myServiceForce.com Integrates QuickBooks 6.0 with Mobile Field Service Software
Data Sent to Leading Small Business Accounting Software in Real Time Gives Companies Accurate On-Time Billing
WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 23 / - myServiceForce.com, the mobile technology field service company, now offers users the ability to link field activity directly into QuickBooks® 6.0, the predominant accounting program in small business. The product enhancement meets field service companies' most pressing needs by automating invoicing, customer data exchange, and work order integration, speeding payment and improving customer service with accurate, immediate bills.
"QuickBooks is the backbone of our bookkeeping, but new versions often come with a learning curve, adoption issues and potential errors," said John Edmisten of Edmisten Heating & Cooling. "With myServiceForce.com's integration, we know that all information captured on each job is uploaded to our accounting system, eliminating unnecessary paperwork and support staff time."
myServiceForce.com is a hosted solution that transforms mobile workers' devices into fully functioning computers, requiring minimal investment and training. Running on the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform, the technology gives small businesses sophisticated routing and invoicing solutions previously only available to large companies, reducing overhead for franchisees and independent companies with one or dozens of field service technicians.
Businesses in HVAC repair, plumbing, pool and spa service and electrical contracting are already realizing five- and six-figure savings, with payback in 3 months or less.
QuickBooks 6.0 integration ensures accurate customer information and history, parts descriptions and pricing before and after each visit, on mobile devices and back-office systems. Users cut administrative time for both field technicians and office staff by 20 percent or more, giving companies new budget for staff, equipment improvements or savings.
By eliminating 20-30 minutes of administration per job, myServiceForce.com gives field service companies enough technician availability to increase billing by up to 20 percent - without adding new staff. Additionally, it eliminates the need and the resulting errors from creating and entering hand-written invoices, ensuring all hours, services and inventory are accurately tracked.
myServiceForce.com's next step with QuickBooks integration, due in the first quarter of 2007, is adding on-the-spot credit card processing to capture immediate payment.
"Small businesses can now compete with the big guys on the most important factor: price," said Gary Rawding, CEO of myServiceForce.com. "Savings go directly to the bottom line, giving owners what amounts to new revenue streams, without adding to existing cost structures."
