Additional TendTech Connect Features

GL Code Validation

Catches mapping errors before they hit your books.

Full Audit Log

Every transaction traceable to its journal entry in QBO.

Historical Data Sync

Backfill prior periods cleanly during onboarding.

Fully Automated

Runs on your schedule with no manual triggers.

Flexible Locations

One-to-one or one-to-many QBO mappings.

Sales Transactions

Every sale, fully accounted for.

TendTech Connect collects sales activity from Cova throughout the day and posts a complete accounting entry to QuickBooks automatically after close of day. Sales, COGS, and inventory are broken down by category, and taxes and payments flow through to the right accounts in QuickBooks, all without any manual exports.

  • Sales posted by category
  • COGS by category, from real product cost
  • Inventory adjustments by category
  • Taxes and payments posted to the right accounts
  • Posts automatically nightly after close of day
Purchase Orders & Bills

Purchase Orders that flow straight through to your books.

When a PO is created or received in Cova, whether manually entered, imported, or generated from a manifest, TendTech Connect creates a matching Purchase Order in QuickBooks. When that PO is received in Cova, we convert it into a Bill, exactly the way your bookkeeper would.

  • PO created in Cova creates a PO in QBO
  • PO received in Cova creates a Bill in QBO and closes the PO cleanly
  • Standard accounting workflow your bookkeeper already knows
Multi-Store Operators

Inventory transfers tracked across every location.

Moving product between your stores? TendTech Connect detects every transfer in Cova and posts the corresponding entry in QuickBooks, keeping inventory valuations accurate per location without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

  • Detects transfers automatically as they happen in Cova
  • Updates inventory balances for both origin and destination
  • Works with single-QBO or multi-QBO setups
Built-In Auditing

Every sync is traceable. Every entry is accountable.

If anything ever looks off, you don’t have to guess where it came from. TendTech Connect logs every transaction it processes and links it directly to the resulting journal entries in QuickBooks, so you can trace a number back to its source in seconds.

  • Full transaction history visible in your TendTech Connect dashboard
  • Direct links from sync events to QBO journal entries
  • Search, filter, and export
Flexible Setup

Multi-location? We work the way your books do.

Every operator structures their books differently. TendTech Connect supports both common multi-location setups: keep each store in its own QBO instance, or consolidate everything into one using QuickBooks Locations.

  • One QBO per location for full separation
  • Many locations in one QBO using QBO’s native Locations
  • Mix and match: group some, separate others

Consolidated setup requires QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What data syncs to QuickBooks Online?
Vendors, sales transactions (with sales, taxes, COGS, and inventory broken out by category), payments and clearing accounts, inventory adjustments, transfers between locations, and purchase orders that flow through to bills on receipt. See the full breakdown in the sync section above.
Do you sync data out of QuickBooks into Cova?
No. TendTech Connect only writes from Cova into QuickBooks. Nothing flows the other way, so your QuickBooks data stays exactly as you and your bookkeeper manage it.
How often do you sync data?
Sales data syncs once per day at a time you choose. We recommend after close of business during non-operating hours. Purchase orders sync in real time as they’re created or received in Cova.
Can I select which sync features are active?
Yes. You have full control over which sync features are enabled or disabled at any time, so you can roll things out at your own pace.
Is TendTech Connect a certified QuickBooks partner?
Yes. We’re a certified Intuit partner and a certified Cova partner, and you can find TendTech Connect in the QuickBooks app store.
Which version of QuickBooks do you support?
TendTech Connect supports QuickBooks Online. Consolidated multi-location setups require QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced because they rely on QBO’s native Locations functionality.
How long does setup take?
Most customers are live within minutes of connecting their accounts. Our team helps you validate the initial sync before going live, and onboarding is included in your plan.
Can you backfill historical data?
Yes. Whether you’re migrating from another integration or starting fresh in QuickBooks, we can backfill historical transactions cleanly into your QBO instance.
Does TendTech Connect change anything in my chart of accounts?
We work within your existing chart of accounts and standard QuickBooks structures, keeping your books tidy and easy to reconcile. Your bookkeeper continues working with QuickBooks the way they always have.
Can I give my bookkeeper access to TendTech Connect?
Yes. TendTech Connect is designed to be set-it-and-forget-it, but you can easily invite your bookkeeper or accountant and grant them access to assist you whenever needed.
I’m an accountant. Can I use this with my clients?
Yes. You can set up TendTech Connect for your own use with your clients. They never have to be in the system, and you can manage multiple clients all from a single pane of glass.
How do you protect my data?
All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest within our system, so only you have access to it.
Can I see exactly which Cova transaction created which QBO entry?
Yes. Every sync event in TendTech Connect links directly to the resulting journal entry, bill, or PO in QuickBooks. If something ever looks off, you can trace it back in seconds.
What happens if a sync fails?
Every sync attempt is logged in your TendTech Connect dashboard. Failures are flagged with the reason, and you can retry, investigate, or contact support directly from the sync log.
How is QuickBooks integration priced?
QuickBooks Online is included in the Advanced plan. You can find pricing here.
