Great Intuit Third-Party Apps Available

Intuit Marketplace is like a superhighway of applications that can work in conjunction with QuickBooks or QuickBase. QuickBooks is the leading accounting software used by small and medium-sized businesses. QuickBase is online database software that makes it possible to easily and affordably create web database software applications that are tailor-made for your business. By combining the software with other Intuit third-party apps, businesses can share data easily, eliminate duplicate data entry, cut costs, save time, and much more. Intuit Marketplace has numerous quality third party apps to choose from.

Part of the beauty of Intuit Marketplace is that many software applications are available for numerous industry-specific challenges. Not only can you search for an application by industry, you can also search by business function. If you are unsure about making use of the available Intuit third-party apps, demo and trial copies of various software applications are also available.

Differentiating Between Available Apps
One way to quickly determine which apps are popular with businesses is to look at the customer ratings, although some haven’t been rated yet. There are also designations that indicate which apps are thoroughly tested and have proven to be reliable. Gold Developers and Silver Developers have all passed rigorous technical reviews conducted by a third party. To become a Gold Developer, a customer survey must be completed and at least one customer case study must be submitted. Some Gold Developers have been reviewed by ProAdvisor.
