How to Consolidate 6–10 Business Tools into One Platform

"You're paying 6 vendors to do what one platform handles. Here's the consolidation playbook."

You're paying 6 vendors to do what one platform handles. Accounting, CRM, payroll, inventory, project management, analytics — each with a separate login, separate data, and a separate invoice. Here's the consolidation playbook.

Step 1: Audit Your Current Stack

List every business tool you're paying for and what it does:

  • Accounting — Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks (monthly cost: $)
  • CRM — HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive (monthly cost: $)
  • Payroll — Deputy, Employment Hero, KeyPay (monthly cost: $)
  • Project management — Asana, Monday, ClickUp (monthly cost: $)
  • Inventory — DEAR, TradeGecko, Cin7 (monthly cost: $)
  • Other — document management, reporting, scheduling (monthly cost: $)
  • Total all costs → this is your current stack cost

Step 2: Map Each Tool to XIntelliSync

XIntelliSync replaces or consolidates these categories:

  • Accounting → built-in (invoicing, expenses, BAS, P&L, bank reconciliation)
  • CRM → built-in (leads, deals, pipelines, contacts, campaigns)
  • Payroll → built-in (STP Phase 2, super, leave, timesheets)
  • Inventory → built-in (stock tracking, purchase orders, suppliers)
  • Projects → built-in (tasks, time tracking, resource allocation)
  • Reporting → built-in (dashboards, KPIs, financial reports, AI agents)

Step 3: Migrate Data Tool by Tool

For each tool you're replacing:

  • Export data as CSV or connect via OAuth (where supported)
  • Import into XIntelliSync using the Data Import Wizard or direct integration
  • Verify data integrity — check record counts and totals
  • Run both in parallel for a transition period
  • Cancel the old subscription once you're confident

Common Questions

What tools does XIntelliSync replace?

XIntelliSync can replace your accounting software (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce Essentials), payroll (Deputy, Employment Hero), project management (Asana, Monday), inventory (DEAR, TradeGecko), and reporting tools — consolidating 6-10 subscriptions into one.

How much can I save by consolidating?

The average Australian SMB spends $400-$600/month on separate SaaS tools. XIntelliSync starts at $97/month for Starter — the consolidation saving depends on which tools you're currently paying for.
