Kashflow Accounting Integration

[Confused Sally]

Is there anyone out there who could help me by linking EPOS and possibly Business to Kashflow. "KashFlow has an API. To a programmer that means they can connect any system to KashFlow to automatically read and write information.
So this will allow you, or your friendly local programmer, to integrate any of your own existing systems into KashFlow."

I need to to know (a) if this is feasible (b) cost.
You can contact me directly through my website

Thanks

I looked into this recently for another company, Actinic do a package to allow new payment methods to be added to the Actinic system, the current cost for the development kit is around £4500 and there is a yearly fee of £1000.

Kashflow is not a payment method though - it's an accounting package.
Will the dev kit will help with this?

[Confused Sally]

Kashflow is my accountaing package, currently I have to input all the data from EPOS by keying in - I would like to download all the Z read info as a csv file and then I can import it to Kashflow, or better still some kind of direct transfer of information. I want to reduce the risk of human error due to miskeying, and reduce the time it takes me, to put information into one system that has printed from another, it must be possible! ?

Thanks

Might be a lot easier and cheaper to change to Sage as your accounting system

Or maybe talk to these guys:

Really? My accountant advised me against Sage, saying cloud accounting was way to go. Also is it really that hard to get Epos to produce different types of reports?
I thought generating the information you need in a usable format would be central

Thanks for this, I have emailed them, but they seem to be mainly talking abut integrating websites where as my principlae concern is my EPOS till system. Will let you know what comes

Maybe he is an agent of them and gets a cut, Sage is defiantly not the easiest but is the countries largest accounting software and is quite easy once you get used to it, each new issue seems to get better than the last
