John, the director of John Gigis & Co pty Ltd., recently answered some questions about his experience transitioning to, and using SuiteFiles.
The File Explorer App is a gem, and the Outlook App saves us so much time.
The problem
Handisoft limited our ability to collaborate on files and didn’t allow us access from anywhere. We needed software that continued to integrate with Xero and helped us take the practice further along our cloud journey, without overcomplicating the solution.
How we solved it
SuiteFiles is simple, easy to use, and can be accessed from anywhere. Whereas we used to have to really search for files, with SuiteFiles we can find files incredibly quickly, and preview them without the need to download anything. We can access all our files right from the File Explorer, which makes access easier for colleagues who aren’t as comfortable with cloud technology. The integration with Xero means we can see all our documents without having to leave XPM, and the templating of documents and emails has saved our practice so much time.
