Fast, accurate, and extremely scalable
The most valuable feature is that it is a cloud-based system so I can access it from anywhere, with any browser, on any device. It's the only major accounting ERP system on the market that was designed specifically for the cloud, the other ones were adapted to the cloud. Intacct was always designed with the cloud in mind, and it shows. Additionally, its multi-entity design is elegant, intuitive, and easy to master. Transacting and reporting across all entities from a single log-in is fantastic The user interface is sleek and consistent throughout the software, enabling users to adapt quickly and to work efficiently. The financial report writer is comprehensive and designed to enhance the user experience. I eliminated all of my Excel-based financial reports. The sub-ledgers are well designed and provide the user with tools and functions that improve efficiency.
Muhammad Shehzad - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides easy navigation to individual transaction levels and good stability
The warehouse management system requires further improvement. Right now, there is no built-in application for using barcodes or QR codes by the warehouse or operational teams. Customers often rely on third-party add-ons for such features. There should be a mobile-based handheld application, especially for the warehouse team or the operational team, to use barcode-based or QR-based scanning. In additional features, it would be great if the mobile application supported barcode and QR code usage. If this feature is available, it would be very useful.
