    As a consulting company specializing in the support of Latitude by Genesys customers, I have first hand experience seeing all of the benefits to my customers of this platform. The ease of powerful interfaces, highly organized GUI based workflows, simple import/export automation as well as a host of integrated vendors makes this the platform of choice for me and my company. Prior to starting my consulting company I was an end user of Latitude by Genesys for 3 years and had the distinct opportunity to work with a top notch implementation team.

    ZipBooks is really strong for small businesses (and non-profits like the ones I help manage). It may not yet be ready to handle medium or large businesses given the deep, niche functionality that is sometimes required in those cases.

    • Invoicing is particularly easy-to-use, quick, clean and beautiful. GREAT for branding.
    • The time tracker was unexpected, but very useful and integrates well with the invoicing. Leads to quick invoicing every time.
    • Customer support is phenomenal -- the support staff is friendly and helpful.
    • Although they are a new company, they are definitely on the right track!
    • I recommend this software to clients, colleagues, and friends alike, mostly for it quick and beautiful invoicing.
    • They do what they can to live up to their name! It doesn't take very long to get set up, or very long to create a complete invoice and send it to the right person.

    • In the past, their support has been slow. This has improved dramatically.
    • They don't take every one of my ideas and pump it into base code IMMEDIATELY!!

    • There is some difficulty with a need to learn the use of the menus, they are not open and click, at the moment, the user needs to open the menu then using the pad keys scroll down and use enter to select from the drop-down menu. A mouse does not work.

    From our perspective, it would be good having a UGC tool integrated with the system.

    They have an excellent support team. It was more helpful if they were available by phone, but your ticket system support works good. The Logmein123 is an outstanding tool that helps us a lot when we need support.

    Base on cost of initial investment, ongoing support and efficient development capabilities (i.e. import/export interfaces, workflows, etc.) this platform is leaps and bounds ahead of all the other major platforms I have worked with. Some of the others I worked with for as many as 12 years before experiencing the power of Latitude.

    I've primarily compared ZipBooks vs. Quickbooks because I've used Quickbooks at larger companies before. ZipBooks was the right fit for a smaller organization because it still had all the core features of Quickbooks but at a dramatically lower price that fits the budget.

    • ZipBooks is entirely affordable, and with my current $15/mo payments, I get ROI pretty quickly.
    • Invoices are simple and easy to make, while staying beautiful and functional at the same time. This saves me TIME, which means that I don't need to spend 15-20 minutes fiddling with the software to make it do what I want it to do. It just works. And that means, I can spend more time doing client work, and managing projects and sales.
