Problem
Pivot Accounting’s client, from the construction industry, wanted a solution that was specifically tailored to their industry and was cost-effective. Prior to the migration, the client was locked out of NetSuite and unable to export certain technical data.

Solution
SaaS Direct quickly assessed the situation and suggested migrating the data to QuickBooks Enterprise Contractor Edition, which has a user-friendly interface and is easy to navigate.
Another requirement was to have a cloud-based solution, as QuickBooks Enterprise Contractor Edition is a desktop version. SaaS Direct introduced the company to SaaS Direct’s cloud hosting service, which allows the desktop version to be accessed online by everyone. This worked well, allowing construction teams to access the same data simultaneously from different locations.
To prevent loss of data, SaaS Direct’s data migration specialists and tech support team were able to retrieve the necessary internal links and recreate lost data quickly and without errors, ensuring zero-downtime conversion.
We were Lucky that the guys at SaaS Direct can export all data and had the skill to recreate the linking tables in our Data Conversion Staging Database. Otherwise, the loss of data due to NetSuite disabling our account was going to be Huge.
