Building a resilient Farm business is derived from the tools and services that can help Farmers increase sales and save time. Farmers do not have the luxury to only focus on revenue-generating tasks. Streamlining operations with a one-click purchasing system (Barn2Door), sending automated emails to engage Customers regularly (Mailchimp), and leveraging accounting software to ensure your books are in order (QuickBooks Online) are essential to growing and managing a thriving Farm operation.

Computers have become essential as they are used in every aspect of a company’s operations. From marketing, accounting, business automation, employee management, or conducting a quick search on Google or Bing, computers are the #1 tool in any business to generate and manage profits.

We recently sat down with Matt Jacocks, Partner Account Manager of QuickBooks Intuit on the Direct Farm Podcast. Focused on providing solutions that will save Farmers time and enable accurate decision making, Matt touched on 6 ways Farmers can better manage their business with Barn2Door and QuickBooks Online.

At Barn2Door, we constantly ask ourselves what capabilities we can offer Farmers to help them increase sales, access more customers, and save time. One of the most widely used, biggest time-saving tools we’ve built are the One-Click Pick and Pack Lists.

At Barn2Door, we know that a Farmer’s Brand is critical to attracting new customers, driving brand loyalty, and capturing sales. That’s why we offer the software and services to build Farmers’ custom websites that make it easy for visitors to shop from your store. However, one of the most common questions we get asked is why doesn’t Barn2Door build the website before the Farm store?

When you transition your Farm business online and begin to make “real” money paid digitally, then you can expect merchant processors will require a “KYC” audit.

This Spring we were delighted to announce a direct integration with Barn2Door and QuickBooks Online (QBO). We’ve found that Farmers who use Barn2Door to grow their operations and QuickBooks Online to manage their expenses enjoy higher margins and more resilient businesses.

Navigating all the nuanced requirements of Farmers is not straight forward. To help Farmers navigate the challenges of proper accounting, Barn2Door has integrated with QuickBooks Online (QBO) --- the best-in-class small business accounting solution. Together, the integration provides Farmers with GAAP-compliant accounting software that automatically syncs all Farms sales transactions occurring in their online store.

We work with thousands of Farmers across America, and love building useful software for Farmers to manage sales, marketing and logistics. Based on feedback from Farmers, our product and engineering teams build features and tools to make the lives of Farmers easier --- saving them time and helping them achieve consistent sales. For delivery day, Farmers have Pick and Pack lists, and can print invoices, receipts --- and now labels!
