I love my gadgets. I really do. So when we started talking about making a connector that would allow Xora users to integrate with Method and of course QuickBooks, I was pretty pumped.

Haven’t heard of Xora before? Well, Xora is an alien creature from a distant plant named…..just kidding! Okay, all jokes aside, if you haven’t heard of Xora yet, it’s time you did.

Xora is a mobile workforce management solution used by more than 8000 companies. So how does Xora help you to track and manage your workers?

You can see exactly where your workers are, in real-time and what they are up to.
Workers can easily enter their time through their phone devices, and guess what? They can’t change the times they enter in, so you know it will be accurate.
Xora helps your company to be more “green” by eliminating paperwork since all time and job entries can be entered into the phone. We like “green”.

So how does the Method Xora Connector fit in? The Method Team is all about making applications that seamlessly work with QuickBooks and solve your business needs. The Method Xora Connector does just that!

The Method Xora Connector is a bridge that connects QuickBooks with Xora for the purpose of sending start & stop times from Xora to the QuickBooks Timesheet. With this Method Xora Connector bridge, Xora Jobs and Users are paired with QuickBooks Customer:Jobs and Employees/Subcontractors. All job and shift times entered into Xora are then pulled into the Method Xora Connector, which in turn posts them to QuickBooks for payroll and/or billable time.

So how much does it cost? If you’re already a Method Full Blown Edition user, it’s free! Just go to your “My Account” tab in your Method account and add the app.

Not a Method user? The Method Xora Connector subscription is just $20.00 per month with an initial setup fee of $75.00. The setup fee includes a 30 – 45 minute installation and training session with a connector guru. To sign-up for the Method Xora Connector, click the link below.

Method App Library – Now Open

I’ve never been one to spend time at the library. No offence to anyone who does that for their past-time. The library I’m about to talk about, I can handle. I am thrilled to announce that the much anticipated launch of the Method App Library is finally here. So why is this so exciting? Well you’ll have to read on to find out of course.

Picture the Method App Library being……well, a library, filled with specialized, industry-specific apps that are created by our team and 3rd Party Developers. The idea is that eventually there will be an app that meets the fundamental needs of nearly every major market segment, all under one roof. No need to go looking anywhere else when your business needs change or grow. See now you know why I was so excited to tell you about this.

The Method Application Library is broken into 2 core areas:

Base Method Editions

Includes the Method Starter, Method CRM and Method Full Blown Edition. Future editions to be released, in no specific order are:

Method Agriculture
Method Automotive
Method Construction
Method Education
Method Field Services
Method Healthcare
Method Manufacturing
Method Non-Profit
Method Professional Services
Method Property Management
Method Real Estate
Method Retail
Method Software Business
Method Studios
Method Wholesale/Distribution

Specialized Apps

These are industry apps that are tailored to very specialized needs. These apps will be made up primarily of 3rd party developer apps. You can choose to add 1 of these apps or several of these apps to your account and use them in conjunction with your existing apps.

The “Learn More” link on each app provides a detailed overview of the app including pricing information. You can also read up on reviews and ratings from current and previous users and contact get information for the developer. Soon you’ll be able to see screen shots for each app, plus view movies to help make your decision a little easier.

Worried about it being complicated to install an app? Don’t be. If you’ve ever talked to an iPhone user, you’ll know that installing an app is as easy as visiting the App Store and after hitting “Install”, the new app is installed. I have an iPhone and have several non-computer-literate friends who own them and they all did it the first time.

Clicking the “My Account” link in your Method Account will bring you to a page similar to what you see in the Method App Library. Simply click the “add this app now!” button and that’s it. Your app is now installed. Just as easy as installing your iPhone app, told you not to worry.

Stay tuned to our blog for news on new apps being released shortly!
