TrueContext™ + QuickBooks® Desktop Integration
Connect your field operations directly to QuickBooks Desktop
Your field teams work in TrueContext. Your accounting and administrative teams work in QuickBooks Desktop. Form Junction connects them with a bidirectional workflow that removes repetitive manual entry.
Keep QuickBooks Desktop. Modernize everything around it.
Bridge the gap between the field and QuickBooks Desktop
Field teams generate critical information every day: work performed, equipment delivered, rental activity, expenses, customer updates, photographs and completed documentation.
When that information must be manually re-entered into QuickBooks Desktop, the digital workflow stops at the office door—costing time and creating opportunities for errors, omissions and delays.
Form Junction connects TrueContext mobile workflows with the QuickBooks Desktop environment your organization already depends on.
How Form Junction connects to QuickBooks Desktop
MobileSurety developed the Form Junction QuickBooks Agent to connect Form Junction with QuickBooks Desktop through the QuickBooks native API. The Agent runs on the same internet-enabled computer or server as QuickBooks Desktop and provides the bridge to Form Junction.
There is no need to replace QuickBooks Desktop simply to modernize field operations. The integration has been tested across numerous QuickBooks Desktop editions and releases.
QuickBooks product family
Supports QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise and Accountant.
Server environments
Supports server-based QuickBooks Desktop environments used by established organizations.
Native API connection
The Form Junction QuickBooks Agent communicates with QuickBooks through its native API.
Built around your process
The connection is configured for your business rules, records, timing and exception handling.
A truly bidirectional workflow
Form Junction can read information from QuickBooks and make it available to a TrueContext mobile process. Information captured or completed in TrueContext can then flow back through Form Junction to create or update the appropriate QuickBooks records.
A field employee can begin with information originating in QuickBooks, complete the work through TrueContext, and return the result to the accounting environment.
QuickBooks Desktop workflows built around your business
Customer and job information
Bring customer and job information from QuickBooks into the mobile workflow so field and office teams work from consistent records.
Work orders and completed work
Supply information required in the field, then route completed work into the appropriate downstream QuickBooks process.
Rental and equipment operations
Connect customer, rental and operational data with the TrueContext workflows used by field personnel.
Expenses and field costs
Move information captured where work occurs into accounting processes without repeated interpretation and re-keying.
Forms, PDFs and images
Preserve completed forms and supporting documentation as part of the business transaction.
Synchronization and exceptions
Configure timing to suit the workflow and manage failures, rejected transactions and retries through the integration process.
High-volume equipment rental workflow
MobileSurety supports an equipment rental customer using Form Junction to connect TrueContext field operations with QuickBooks Desktop. Customer and rental information originates in QuickBooks, moves into the mobile workflow, and returns after the field process is completed to create or update the appropriate records with supporting documentation.
Stop re-entering the same information
Across hundreds or thousands of transactions each month, receiving, reviewing and re-keying field information becomes a significant operational burden. A connected workflow can help:
- Reduce repetitive manual data entry
- Reduce transcription and keying errors
- Accelerate completed-work processing
- Improve consistency between field and accounting information
- Improve operational and administrative visibility
- Preserve supporting documents within the workflow
- Improve record completeness and audit readiness
- Reduce administrative effort as volume grows
The objective is not simply to move data between two applications. It is to remove unnecessary steps from the business process.
QuickBooks Desktop isn’t legacy if your business still depends on it
Many modern integration products focus on QuickBooks Online. Yet field-service, industrial and equipment-rental businesses may have years of accounting practices and operational knowledge built around QuickBooks Desktop.
Replacing a core accounting environment simply to accommodate a new field application may create cost and disruption without corresponding value. MobileSurety takes a practical approach: keep the accounting platform that works and modernize the processes around it.
