The Salesforce – Sage Intacct integration has been pre-built within Salesforce and is supported by Sage Intacct.

The implementation process is incredibly simple: point, click, connect. It really is that easy. And future upgrades and enhancements of your Sage Intacct software are then seamless, so you don’t have to worry about time consuming updates.

This allows you to focus on your business rather than maintaining the integration, while saving you time and money, with no requirement or expense on third-party integrations, IT support or custom consultancy.

Reporting

Sage Intacct offers in-depth reporting capabilities which are enhanced even further with the integration with Salesforce, giving you access to multi-dimensional reports which are connected and updated in real-time with Salesforce’s CRM. This gives you instant access to real-time, in-depth reports which capture all of your data from both systems, right in the Sage Intacct dashboard – no need to switch between platforms.
