TimeLinx Accounting Platform (TAP)

This bi-directional interface makes it easy to pass all financial data -- revenues and expenses between TimeLinx and the accounting/ERP system of choice (based on Connector availability or custom Connector).  Similar information can be passed back to TimeLinx including invoice numbers and dates, amounts and expense information to be available to Project Managers and staff. 

The TimeLinx Accounting Platform (TAP) acts as a staging area, employing an interface and logic for the finance department to query, edit, approve, and output data to the chosen accounting system.  Data is output via a specific TimeLinx TAP Connector.  The TAP Connector performs the mappings and processing necessary for each unique ERP system.  TAP Connectors are available for Sage CRM and Sage SalesLogix as shown in the table below. The TAP Connector system also allows a company to change to a new accounting system without replacing the entire Platform.
