Using G Suite and QuickBooks Online Helps
Businesses Run More Efficiently, Save Time
Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) today announced the start of a
collaboration with Google to boost productivity for small
businesses around the world. The companies are working together on
product integrations for small businesses using G Suite, formerly
called Google Apps for Work, and QuickBooks Online.
The companies kicked off the collaboration by introducing two
new releases:
- Google Calendar and QuickBooks
Online – This new integration allows business owners to
schedule client work and appointments with Google Calendar, and
these billable appointments are available in QuickBooks for
invoicing customers and managing finances. Prior to this
integration, small businesses had to manually enter each activity
from their Google calendar into QuickBooks, which took longer and
increased the chance of human error.
- Single Sign On (SSO) available
through G Suite Marketplace – Small business owners can now
sign up for QuickBooks Online through the G Suite Marketplace. This
includes the introduction of single sign on capabilities, allowing
customers to sign in and manage their QuickBooks information from
their Google account. Furthermore, signing up for QuickBooks Online
is simplified as a business owner’s information is pre-populated
from their Google account.
“This is the beginning of an exciting collaboration between
Intuit and Google that will deliver huge benefits for the millions
of small businesses that we serve around the world,” said Vinay
Pai, vice president and head of the Intuit Developer Group. “Our
data indicates that 56 percent of QuickBooks customers are using
Google Calendar to book appointments, schedule meetings and track
client work. By bringing our technologies together, we will create
important efficiencies between two solutions customers are already
using.”
The Value of Integrations for Small Businesses
Intuit’s 2016 Appification of Small Business Study found that 58
percent of global small businesses look for seamless integrations
when selecting an app to help run their businesses. Savvy business
owners understand that deep technology integrations not only help
to save time, but also eliminate errors and improves overall
business productivity because employees can focus on driving
revenue and growing the business.
Intuit will be demoing the new calendaring integration with G
Suite at the QuickBooks Annual Conference in San Jose next week
(October 24-26, 2016).
