Demandforce Delivers Integration With Intuit QuickBooks
Automates Marketing and Communications for Small Businesses
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Take Intuit's best-selling small business financial management software.
Combine it with Demandforce's leading online marketing and communication
service. The result: an opportunity for 4 million QuickBooks®
users to better engage with customers, drive higher retention and grow
their businesses.
Just six months after Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) acquired Demandforce,
the two companies have integrated their flagship products to create a
comprehensive marketing and customer communications tool that taps into
the power of QuickBooks data. The new service will offer small
businesses a seamless way to market their companies like never before.
"We were impressed by Demandforce's next-generation,
software-as-a-service offering that provides high-value to small
businesses," said Kiran Patel, executive vice president and general
manager of Intuit's Small Business Group. "Integrating Demandforce with
QuickBooks is a natural progression for the business and a real win for
our customers."
By using the Intuit Partner Platform, Demandforce automatically pulls
key customer and transaction data from QuickBooks. This access to
customer information lets small businesses target and customize their
outreach efforts. After transactions are completed and an invoice has
been created, Demandforce automatically sends a "thank you" email to
capture consumer reviews and satisfaction survey data.
"Our vision has always been to help small business thrive in an Internet
economy," said Rick Berry, president of Demandforce. "Intuit Partner
Platform has enabled us to quickly provide an integrated solution which
is even more rewarding now that we are under one roof. This is not only
beneficial for QuickBooks users, but more importantly to our current
user base, as it further exposes them to more consumers in the
Demandforce Network."
By connecting with QuickBooks, users can be up and running on
Demandforce in one day, without having to enter any data. The powerful
software has generated $3 billion in client revenues for customers and
prompted 2.4 million consumer reviews. There are also 37 million
consumers connected to the Demandforce Network that helps increase a
small business' exposure.
