Why Connect Kounta to Reckon?

Product and pricing data diverges between Kounta and Reckon, causing order errors and customer complaints

Job scheduling in Kounta and invoicing in Reckon are disconnected, delaying payments for completed work

Customers in Kounta and contacts in Reckon drift out of sync, leading to outdated details on invoices, emails, and reports

Manually copying data between Kounta and Reckon wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Kounta limitations compound the integration challenge: integration ecosystem is smaller than Square or Lightspeed, with fewer third-party apps available for hospitality-specific needs

Site crews rely on Kounta while the office uses Reckon, so neither team sees the full picture until end of day

Reckon adds complexity: the cloud platform (Reckon One) has a smaller third-party integration ecosystem than Xero, limiting connectivity with modern SaaS tools

Guest booking data in Kounta and operations scheduling in Reckon require manual coordination

How We Help

Kounta to Reckon Use Cases

When a customer is created or updated in Kounta, the corresponding contact record in Reckon is automatically created or updated. Contact details, company associations, and custom fields are all mapped.

Auto-generate Reckon invoices from Kounta

When orders are completed in Kounta, an invoice is automatically created in Reckon with the correct contact, line items, GST rates, and payment terms. Eliminates the delay between finishing work and sending the invoice.

Automated error handling and retry for Kounta/Reckon sync

When a sync between Kounta and Reckon fails due to a rate limit, network issue, or validation error, the integration retries automatically with exponential backoff. Your team is alerted only when intervention is genuinely needed.

Scheduled reconciliation between Kounta and Reckon

A daily or weekly reconciliation job compares records across both platforms, flags discrepancies, and generates a mismatch report. Catches sync gaps before they become accounting headaches.
