Effective snow and ice management requires more than just plows and shovels—it also demands meticulous financial management. Keeping track of expenses, invoicing clients, and managing vendor bills are time-consuming error-prone tasks for Snow and Ice Management companies.

The benefits of CrewTracker's QuickBooks Integration saves time, reduces errors, and dramatically enhances the overall financial efficiency and effective of the business operations.


QuickBooks Integration features are the best in the industry and have been a core aspect of the CrewTracker Software Digital Services Platform since 2005.



What is QuickBooks Integration?

QuickBook Desktop and QuickBooks Online are widely used accounting software to enable businesses to manage their finances efficiently. CrewTracker's QuickBooks Integration features provides seamless "bidirectional" integration, allowing businesses to sync their financial data effortlessly, creating a harmonious relationship between operations and accounting department.



QuickBooks Integration Benefits


Streamlined Financial Management:

Managing your finances is a complex task, especially during the winter months. CrewTracker's QuickBooks Integration greatly simplifies this process by syncrhonizing (sharing) essential information with QuickBooks:

  • Customer and Sub-Customer Property Information

  • Vendors/Crews/Employees

  • Charges / Accounts / Tax Codes


The financial data present in QuickBooks is transferred into the CrewTracker Software Digital Services Platform. This ensures that there is no redundant data and also ensures integrity between the two systems while eliminating double data entry and reducing errors.


Accurate and Timely Customer Invoicing and Vendor Billing:

Invoicing is a critical aspect of any Snow and Ice Management business. With CrewTracker's QuickBooks Integration, the overall integrated workflow is:

  1. Property and other information is synchronized with CrewTracker

  2. Property Services and Routes are created in CrewTracker

  3. All Contract Terms, Pricing, Materials, Crew Pay and all other aspects are documented

  4. Services are performed and data is stored by crews using the mobile app

  5. Services reviewed/updated as needed for accuracy and can include weather data integration and other service-related data

  6. Property-level customizable Invoices are sent over and created in QuickBooks from CrewTracker

  7. Vendor Bills are sent to QuickBooks from CrewTracker

  8. Accounting processes continue in QuickBooks (e.g. invoices emailed, vendor bills paid, etc...)


Custom Invoice Descriptions

The automatic creation of invoice and billing information in QuickBooks is game-changing. This process ensures that your clients receive accurate and timely invoices - additionally each customer can have custom invoice descriptions to address their unique requirements.


As an example, one CrewTracker feature is one-click WeatherWorks snow depths integration, which brings in the snow depths for each service. The words "Certified Snowfall Totals by WeatherWorks" can be included in the invoice description, providing an additional level of integrity .


The end result is improved cash flow, invoice integrity, data accuracy and timely invoice generation. This also reduces the occurrence of late payments.
