Accounting is an essential part of any business. eCommerce businesses usually opt for accounting software that can accurately handle a large volume of data instead of hiring an expensive account team. Accounting software like FreshBooks gives a better financial overview of the business. It records all business transactions, revenue, expenses and cash flow. FreshBooks aims at optimizing your business and increase profits.

But eCommerce businesses use several other apps and tools for handling different processes and teams. Thus, companies need to tally the data from FreshBooks and other apps such as customer support platforms, websites, payment gateways, and CRMs. It will give them leverage to accurate reports and informed decision-making. As a result, online sellers’ resort to a cloud data pipeline for effective data consolidation, thorough data analysis and faster reporting of multiple data silos.
