Thanks Grant. It was very nice to meet you and Christina.
I thought it would be nice to clarify how all of our applications work together to make
small businesses and freelancers lives easier.
== Expenses ==
1. Send your paper receipts to http://Shoeboxed.com where they are digitized.
2. http://Outright.com pulls all your digitized receipts from Shoeboxed where we find you deductions
and help you determine your Estimated taxes and end-of-year tax liability.
3. Shoeboxed pushes your receipts that need to be reimbursed by your clients to http://FreshBooks.com.
== Income ==
1. Create and send your invoices with FreshBooks.
2. Outright pulls your invoices and payments from Freshbooks and tracks them as income for your business.
== CRM ==
1. Send your paper business cards to Shoeboxed where they are digitized.
2. BatchBlue imports your digital business cards from Shoeboxed.
3. BatchBlue determines how much money your customers owe you by connecting to FreshBooks.
Hope that helps the readers understand our integration a bit further.

I'm a user of all the products listed below and I'll be very honest, I don't know how I would operate with any one of those! Kudos to All of them for working together to create an awesome solution for freelancers and small business owners!
