions, project management, collaboration, and inventory management - and stand up to even the most rigorous industry standards.
Salesforce
The Breakdown: Salesforce aims to increase sales team productivity by enabling location flexibility and providing users with real-time information. The software generates forecasts and reports based on extensive customer data that updates regularly.

It utilizes performance measurement metrics to promote healthy competition within companies and incentivize winning performances, which is something that many sales teams thrive on.
Insightly
The Breakdown: Insightly is one of the highest customer recommended applications on this list. It’s biggest selling point is its relationship mapping utility, which features a record-linking functionality that maps customer relationships through email and other existing documents. Additionally, this CRM allows users to track milestones and pipelines for specific projects, capture relationship datasets, and maintains a fully-functioning report scheduler. Although Insightly integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks, it is not compatible on mobile for Windows or maintain available phone access for customer service.

The Breakdown: Teampay is the first purchasing software built for fast-growing, technology-enabled businesses. Utilizing an interactive chatbot, employees and finance teams can request, approve, and track spending from anywhere in real-time. Every purchase starts with a request and, after approval, results in a virtual card. Teampay’s pricing is a flat, monthly fee based on feature set and spend volume, and allows for unlimited users, vendors and approvers.
The Benefits: Whereas traditional models rely on payment reconciliations or sharing corporate cards, Teampay controls spending before it happens by allowing companies to create approval workflows and spend limits to make sure their team always stays in budget. This eliminates late payments, faulty purchases, and complicated procedures to figure out who spent what and where. Its direct integration with QuickBooks reduces the manual work that typically goes into closing the books, thus enabling companies to focus on growth and development.

Toggl
The Breakdown: Toggl emphasizes simplicity, with a one click time-in/time-out button and relatively straightforward layout.

This gives the user a real-time snapshot of their work efforts.
The Benefits: Toggl aims to make organizations more efficient by simplifying data into easy-to-follow, immediately accessible information.

The Benefits: Cin7 is highly flexible and has a robust list of compatible integrations, making it a favorite of organizations of many sizes and structures. Although automating inventory management can be a complicated process, Cin7 simplifies this endeavor by providing accurate and easily accessible data. This frees employees from time-consuming labor and mitigates clerical errors.

The Breakdown: A project management favorite of companies like Google, Adobe, and HTC, Wrike is an all-in-one workspace application. The interface has a unique, streamlined layout consisting of three windows: the left window displays a project hierarchy, the center window shows a project’s task list, and the right window contains the details for each task.
