Work Suite · Integrations

One system of record, connected at the edges.

You run the operation in Work Suite. Integrations keep everything around it current — the books, your big-box programs, and the systems unique to your operation — so an order entered once never gets re-keyed into anything else.

How we think about it

Work Suite holds the record. Everything else stays in sync.

The operation lives here

Orders, production, inventory, and customers share one data layer inside Work Suite. Integrations carry records out to the systems that need them.

Enter it once

When an order ships, the invoice posts on its own, and when the dock scans a pallet, the counts follow. Nobody enters the same information twice.

Keep what works

Your books stay in your accounting system. Big-box programs stay on their rails. Adopting Work Suite doesn’t mean you have to rip out the systems you already run.

Accounting

Keep your accounting system.

No accounting migration. One unified integration keeps orders, customers, products, and invoices in sync with your books: no manual re-entry.

Accounting platforms

  • QuickBooks
  • Xero
  • NetSuite
  • Sage Intacct
  • Dynamics 365
  • FreshBooks
  • Zoho Books
  • Clear Books
  • FreeAgent
  • Moneybird
  • Wave

Ship it, and it’s billed

Choose which order status triggers billing — when an order reaches that point in its lifecycle, the invoice posts to your books, line items included.

Change it once, it changes everywhere

Items and customers stay matched as the catalog moves: SKU, description, price, and the account behind them.

Watch it sync

Per-field mapping decides exactly what moves, and live monitoring shows every sync as it runs.

Big-box EDI & pay-by-scan

Big-box programs are home turf.

EDI and pay-by-scan are built around big-box programs, not bolted on. Every banner, one order desk, across 36,000+ retail locations served.

  1. 01

    The order lands on the desk

    EDI purchase orders from every banner come into the same order desk. Nobody logs into a retailer portal and types them in again.

  2. 02

    One scan at the dock

    Scanning the pallet as it leaves updates the record, writes the ship list, and bills the order the same day — not at the end of the month.

  3. 03

    Reporting closes the loop

    On-hand and consignment counts flow back to the retail program, and pay-by-scan reconciliation runs against what the stores actually sold.

The open layer

Build your own connections.

Some connections are unique to your operation. The open layer covers them, software and hardware both.

SFTP file drops

A system you work with drops a file on schedule. Work Suite picks it up, maps it, and loads it.

Spreadsheet import

One-time loads for the data you already have: point, match the columns, import.

Done-with-you loads

Bigger one-time moves — like switching systems — run with our team: connection, mapping, and import handled for you.

Coming from another system

Switching is a product, not a project.

GrowPoint and legacy-ERP moves run through a wizard: your customers, items, and orders come across with you, staged around your season.

Asked before switching

The questions that come up most.

Will it work with my accounting?
Yes. One unified integration keeps customers and vendors, items, and invoices in sync with the books, with per-field mapping and live sync monitoring. QuickBooks syncs today, and the same connection covers Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Dynamics 365, FreshBooks, Zoho Books, Clear Books, FreeAgent, Moneybird, and Wave. You run the operation in Work Suite and keep the books where they already live.
Can it handle big-box programs like EDI and pay-by-scan?
Yes. This is home turf. One scan at the dock generates the ship list, the invoice, and the EDI transaction. Scan data flows in from the stores, on-hand and consignment reporting flows back out, and pay-by-scan reconciliation runs against what actually sold.
How does our data get in and out?
Scheduled SFTP imports with per-field mapping, flat-file import for one-time loads, and a productized, done-with-you migration path when you are switching systems. Because every module shares one data layer, a record your team writes once is current everywhere.
What if the system I use is not on this page?
Tell us what it is. The integration layer is unified on purpose, so a new connection lands once and serves every module. In the meantime, flat-file import and SFTP bridge most gaps, and migrations from systems like GrowPoint follow a productized path with field mapping and import history built in.
Works with your stack

Keep your tools. Lose the re-entry.
