Greenlight CM™ has the ability to connect directly to your accounting system and can pull over vendor, job, contract and contact data. External queries are used to connect with your accounting software's database and through it, will import and automatically refresh accounting data information. This eliminates the need for duplicate entry and keeps the software in sync with the accounting system.
Greenlight CM™ is bridged through Sage Paperless Construction to your accounting system.
