For years I have tried to find a bridge between my GoldMine Contact Manager software and my QuickBooks accounting software.

I tried the linking software put out by FrontRange and found it to be a miserable experience overall. Slow, limited, and/or not functioning as I would expect it to.

Then I found BestFit Business Manager. What a difference it made. I could match my mature GoldMine system data with my existing QuickBooks data. It did not matter whether I was talking about Customers, Vendors, or Employees.

More importantly for me was the elimination of duplicate data entry when I added a contact in GoldMine; then sold something and having to create a new record in QuickBooks with the same data. What a waste of time!

Now, I just create everything in GoldMine and when the sale is completed; I just export the contact information directly to QuickBooks. The sales related information goes directly in and QuickBooks creates an invoice for me. What a much easier way to do things.

Do you have similar experiences with this bridge of information? Care to share them?
