For the retail business owner, the end of the day should be a time to breathe a sigh of relief, not dread the paperwork. But for thousands of retailers using Retail Management Hero (RMH) and QuickBooks together, the closing process is a tedious task of exporting sales reports from the POS system, formatting them in Excel, and then re-entering them into the accounting system. It doesn’t have to be this way. Are you tired of wasting hours reconciling your sales data? It’s time to look at automation. In this article, we’re looking at the nightmare of manual reconciliation and how the x2x RMH for QuickBooks Integration can make the process seamless.
The Hidden Costs of Manual Reconciliation
But before we dive into the solution, let’s look at the problem. Why is manual reconciliation such a time-consuming process?
Human Error: Let’s face it, when you start entering numbers from one system to another, typos are a huge problem. One misplaced decimal can cause you a world of hurt when it’s time to do your taxes.
Time Management: Your time is money or at least your accountant’s time is money. How many hours could you spend growing your business, optimizing your inventory, and delivering top-notch customer support instead of entering numbers in QuickBooks?
Lack of Real-Time Visibility: Are you only syncing your QuickBooks once a week? Once a month? You’ll never know your current cash flow if you’re always operating in the past.
The Bridge Between Your Store and Your Books
Retail Management Hero (RMH) is great for front-end management of your store’s sales, and customer relationships. QuickBooks is the gold standard for back-end accounting systems. They are both incredibly powerful tools, but they don’t natively speak each other’s language fluently.
Enter x2x RMH for QuickBooks Integration, your universal translator, fitting comfortably between your two most important applications. It’s the bridge between your front-end and back-end systems, allowing your data to flow freely and correctly between your store and your books.
How x2x Makes Reconciliation “Made Easy”
The purpose of the integration between x2x and RMH is to make the “export/import” grind a thing of the past. Here’s how x2x makes your life easier:
1. Automated Sales Posting
No more printing out Z-tapes and typing in sales figures. x2x does the work for you by automatically importing sales figures from your RMH and posting them into your QuickBooks. This includes sales totals, taxes collected, and methods of payment (cash, credit, gift cards). It does this all on its own based on the schedule you set daily, weekly, or in real-time.
2. Precise Tax Tracking
Sales tax compliance is a huge headache for retailers. x2x tracks sales by tax jurisdictions and posts the figures accurately into the appropriate tax liability accounts in your QuickBooks. No more digging through receipts when tax time rolls around your figures are already done and accurate.
3. Payment Reconciliation
The most difficult part of the bookkeeping process is reconciling credit card settlements. With x2x, the payment tenders in RMH are mapped to the deposit accounts in QuickBooks. This is very easy to do, ensuring that every penny is accounted for.
The Result: Peace of Mind

If you’re currently using RMH and QuickBooks, then you’re currently wasting time and money if you’re not integrating these two applications. x2x RMH for QuickBooks is not a luxury; it’s a necessity if you’re a busy retailer.
