Three reasons Canadian shops choose Rundo
Full two-way QuickBooks Online sync
Rundo has a complete two-way QuickBooks Online integration. Every invoice, payment, and customer record flows automatically with no double entry. Fergus doesn't have this, so you'd be re-keying invoices into your books.
Reporting built for Canadian trade businesses
Fergus reporting is basic and built for the New Zealand market. Rundo gives you revenue dashboards, job costing, and profit per job analytics designed for how Canadian trade businesses actually run.
Canadian dollars, Canadian time zone, Canadian support
Fergus is based in New Zealand. Your bill shows up in NZD with conversion fees, and support is 16 hours ahead. Rundo is priced in CAD with Canadian support that's available when you're working.
