How QuickBooks Enterprise Hosting is Beneficial for Contractors

​QuickBooks Enterprise is a key business software that is revolutionizing businesses in the 21st century by providing an avenue for collaborative work and remote access to lots of data. 

QuickBooks Enterprise also meets the specific needs of industries regardless of the size. The QuickBooks Enterprise is a business solution developed to cater to the needs of medium and large enterprises. QuickBooks Enterprise also provides specific tools (outside of the conventional accounting QuickBooks is known for) to make daunting tasks in the construction industry less strenuous. Below are some benefits your construction company will derive from QuickBooks Enterprise hosting.

Remote Working Capacity

​The construction business often requires working extra hours outside office time. Having a remote working tool handy will help you quickly accomplish whatever you need with less stress. When your QuickBooks Enterprise is hosted on the cloud, your employees can also work remotely through any internet-enabled device. This helps your company save time when executing projects with urgent deadlines. Using remote working tools, it becomes easier for both on-site and off-site workers to collaborate on projects. Access to data and job instructions becomes more effective, and monitoring work progress gets relatively easier for supervisors.

Improved Collaboration

The desktop and online versions of QuickBooks Enterprise deliver all the tools you need for your construction business. However, you will be missing out on the collective power that cloud hosting services provide. With a hosted QuickBooks Enterprise account, you and your team can simultaneously work on the same project and track changes that have been made during the process.
​
Hence, hosting your QuickBooks Enterprise on the cloud eliminates the need to wait for a team member to conclude work on a file or project before someone else takes over, without further need for long email chains to get group jobs done. 

Data Security

One of the major concerns of many companies centers on data security and protection. Hosting your QuickBooks Enterprise on the cloud offers you a secure platform where you can grant or deny access to specific persons any time you choose. For instance, you can create multiple admin accounts with different passwords. You may also choose to allow some specific staff to access some data others may not see. Apart from strong security protocols and passwords, every data stored on the QuickBooks Enterprise is securely backed up on cloud servers. This means you can access your data even during natural disasters without any form of data loss.
​
QuickBooks also sends you Data Intrusion Notifications in case someone is trying to breach your data security. There is a Prevention System that completely shields your data from hackers and unauthorized access.

​Integrate 3rd Party Apps

​QuickBooks Enterprise can integrate with some major project management tools you are already using in your construction business. These apps include Timesheets, Google Docs, inventory management tools, and lots more. Integrating these tools on QuickBooks is easy and fast so that you can have all your data in one place. QuickBooks Enterprise plans allow users to choose whether to support a few 3rd party apps or to scale higher to multiple 3rd party apps 

Managed Hosting

​When you install QuickBooks Enterprise locally, you are responsible for the setup and management of the software. However, if you host your QuickBooks Enterprise, your service provider will take charge of all IT-related tasks. Hence, you don't need to spend your time searching for updates or fixing some issues. You only need to contact the support team to help you get the technical stuff done. You also leave hardware maintenance, replacement, and scaling in the care of the service provider.

Keep your business running

​The construction business requires an inflow of new clients as work for other clients is ongoing. Hence, all resources need to be available at all times to be able to meet clients' needs on time. Hosting QuickBooks Enterprise makes sure your business keeps running and that your clients never have to complain of project delays or poor management. With more than 50 customized tools, there is enough on QuickBooks Enterprise to keep your construction business on a good track.

Conclusion

​QuickBooks Enterprise, when hosted on the cloud, offers limitless possibilities for the construction business. Apart from meeting present industry needs, you can scale your QuickBooks Enterprise account to accommodate your business's growth without stress.
