Working on a ReadyMade for Business Catalyst -> MYOB Accounting for cash sales, here’s the basic process:

This is in response to requests to automate the entry of ecommerce sales into MYOB, eliminating the need to manually key in each invoice.  It takes about 2-3 minutes for each invoice to be manually entered into MYOB, for companies entering even 20 invoices this can be painful.

We should be ready to test in early October, let us know if you are interested to participate in our beta cycle?

If you are interested in different Business Catalyst or MYOB integrations that we don’t have on our website, then why not suggest them to us and we can do some research and blog about our plans and findings.

Worked on our roadmap for ReadyMade’s for the rest of the year.  So far I’ve got:

1. Salesforce -> Quickbooks (Australia)
2. Business Catalyst -> MYOB
3. Salesforce -> MYOB Retail Manager
4. SugarCRM -> MYOB

If I’m off the mark it would be great to get input.  We’ve put up a text box here to take input from site visitors, no questions asked.

We’re looking at integrating the MYOB Retail Manager product to salesforce.com.   This would be a new ReadyMade solution, providing a pre-built solution that integrates the following:

No date set for development and release, but it’s on our roadmap, we’ll keep you posted.

Something we’re really keen to do is to simplify integration wherever possible.

We’ve been working on several pre-built integration solutions which we have named RIO ReadyMade.

They are pre-packaged integrations that provide for commonly requested integration scenarios.  Our first beta is MYOB to Salesforce with further solutions for MYOB to SugarCRM and MYOB to Really Simple Systems under development.  The first ReadyMade synchronises Account, Contact and Product data between the systems as well as creating MYOB invoices from Opportunities won in Salesforce.

As we identify the need for a low-cost standard integration solution, we’re adding them to our roadmap.

You download the executable, install, configure and you are working, all in less than 15 minutes, all without the need for IT services.  Plus the good thing is that they don’t cost a bomb.

Ping us if you want to know more or try an evaluation.  If our pre-built ReadyMade solutions aren’t an exact fit, no problem we may be able to whip you up a custom solution or if it makes sense, add your requirement to the next release.

MYOB integration continues to be in demand.  So far we have developed 2 solutions, the first involving a Boomi Connector for MYOB, enabling integration from MYOB to just about anything using the Boomi Atomsphere platform.  The second is an open source based “canned” integration solution enabling integration from MYOB to Salesforce.  The pre-built MYOB to Salesforce solution is in direct response to the number of queries we have had about this requirement.  We have also been approached to build several more packaged solutions for MYOB using both mechanisms and we are in the process of reviewing the market potential of building out pre-built solutions from MYOB to those applications.

Our pre-built MYOB to Salesforce solution will enable the synchronisation of Salesforce Accounts/Contacts to MYOB Cards, creation of Invoices in MYOB from Opportunities Won in Salesforce and update of Salesforce opportunities with invoice details from MYOB.

We know that getting the price right is key for the MYOB market, so we are offering an annual subscription as well as a perpetual price for the solution.  We’d like a few more beta clients for our pre-built solution, so if you are interested to test out the MYOB to Salesforce integration, contact us for some more details and we’ll set you up with a trial and when we release the product, we’ll let you have it for free.

We had several clients ask us about MYOB integration. After doing some research we realised why, all the solutions we could find were custom code not true integration. If you are wondering why this isn’t suitable for everyone, you may find our comparison of custom code versus RIO helpful. These clients were interested in synchronising data with several SaaS applications such as Salesforce and @task and they wanted a true integration solution that allowed for flexibility moving forward and didn’t cost a bomb to maintain.

We have built a MYOB connector to address this issue and provide our customers with the ability to connect MYOB with just about any system. Our MYOB integration solution can be implemented in days and is maintained for you, so less hassles if you need to extract or synchronise different data or connect to different systems moving forward.

If you are interested in a trial of our MYOB connector, email rio@wdcigroup.net and we’ll set it up for you.
