With AccountLinx, you can export your employees' time data from ExakTime Connect into a compatible file for Maxwell Systems StreetSmarts. As Maxwell was acquired by Viewpoint and discontinued StreetSmarts, this resource is kept for reference for anyone still using StreetSmarts, but this does not guarantee that AccountLinx will continue to work with American Contractor in the future.

If you have any questions or concerns during setup and/or use, you can contact us with the "Request Support" link at the top of the page and we will try to assist as best as possible. Keep in mind, however, that we are not Maxwell support. We will try to help you as much as we can, but there are aspects of Maxwell that are out of our area of expertise.
