CHICAGO - Real Time Freight (RTF) is excited to announce today the addition of platform integration with QuickBooks accounting software.  As of May 1, native integration with the popular Intuit program is now offered to all RTF beta clients, followed by a June release.   “QuickBooks is the most widely-accepted accounting solution for brokers and 3PLs,” Trent Broberg, general manager of RTF, said. “It was simply a matter of identifying that need and responding to customer feedback.”   “For us, it was a logical evolution in what our customers are expecting from their best-in-class TMS partner,” Broberg added.   The integration of QuickBooks is designed to reduce transportation costs by allowing companies to cut duplicate data entry and allocate fewer resources to the accounting process.  By eliminating the need for manual data entry or downloading and uploading data, the integration reduces costly errors for shippers, brokers, 3PLs, and carriers.   “It’s a more coordinated solution,” Alex Minkov, RTF’s QuickBooks project manager, said. “The integration fosters continued business automation, making tasks like freight payments, reconciliation and audits that much more seamless.”
