Getting Your Apps to Work Together at Your Plumbing or Trades Company

Integrate your software apps for more efficient scheduling, bookkeeping and invoicing at your plumbing or other trades business.

Are you looking to streamline business operations in your trades (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc.) business? Investing in billing, scheduling and bookkeeping apps can help you become more efficient from the phone call to the invoice — the key is to make sure you map the data workflows correctly.

A Seamless Scheduling, Bookkeeping and Billing System

If you’ve invested in new apps for your plumbing or other trades business, you need to make sure the data flows correctly between the apps. The goal is to have a streamlined flow of data from the initial customer call to the invoice. If you map the data incorrectly, you’ll either have to re-enter the data in different systems (reducing the efficiency you expected to gain), or you’ll inadvertently miss data altogether.

Not sure how to set up the apps to work together? A bookkeeping and controller services provider with industry-specific expertise can set you up with the right online bookkeeping software for your plumbing or other trades business. They can also customize the software to fit your needs, without unnecessary bells and whistles. And once they’ve set up your bookkeeping software for maximum efficiency, they can make sure the data workflows map correctly between your bookkeeping, scheduling and billing apps.

Improve Cash Flow by Getting Paid Faster

Another advantage of using an online billing app? You can not only get invoices to your customers faster, but also make it easier for them to pay you. Clicking to pay is simpler and faster than writing and mailing a check. By reducing the time between work done and payment, you’ll improve your cash flow.

Take Your Business to the Next Level

Investing in these apps can result in another benefit that you might not have even considered. The more information about your trades business you record online, and the more steps you integrate, the greater your analytics capabilities become.

With new insights into your data, and a trained bookkeeping professional to help you interpret that information, you can gain a better understanding of your business performance. From cash flow forecasts that will help you make sure you have enough cash to pay your taxes next year to key performance indicators (KPIs) such as gross profit margin and net income, you’ll have the financial information you need to plan for success.

Improve Your App-titude

If you’ve been trying to modernize your plumbing or other trades business by using the latest software apps, make sure you’re optimizing your investment by getting expert help on mapping the data workflows. You’ll be amazed by the efficiency you gain from a system that works together.
