For businesses starting small, Xero™ is often an ideal solution, offering a range of features designed for simplicity and ease of use. If your company is still in its early stages, Xero might be all you need to stay organized and efficient. But what happens when your business begins to grow? As your company expands—whether it’s opening new locations, diversifying services, or gaining more clients—you need an accounting solution that scales with you.
That’s where Gravity Software comes in. Unlike Xero, which works well for businesses in their early stages, Gravity is designed for the growing, dynamic business. With Gravity, you get more than just the basics—you get a robust multi-entity accounting software solution built on the Microsoft Power Platform that adapts to your business's evolving needs.
The perfect fit for growing businesses
Think of your accounting solution like your favorite pair of stretchy pants. These are the ones that fit comfortably and flexibly, no matter what life throws your way. They adapt to your changing needs, providing room for growth while offering the reliability you need in your daily hustle. On the other hand, when you're ready to take things to the next level, you don’t want to be stuck in the narrow fit of "skinny jeans"—you need room to expand.
If you find that Xero is no longer providing the flexibility or scalability you need, it might be time to consider Gravity Software. Unlike Xero, Gravity is designed with growth in mind—allowing you to handle more complexity, more entities, and more integrations seamlessly.
Xero accounting software vs. Gravity Software
While Xero has been a reliable choice for many businesses, it’s important to understand the differences between Xero and Gravity to see which one can best support your growing company. Let’s compare:
- User-definable dashboards: Gravity offers dashboards that are easy to create, customize, and share. Xero’s reporting is less flexible in terms of customization and usability.
- Editable screen forms: With Gravity, you can set up your screen forms exactly the way you want them, ensuring that every process works for your business. Xero’s options are more rigid in comparison.
- Flexible financial periods: Gravity supports up to 365 periods, allowing businesses to define their financial structure more freely. Xero doesn’t offer this level of flexibility.
- Flexible, Segmented Chart of Accounts: Gravity allows you to define your company's reporting structure with the ability to easily set up departments, profit centers, and divisions. Xero is more limited in this area.
- Dimensional reporting: Gravity makes it easy to track locations, events, machinery, and more through dimensional reporting, giving you the granular insights you need for better decision-making.
- Advanced Find (Slice & Dice Query Tool): Gravity’s advanced search tool allows you to drill down and find exactly what you need—whether it’s financial or operational data—without the hassle of navigating multiple systems.
- Multi-entity capabilities: Gravity’s multi-entity accounting software let you manage self-balancing entities in one database while also sharing master files across entities. Xero lacks this level of integrated multi-entity functionality.
- Multi-location inventory: Track your products across multiple locations with Gravity. This feature is ideal for businesses with inventory across different regions or countries, and it’s something Xero doesn't fully support.
- Integrated CRM: With Gravity, you don’t need a separate CRM system. It integrates seamlessly with Dynamics 365 CRM, saving you time and simplifying your business operations.
- User-definable security roles: With Gravity, you can set up user roles that control access to sensitive data, ensuring that your company’s information is secure and organized.
If your business has outgrown Xero, Gravity Software could be the solution you need. As a robust, scalable accounting software built on the Microsoft Power Platform, Gravity doesn’t just manage your financials—it empowers you with the tools to grow.
