How Ply + QuickBooks works
Three steps to a connected inventory and accounting system.
Connect
Link your QuickBooks Online account in one click. Ply maps your chart of accounts, vendors, and items automatically — no spreadsheet imports needed.
Sync
Purchase orders in Ply sync to QuickBooks as bills. New vendors, items, and cost updates flow both ways. Your books stay current without double entry.
Auto-reconcile
When a PO is received, Ply matches it to the bill in QuickBooks. Expenses reconcile automatically. Your bookkeeper sees clean, accurate data every month.
What QuickBooks can't do for inventory
QuickBooks handles the money. Ply handles the materials.
No truck stock tracking
QuickBooks tracks inventory by location — but not by truck. You can't see what's on Tech 4's van or auto-replenish when he's running low.
No purchase order workflow
QuickBooks POs are basic documents. No approval workflows, no multi-supplier bidding, no vendor chat, no RFQ conversion.
No field requests
Techs can't request materials through QuickBooks. They text, call, or wait — and materials get lost in translation.
No barcode scanning
QuickBooks has no built-in barcode scanning for inventory counts, truck loading, or job-site consumption.
No FSM integration
QuickBooks doesn't connect to ServiceTitan, Jobber, or Housecall Pro. Job costs and material usage live in separate systems.
No AI-powered purchasing
No smart supplier matching, no voice-created POs, no automated bidding. Every order is manual.
What Ply adds on top of QuickBooks
Keep QuickBooks for accounting. Add Ply for everything else.
Full PO Management
Create POs with AI, manual entry, or voice. Approval workflows, multi-supplier bidding, and vendor chat. POs sync to QuickBooks as bills.
Truck Stock Tracking
Track every item on every truck. Par-level replenishment, barcode scan loading, and per-job consumption logging.
Mobile Field Tools
Techs request materials via app, SMS, or voice. Requests auto-convert to POs or pick lists.
Barcode Scanning
Phone camera, Bluetooth, and USB scanning. Cycle counts, truck loading, and inventory adjustments — all with a scan.
FSM Integrations
Two-way sync with ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Housecall Pro. Material costs flow to jobs automatically.
Warehouse Management
Organize by aisle, bay, level, and bin. Cycle counts, pick lists, and real-time stock levels across all locations.
