SyncLinx and AccountLinx are compatible with a variety of accounting/payroll applications making your time data entry easier. SyncLinx can view and copy entities (such as employees, locations, cost codes/activities, etc.) from compatible accounting/payroll applications into your ExakTime system to eliminate data entry. AccountLinx allows you to export time data into a preformatted file or import the data directly into compatible accounting/payroll applications, depending on the import method.
We have provided a chart below with applications/systems compatible with AccountLinx, how time data is imported into them, and if SyncLinx is compatible. Keep in mind that some accounting/payroll applications may require additional customization either from your accounting/payroll application (such as non-standard time data modules) or from AccountLinx, as accounting/payroll applications offer customizability/options that we cannot account for.
If you have any questions regarding compatibility, feel free to contact us with the "Request Support" link at the top of the page.

Special Considerations for New Versions
While it is generally agreed to use the latest version of an application to address any possible bugs or add new features, this can result in incompatibility with other applications that have not yet been updated to connect to newer application versions.
Before updating your payroll/accounting application, it may be best to contact us to check if we are compatible with a newer version with the "Request Support" link at the top of the page. Updating your accounting/payroll application before we are compatible can result in not being able to use SyncLinx or AccountLinx with your accounting/payroll application.

Compatibility with Web Hosting Services
If using a hosting service or virtualized computers, such as Right Networks, it would require the installation and setup of SyncLinx/AccountLinx in such a way that allows our applications to connect/communicate with your payroll/accounting software. This is generally done by hosting service support staff, as we would have limited permission/access to their hosting service. We can provide the steps to install and configure SyncLinx/AccountLinx, but we are typically unable to directly assist due to security restrictions.
These hosting services must also install SyncLinx/AccountLinx in such a way that our applications can communicate with the third-party application. For example:
- Direct Connection Applications, such as Quickbooks (Desktop edition), with a direct software connection require SyncLinx and AccountLinx to be installed within the same computer/virtual machine. Think of it like installing both applications on one computer.
- Other applications, such as Sage 100, have a direct connection but allow connections from different virtual machines. Think of it like having the Sage 100 database on a server, while SyncLinx/AccountLinx are installed on your work desktop.
- Other applications, such as Paychex Flex, have no direct connection, and AccountLinx will export a file to be imported into Paychex Flex. In these instances, you will simply need to be able to export or send the file from the hosting service.
