Construction accounting software integration
Bouwflow is not accounting software itself. It connects to the package your accountant uses and sends your sales and purchase invoices there in one click.
What is an accounting software integration in construction?
An accounting software integration links the software you work in every day to the package your accountant uses. In construction a lot of documents pile up: sales invoices, credit notes and purchase invoices from suppliers and subcontractors. Without an integration, someone re-types every one of those into the bookkeeping, which costs time and invites mistakes.
With a connection, your financial documents flow straight from your site software to your accountant. Bouwflow is not accounting software for construction itself, but works with the package your accountant already uses, so nobody has to enter the same figures twice.
What is Bouwflow?
Bouwflow is the all-in-one platform for contractors. In one environment you combine accounting, quotes, time tracking and purchasing, while your teams work on site with the OnSitePro mobile app. You replace scattered spreadsheets and tools with a single system where all your project data comes together. More than a thousand construction professionals already use Bouwflow to run their projects faster and with more oversight.

Connections
Direct connections
Push your invoices over API straight to Exact Online, Yuki, Clearfacts, Billit or others.
UBL export
Does your accountant work with a different package? Then you export in UBL, which just about every accounting program reads.
Pulling customers & cost centres
Bring customers and cost centres from your accounting back into Bouwflow so both sides work off the same data.
How does the accounting integration work in Bouwflow?
Your financial documents are already in Bouwflow. In the accountant module you pick a period and forward your sales and purchase invoices to your accountant in two clicks, without retyping anything.
- Send a whole period of sales and purchase invoices to your accountant at once, instead of one at a time.
- Connect to your accountant's package: Bouwflow works with Billit, Clearfacts, Yuki, Exact Online, Octopus and Odoo, among others, and the list keeps growing.
- Does your accountant use a different package? Export your invoices as PDF and UBL, the format every accounting program reads.
- Import customers and cost centers from your bookkeeping back into Bouwflow, so both systems share the same data.
