If your company has outgrown an entry level accounting application like QuickBooks, your choices are limited. Do you jump up to an enterprise software with a high cost and often difficult to use feature set? Do you look for a product that targets growing small to medium sized businesses? The list of options narrows very quickly down to one product that is truly optimized for the SMB space: Gravity Software® (Gravity).
Now, this is about more than just capturing a market and filling a niche. Gravity handedly fills the gap between Dynamics 365 Business Financials , Dynamics GP, Sage Intacct and other large scale enterprise applications, and entry level applications like QuickBooks and Xero. Some applications are just too intricate with too many high-end features that the average SMB user will never utilize. At the other end, most entry level applications are simply unable to keep pace and accommodate the increasing needs of growing businesses.
Enter Gravity: Gravity’s whole premise and foundation is to navigate between flooding the user with too many unnecessary features and overwhelming details, and leaving the user void of sufficient features and capacity to run their business. We’re taking a cue from Goldilocks, who recognized that one bed option was too hard, another too soft, while a third, somewhere in the middle, was just right.
Upon closer examination to see how Gravity stacks up against Dynamics 365 Business Financials (D365BF) and QuickBooks, Gravity is clearly the most accommodating and flexible of the bunch. With Gravity, you’ll enjoy all of the following in one database and on one platform:
-
An Unlimited Number of Users
-
Multi-Entity with Consolidations
-
Advanced Financial Reporting w/ a Flexible Chart of Accounts
-
User Definable Dashboards
-
User Definable Workflows
-
User Editable Forms
-
Multi-Location Inventory Tracking Capability
-
Advanced Inventory Costing
-
Advanced Find, Slice & Dice Tool
While Gravity can offer all of the above, neither D365BF or QuickBooks can offer can offer these features that help a growing organization. While QuickBooks simply doesn’t have the platform to accommodate these features, D365BF is based on the Microsoft NAV enterprise platform with many of the crucial features that SMBs need removed to make it more of a DIY application. Unfortunately, the D365BF application has been simplified on the surface so it looks easy to use, but is still a difficult to use enterprise system under the hood.
If you’re just beginning your search for a viable accounting application, or if you’ve been looking for a while and you’re still on the fence, take a closer look at a side by side comparison to see how your business can effectively harness the power of Gravity Software. If you’re on QuickBooks Enterprise, and considering D365BF, you’re really not getting more features. It’s more of a lateral move.
But if your business needs more features, security and functionality, consider upgrading to Gravity. Gravity’s goal is to fill the gap between entry level accounting software and expensive enterprise applications. Gravity is a robust mid-market accounting software written on the Microsoft Power Platform (aka Dynamics 365 CRM). Financials and CRM are fully integrated in the cloud.
