Broadly

What do your customers or clients really think of you? If you are like many businesses you really don't know because your online reviews and comments are sporadic at best, and in many cases outdated or non-existent. The Broadly automated review platform helps businesses generate great customer reviews on Google, Facebook, and other review sites.

Online reviews not only help existing customers, but are one of the best ways to earn new business, because a referral in the form of a positive business review makes potential customers comfortable with you, and that leads to more business.

But, did you know that online reviews also help business owners leverage insights to improve their internal operations and focus on being a customer-first organization? The online feedback your customers provide can go a long way at making sure your business is 'the best it can be.'

Thousands of local businesses depend on the Broadly review platform every day, shouldn’t you? Be sure to visit the Broadly Demo Wall at QuickBooks Connect to learn how you can expand your web standing and reviews.

Kindful

Kindful is an integrated, cloud-based software providing fundraising automation, online donation pages, donor CRM, and reporting tools, aimed at helping nonprofits fund-raise effectively. Donors are the 'life blood' of every nonprofit organization, yet nonprofits find themselves competing with other charities for almost every dollar they receive.

The key to overcoming this competition is understanding your potential donors and developing meaningful long-term relationships with not only new, but your current donors as well. Kindful is designed to give you, as a nonprofit, more time to focus on your mission, and less on the hassles of working with multiple individual tools to do the work of seeking donations.

Kindful serves as the hub, the data command-center, of your nonprofit in which all of your third-party fundraising and financial tools seamlessly integrate with your database, keeping all your information in one secure and anywhere accessible place. And, your Kindful data will sync with QuickBooks to ensure that both systems are in full agreement at all times.

Stop by the Kindful Demo Wall at QuickBooks Connect to see how they help your non-profit at the front of the line.

Knowify

Knowify is a game-changing construction management App designed for commercial sub-contractors and residential contractors. Knowify provides powerful job costing, bid and contract management, change order management (with built-in e-signature capture), scheduling, classic and AIA-style invoicing, and more.

Knowify supports both standard invoicing and AIA-style (g702/703) commercial general contractor invoicing. Their AIA-style invoicing tools will allow you to complete in minutes what used to take hours. And, Knowify has one of the most comprehensive integrations with QuickBooks Online, connecting the business side of a construction business with the accounting side.

Head over to the Knowify Demo Wall at QuickBooks Connect to see how you can build a partnership with a solution designed to maximize profitability for your construction clients.

shopVox

shopVox is cloud-based workflow software to help all kinds of shops get the work done on time. It gives you the ability to schedule and manage your shop orders and production so you never miss the ‘promise date’ you gave your customer. It's designed for the small business community that is building and fabricating perhaps hundreds of short-term projects. While QuickBooks Online can account for the costs, revenues and materials, it was never designed to track the work flow of one order after another.

Connected to QBO, shopVox keeps customers and orders organized. It lets you build a custom sales pipeline to help turn leads into paying customers. With shopVox you can create a detailed quote and turn them into a job-in-progress Sales Order and schedule it in your production calendar to meet the promised deadline.

shopVox gives you intelligent job boards to manage your jobs with simple drag-n-drop. When the work is complete, turn your production results into the finished invoice and take payments right inside of shopVox with the optional authorize.net payment feature. Then sync your sales to QBO so you never have double-entry.

If you have small shops in need of something more than QBO, go ‘shopping’ for shopVox at the Demo Wall of QuickBooks Connect.
