Really Simple Systems Launches Integration With Kashflow

Largest UK vendors of hosted CRM and Accounting systems partner to bring integrated CRM and Accounting

23-Mar-2010

Really Simple Systems and KashFlow, respectively the largest UK vendors of hosted CRM and accounting systems, today announce a product and marketing partnership to offer integrated CRM and Accounts to SMEs in the UK. Both products are now linked in real-time to provide users with an integrated marketing, sales and accounting system.

Via the integrated solution, sales personnel are now able to immediately and securely view customers' accounting data without leaving the CRM system, and can generate quotes and invoices into their accounting system without re-keying data. For complete visibility of a customer's account users are able to select a link in Really Simple Systems that brings up the detailed account information within the KashFlow system.

Users of the CRM system are now able to view data such as, the balance on a customer's account, the date of the last invoice, the total sales value and the overdue balance. New customers can also be added to KashFlow from the CRM system at the click of a button.

Duane Jackson, Managing Director of KashFlow, comments, "The ability to generate accounting transactions within the CRM system eliminates re-typing errors and speeds up the issuing of invoices and ultimately cash collection. By clicking straight through to KashFlow from Really Simple Systems, sales personnel will be able to resolve account issues in a more timely fashion, providing better customer service."

Green Diesel Direct, www.greendieseldirect.co.uk, is an early adopter of the combined solution from Really Simple Systems and KashFlow. Finance Director, Richard Noble, comments, "Turning closed opportunities seamlessly into invoices is now a much faster and more robust process. We can lock down the sales once they are in KashFlow and it greatly improves data integrity."

Commenting on the marketing partnership, John Paterson, CEO, Really Simple Systems, says, "Both Really Simple Systems and KashFlow will be promoting the partnership to our respective user bases, so we expect many customers to pick up the other's product, especially as there will be no charge to either existing or new users for the integration module."

Paterson concludes, "It's a great opportunity for both companies to expand and an ideal time for our clients to take advantage of a service they may not have previously considered.
