Problems faced by the client included:

The team was unable to meet the deadlines regularly
Constant backlog of unfinished work
Traceable and untraceable errors
Challenges in providing accurate financial statements

Client’s expectation from Integra

The client wanted to expand but was hesitant to move further because of a lack of consistent quality in the accounts they delivered. Their requirements were.

Automation software bot that is able to work with Quickbooks online and Quickbooks desktop
Reduction in errors and timely deliverables
Quick implementation of robotic automation
Daily reconciliation of various income streams (doordash, Uber, cash, credit card etc.)
No disruption in the current working environment and IT stack
Daily P/L generation

Our solution to the problem 💡

As a service and solution provider, we understood the volume of daily transactions of the franchise restaurants and the amount of time required to reconcile the various income streams.

Our technical and subject expert teams had few sessions with their accounting team and understood how the process works. We started focusing on those processes which are easy to automate, reduce time and errors.

On the onset we started with one store and we proceeded to interface our automation software bot with Quickbooks online. Within a few days our client started seeing the initial results in the form of drastic reduction in turnaround time.
