Everyone in the business using one system

Profit4 is designed to be used by teams across your business.

Due to its wide range of integrations, Profit4 will incorporate your web sales, Amazon, eBay, trade counter, telephone sales data and more.

With Profit4's bespoke integrations, you will not need to add any clunky add-ons to your software which will slow down processes and decrease efficiency.

No costly or complicated
month-end procedures

Save time & money

The disruption caused by having to manually close off the month-end is costly, labour-intensive and unnecessary.

With Profit4 there are no complicated month-end procedures, as the month-end is calendar based and retrospectively produced. Therefore you can go back and edit incomings and outgoings.

This gives you better control of your profitability and a more accurate view of your business's financial performance.
