Only with Quandron
Included as standard — what you will not find with several separate subscriptions, or not as a core feature:

Separate subscriptions are usually priced per user, and four of them means every new engineer costs four times. That is the arithmetic that catches firms out at around six people, and it is also why the new apprentice often does not get a login — which is exactly the thing that stops the system working.
Our own UK pricing is not set yet.

Where Quandron is strong
- The joins are the product: quote, job, hours, materials, invoice
- One customer record rather than four that drift apart
- A flat rate per business instead of four per-user bills
- One place to look, which matters most when a customer is on the phone
- Nothing to reconcile at month end
Where several separate subscriptions is strong
- Each tool is usually better at its own job
- You can swap one out without touching the rest
- Already familiar, and already set up
- A specialist tool for a specialist need — F-gas, design, estimating
Who is each one for?
Quandron — Firms that are losing time and money in the joins rather than in any one tool — late invoices, unbilled variations, two versions of the schedule.
several separate subscriptions — Firms with one genuinely specialist need that a general system will not cover, and the appetite to keep the pieces talking.
Common questions
Can I keep my accounting software?
Yes, and most firms should. Quandron takes you to the invoice; the books stay where they are, and the figures go across as a CSV in the Xero import format or as a plain CSV.
What if I need one specialist tool as well?
Then keep it. The argument here is against four overlapping tools, not against the one that does something nothing else does.
How long does moving over take?
Customers and price lists come in from a spreadsheet in an afternoon. Expect a slow fortnight while everyone changes habit.
Moving over is straightforward
Customers and price lists come across from Excel or CSV, and you can start today.

What an individual product in the several separate subscriptions category does will differ; check it against the one you are actually looking at. Nothing here about several separate subscriptions is a statement about a particular vendor.
