Latest Integrations Provide Customers With
Better Solutions to Run Their Small Business
Two new integrations with QuickBooks Online and G Suite will
give small businesses better options for invoicing and
communicating with their customers, Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU)
announced today.
The new Gmail Add-on for Invoicing lets small business customers
invoice their clients directly from Gmail. In addition, Intuit is
developing another integration that brings team collaboration and
QuickBooks functionality to Hangouts Chat, the new intelligent
communication app in G Suite.
“We’re dedicated to helping small businesses around the world
get paid fast. We know that often times their hard-earned payments
are stalled because of manual invoicing processes, so we made it
our mission to create frictionless invoicing from their point of
need,” said Alex Chriss, senior vice president and chief product
officer, Small Business Group at Intuit. “Half-a-million QuickBooks
Online customers use Gmail to communicate with their clients, and
now with this seamless integration, it’s easier for those small
businesses to send invoices – and get paid faster as a result.”
The latest integrations are another example of Intuit’s
continued efforts to find innovative ways to improve the day-to-day
lives of small business owners. With 1.8 million customers
worldwide, QuickBooks Online empowers small business owners and the
self-employed to make better decisions while providing them with
the right tools to run, grow and manage their business.
To achieve this, QuickBooks Online collaborates with companies
such as Google to build innovative in-product experiences through
third-party integrations. Today, QuickBooks is one of the world’s
largest accounting platforms for small businesses, with
integrations that offer a full range of solutions from payments, to
collaboration to CRM tools.
Intuit announced its first integration between QuickBooks Online
and G Suite called Bill My Time from Google Calendar in October at
QuickBooks Connect. This integration allows business owners to
schedule client work and appointments with Google Calendar, and
makes these billable appointments available in QuickBooks for
invoicing and managing finances. As a result, business owners are
able to invoice faster by finding all scheduled client work in
Google Calendar and auto-populating the total hours in their
invoicing flow. QuickBooks small business owners can also sign up
for QuickBooks Online directly from the G Suite Marketplace.
“I've been using Bill My Time with Google Calendar since last
September, as a way to better manage and calculate my billable
hours to accurately bill my clients,” said Zachary D. Mayhew,
founder of Mayhew Financial Solutions, based in Indianapolis.
“Since then, this integration has become indispensable to my firm.
It has saved me hours of billing work and freed me up to focus more
time on my core business activities.”
The complete QuickBooks and G Suite integration includes:
- Gmail Add-on for Invoicing: Allows
Gmail users and QuickBooks small business customers to generate and
send invoices without ever leaving Gmail.
- Hangouts Chat integration with
QuickBooks: Enables teams to increase collaboration and run
QuickBooks functionalities within the chat window.
- Google Calendar and QuickBooks Online:
Bill My Time with Google Calendar lets business owners schedule
client work and appointments with Google Calendar, then seamlessly
bill hours from QuickBooks.
The Gmail Add-on for Invoicing and Bill My Time with Google
Calendar integrations were showcased during Intuit’s Innovation
Gallery Walk in New York City this week.
