Acomba handles general accounting. But before accounting, there's bidding, the jobsite, and CCQ payroll — three areas Acomba doesn't cover. SubmitX handles the whole cycle and exports to your accounting in one click.

Acomba records transactions after the fact. SubmitX generates the bid, manages the jobsite and CCQ payroll upstream — then pushes the real numbers to your accounting.
No accounting software monitors public tenders. SubmitX automatically alerts you to relevant SEAO contracts for your business.
Hourly rates by trade and level, mandatory benefits, monthly declaration — automated in SubmitX, then synced with your accounting.
Acomba is a desktop tool. SubmitX tracks your crews, GPS time tracking and project costs in real time from the jobsite.
No need to migrate everything at once — export your project cost and CCQ payroll data to Acomba in one click until the transition is complete.
Bid → jobsite → payroll → invoicing → accounting, in one platform built for Quebec construction — not a generic accounting module adapted after the fact.
