Three reasons Canadian shops choose Rundo
QuickBooks integration that actually works both ways
Workiz has a QuickBooks connection, but it's limited. Invoices push over but payments and customer updates often don't sync back. Rundo has a full two-way QuickBooks sync. Invoices, payments, and customer records stay in sync automatically.
You shouldn't be paying in USD for no reason
Workiz is a US company with US pricing. If you're a Canadian trade business, you're paying currency conversion fees and your bill fluctuates with the exchange rate. Rundo is priced in CAD. Your bill is the same every month.
Automated follow-ups included, not extra
Rundo sends automatic satisfaction checks, review requests, and referral asks after every job. Workiz doesn't have this built in. These follow-ups are how you turn one job into five without doing any extra work.
