Connex felt like “turning on a switch”
Jon frequently says that his team was looking and doing research every day trying to find the solution that just felt right and checked all the boxes. When he spoke with Joe, the CEO and Founder of Sync with Connex, he immediately knew that First Scout had a “developmental arm” with the support side there and the implementation of our automation solution; Connex was the switch they were looking for.
We love Connex because it’s very hands-off. Matching deposits is a huge feature, and being able to do this properly is amazing! Financial visibility is incredibly important for us as a small business and being able to see this in real-time is a bonus. We plan on using Connex for years to come while we grow our business!
