WHY am I switching from TAVE to PIXIFI? Zapier and Wave Accounting Integration - Messy Desk Vlog 6

Why am I switching from Tave to Pixifi?
Tave and Pixifi are two of the best crms for photographers and after using Tave for several years, this one aspect might have made me switch all together, and that is the integration of Zapier for accounting and logging receipts.

I've been using Pixifi for almost 10 year - it's amazing!

[@ScooterRoth]

Thats awesomd

[@Eugeneandheather]

Hopefully, you've been enjoying Pixifi. We've been using it for the last 8 years and it has been amazing!! Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@ScooterRoth]

Thank you for finding me

I see you guys are in jersey?

[@Eugeneandheather]

We're actually based in Nashville. We do film a lot in New York and Jersey. Are you in Jersey?

[@ScooterRoth]

Ahh...yea i saw jersey highway in the intro lol

Yo man great video. You're using that mic wrong though. The Yeti is a "side address" mic, so instead of pointing it right at your mouth, speak into the "side" of it. In cardioid mode, you'd basically be speaking right at the "Blue" logo on the front. You'll likely find this improves the quality of the audio you get from it. God speed...

Hey thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it

None of the all-in-ones that I've found have decent accounting modules. Dubsado, 17Hats, Tave--their accounting modules are afterthoughts. I use 17Hats and for the most part I love it, but their Zapier integration is borked as of this posting.

[@ScooterRoth]

Yea and they are all so close too ...why not just fully integrate one. Tave IS close but the things it lacks are big things :(

[@arkikali5632]

@@ScooterRoth Thanks for telling me that. I'm kind of shopping around right now, but changing and moving all my clients and projects is going to be a colossal pain, so I'm trying to do some research. Tave is a little frustrating (Pixifi too--I'm on their site now thanks to your video) because they don't really show in detail their features. You have to sign up for a trial, and I don't have time to deal with that right now. Anyway, for 17Hats, they're great for project management, but I use a different app for accounting. And I'm frustrated right now because they haven't really had any forward motion on the app in a while. At least not that they've told users about. They may be working on something super awesome, but it's apparently a state secret.

@@arkikali5632 thank you. My experience with 17 hats is a few years old by now but while visually appealing it lacked depth. Pixifi has alot of depth to it and overlaps but they are very responsive and the guy behind it will usually adjust things to customize something just for you which is awesome
