For Dealerships in the UAE, Accounting has always been a frustrating process. Many dealers often find themselves getting caught up performing accounting tasks instead of doing their primary role of selling cars.
Accounting is never going to be a dealerships favourite task, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be frustrating. There are tools available for Motor Dealers in the UAE that streamline the accounting process and reduce costs.
To streamline the accounting process, Motor Dealers in the UAE need to integrate their accounting software with their Dealer Management Software.
What is Integrated Accounting?
Integrated Accounting is the combining of your accounting system with another. By Integrating your Accounting software with your dealer management software, financial information automatically syncs from the program of entry directly to the other integrated program without the need of any duplicate data entry.
What are the benefits of Integrated Accounting?
1. Removes Duplicate Data Entry Tasks
Duplicate data entry has always been a frustrating task. What makes Data entry tasks so problematic for businesses is it’s time-consuming and carries a high risk of error. One of the biggest benefits of Integrating your accounting software with your dealer management software is you completely remove the tedious task of duplicate data entry.
Integrated Accounting syncs data two ways from program to program, which means any inputted financial data will automatically transfer from the program of entry, directly to your other integrated software once entered – This process can happen by first entering date in either software. With data automatically copying from program to program, your team and your accountant will never need to perform duplicate data entry tasks again.

2. Reduces the risk of Error
Performing duplicate data entry tasks carries a high risk of error. In accounting, making even the smallest mistake can cause major problems that may take hours to fix. Another benefit of integrating your accounting software with your dealer management software is you significantly reduce the risk of making an error.
As data instantly transfers from the program of entry directly to the other program, your team won’t need to perform any data entry tasks, thus limiting the chances of making a mistake. The less data entry tasks your team need to perform, the less likely you are of making a costly mistake.

To maximise growth, dealers need to have instant access to real-time financial information.

Dealers can access financial information through their dealer management software without having to wait for an update from their accountant.
