Benefits of Integrated Accounting Software

Integrated accounting software has many benefits to offer that enable organisations to bring all components of the organisation together to streamline operations and facilitate growth.

There is no doubt that the many benefits of integrated accounting software has made it become one of the most indispensable tools for businesses of all types and sizes.

As a business owner, you would know that as your business expands it becomes increasingly more difficult to manually manage the financial and moving components of your business. If you are running multiple software applications for different functions of your business – such as Accounting, HR/PayRoll, CRM, Inventory Management – you would also know how challenging it can be to streamline the data and flow of information between seperate applications.

This is where integrated accounting software comes in, and has many benefits to offer that enables organisations to bring all components of the business together in order to streamline operations and facilitate growth.

SapphireOne ERP, CRM and Business Accounting software has been designed for this specific purpose – as an all-encompassing integrated accounting solution which includes multiple key modes and functionalities within the one application.

However, before we get into the details of integrated accounting software and its many benefits, let’s start by understanding what integrated accounting software actually is.


What is an integrated accounting system?


As the term suggests, an integrated accounting system is an accounting software that effortlessly combines and connects all major business functions into the one application, without the need for additional plug-ins or manual data manipulation. 

In short, it eliminates the need to maintain separate books and software applications for different functions such as CRM, ERP, PayRoll and HR, Job Costing, Project Management, Inventory Management & more. For example, as all functions are run within the one application, it will automatically transfer the data from your Order Management mode into your Accounting mode, saving time and ensuring that your data is kept up-to-date at all times.


What are the benefits of an integrated accounting software package?


An accounting system can deliver great benefits to any business, however these benefits are amplified with an integrated accounting system, which automatically receives and transfers a constant flow of data across all your business operations.


  1. No More Additional Plug-Ins
    An integrated accounting software eliminates the need for additional and often expensive software or plug-ins to fulfil all your related business requirements, as everything is housed within the one application. This means no more manual data transfer or manipulation, and reduces the risk that the systems will not pass or update the information correctly.

  2. Seamless Transfer of Data
    As all functions are run within the one application, the system will automatically transfer the data between all modes. This not only saves time and effort, but also reduces the chances of any human error. Plus, the system receives a constant flow of data, keeping it up-to-date at all times.

  3. Ensure More Reliable Data Entry
    Standalone accounting software requires you to manually enter your Customer, Vendor, PayRoll and Inventory data from one application to another. Not only is this a timely process, it often results in duplication or incompletion of data, and there is no guarantee of the reliability of data as this process is prone to human error. Implementing an integrated accounting system eliminates the need for any manual data entry and removes all challenges of double or missing entries and reduces chances of human error.

  4. Speed Up Decision Making
    The manual data entry process that is required for standalone accounting systems increases the chance that you will not have the updated financial information needed to make quick and informed decisions. An integrated accounting software means you can easily avoid this issue as it provides you with a real-time view of all transactions as they happen. The information from each module automatically flows into the accounting system as the transactions occur and remains updated at all times.

SapphireOne’s Jack Adams competes at the 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Cortina, Italy.


Jack Adams competes for New Zealand in the Giant Slalom and Slalom at the 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.


Congratulations to SapphireOne sponsored athlete Jack Adams who has just competed in the FIS Alpine World Championships in Cortina, Italy. The event is held every second year and showcases the best alpine athletes from around the world.

In the Giant Slalom Jack placed 32nd in the Qualifying race, just missing out on the finals, and achieved an impressive overall ranking of 50th.

In the Slalom Jack fought hard in Run 1 on a course that challenged the best in the world, with 30% of the field being a ‘Did Not Finish’ (DNF). Jack moved from 71st to 35th after the first run and was ready for Run 2.

In Run 2 he was on track for a top 20 result, and just a few gates from the finish line hit one bump too many and joined the 70% of athletes that had a DNF.



We are all extremely proud of Jack and his efforts at his first World Champs, and look forward to following his progress through the rest of the season. We also thank SnowSports NZ for giving Jack the opportunity to be part of a major event surrounded by the best in the world.

Make Your Life Easier with SapphireOne’s Integrated Document Management

Benefits of Integrated Document Management system of SapphireOne

Some more so than others, but nearly all types of transactions involve paperwork needing to manually be sorted through and filed appropriately. This process is time-consuming and quite frankly, not very exciting for any accounting team member. However, SapphireOne has developed a solution readily available to your company as it offers an ERP software application with an integrated document management.

An ERP framework is a versatile accounting tool that supports the incorporation of different segments of any day-to-day business, ranging from processing of orders to managing inventories and shipments etc. Metaphorically speaking, an ERP software is the ‘Swiss army knife’ of data management. If it is coupled with an integrated document management system, the process of filing any paperwork stemming from various business activities becomes a walk in the park, as the two components work hand in hand to facilitate efficient and effective document management for any organisation or company.

The Benefits of Integrated Document Management

There are five distinct advantages for you and your company related to adopting SapphireOne’s  ERP solution in respect of document management tasks such as sorting, searching and filing:

1. Time- and Labour-Efficient

An ERP system with the capacity for integrated document management allows you to conveniently sort and file large amounts of paperwork created by various transactions electronically with ease. The process also becomes much less labour-intensive, meaning your accounting team can shift their focus on more productive tasks.

2. Fluidity and Departmental Integration

The ERP solution offers the possibility of making your company function like one single beehive, interconnecting it on all fundamental levels and consequently, enabling instantaneous sharing of information between all departments, which leads to a high degree of fluidity that is desirable for any type of business. For instance, the customer service team will not need to contact the accounts department anymore in order to retrieve details on inventory, locations, taxes, customers or any other relevant information. Instead, any department can access all data directly via an ERP dashboard.

3. Privacy and Security

Any integrated management of documents via an ERP software application enables the implementation of a risk-stratified security protocol for accessing sensitive information contained within them. As a result, you can effectively specify and monitor who is able to, as well as who actually accesses, any protected data.

4. Lower Management Expenses

Unlike manual processes of organising, filing, sorting and searching paperwork, electronically managing documents incurs no additional expenditures for printing and storage of such. Further, it also reduces the need of allocating valuable human resources to tasks such as searching and filing of documents, as these can be attended to electronically i.e. in a more efficient manner. A reduction of paper consumption also has the positive outcome of improving the eco-friendliness of your company.

5. Improve Decision-making Process

An ERP compatible with integrated document management enhances your as well as your employees’ decision-making skills. By easing the access to all relevant data and information pertaining to branches such as sales, expenses and general transactions, all possible options and outcomes can be weighed up. Resultingly, the decision-maker can rest assured that the ultimate outcome is based on a foundation of thorough research. It is essentially the accumulation of such critical decisions that determine the fate of a company.

The integrated document management system offered by SapphireOne excels with its capacity of attaching documents to transactions and all major tables. If you would like for your business to be able to take advantage of all the aforementioned benefits, it is as easy as implementing SapphireOne’s world-class ERP, CRM & Business Accounting Software. Please contact us to request a live demo and/or read the testimonials from our long-standing clients.
