A Review of

Traverse
By J. Carlton Collins, CPA

What Makes Traverse Different?

When reviewing any accounting software solution, I think that it is important to understand how the product is different from its’ competitors. All products are developed with different tools, different philosophies, and with different objectives in mind. All products are targeted towards different sized customers, and different industries. When evaluating products, it is easy to get bogged down in the overwhelming complexity of the systems. The reality is that all accounting systems have a general ledger with account numbers and financial reports; they all have an average accounts payable module that works fine; they all have a bevy of standard features. Studying these common elements of an accounting system will get you nowhere. It is the key differences that provide keen insights that will allow you to effectively identify and select the right product for your needs. With this spirit in mind, presented below are the key characteristics that set Traverse apart from its competitors:  

  • Speed -
  • SIFT
  • Reliable –  
  • Customization - .
  • Audit Trail – 
  • High Reseller Standards – 
  • Reseller Fees
  • Positive Customer Feedback – .
  • Protected Territories – 
  • Two Database Options – .
  • Granular Pricing – .
  • Foreign Language and Foreign Currency – 

Weaknesses - Traverse is certainly not without problems – as with any top product, Traverse contains weaknesses, missing features, missing modules and shortcomings. Traverse is not targeted towards businesses of every size, nor is it ideally suited for every industry. We have compiled a detailed list of these weaknesses on our Feature Comparison Reports.
