LeGrand CRM Review

Turn your QuickBooks accounting into a QuickBooks CRM solution with LeGrand!

With the release of LeGrand CRM Version 4, the AccountLink interface supports the US, Canadian, UK and Australian editions of Quickbooks 2004 PRO and Premier.

LeGrand provides a simple and effective way to link your CRM data to your Quickbooks PRO and Premier accounting data.

Legrand’s Accounting Link further increases the effectiveness of your office systems by creating a seamless link between Legrand CRM and your Quickbooks system, thus helping to avoid double entries, no more wasted time, and voila – QuickBooks CRM.

With a few simple clicks, your sales people and account managers can access a customer’s outstanding account balances, contact information, credit limits and accounting notes, all from within Legrand CRM’s consolidated information center.

In addition to importing/exporting address & contact details and financial summaries, the optional Accountlink module also provides live access to the invoicing information in your Quickbooks accounting database.
