New Release Notes

• New Account Sync
  • The new Brokerware accounting sync has finally been completed after many months of in-depth work. This sync resolves many of the headaches that you run up against in your day-to-day operations. Some of the primary sync errors are due to mismatched customers, carriers, AR invoices, and AP Invoices. Furthermore, it also previously required our team to log into your system to reinstall the sync tool anytime there was a change. This tool solves those issues and many more. Below you will find some of the new features included:
    • Features:
      • Customer Reconciliation:
        • This feature will automatically compare all of your customers within Brokerware vs all of your customers within your accounting system all at once. This will prevent current and future errors after your team have gone through the process of reviewing and mapping the data all at once.
      • Carrier Reconciliation:
        • This feature will automatically compare all of your carriers within Brokerware vs all of your carriers within your accounting system all at once. This will prevent current and future errors after your team have gone through the process of reviewing and mapping the data all at once.
      • AR Reconciliation:
        • This feature will compare all of your AR invoices within Brokerware vs all your AR invoices within your accounting system pointing out potential errors and things that may need your eyes to review.
      • AP Reconciliation:
        • This feature will compare all of your AP invoices within Brokerware vs all of your AP invoices within your accounting system pointing out potential errors and things that may need your eyes to review.
