  • Bridges doesn’t prevent validations, our customers says that they still have to do double validations.

 

  • The stability of the third party bridge component developed by the accounting system.
    • For example, a one-time upgrade of your accounting software can prevent the file transfer to GEM-CAR.

 

  • Technical limitations from accounting programs bring out constraints not derived from GEM-CAR. Example, some programs doesn’t allow a coexisting name for the same customer, employee or supplier.  In other cases, the phone number field can be limited to 12 digits.

 

  • Necessity for customers to always be up to date with the new versions of their accounting system : with a bridge you need to wait the get the approval from the technical department before update your accounting package. It's common that  third party bridge  isn't ready : release for update don't necessarily follow with their  bridge update.  

 

  • Data transfer is a one way operation, that being from GEM-CAR to your accounting program. This way, transactions added to the program won’t be displayed in the GEM-CAR reports.

 

  • For all of theses reasons  third party bridge is generally great but comes with issues.
