MYOB Not Cutting It? Here’s the Fix.
Sick of the gaps, double handling and manual chaos? Tall Emu plugs the holes MYOB can’t.
MYOB Business (Lite, Pro or AccountRight) is great at what it’s built for – accounting. It pays staff, files BAS, tracks expenses and sends invoices. All good.
But try to run your whole business through it and the cracks start to show.
Let’s be real: MYOB isn’t a CRM. It’s not built to manage leads, track sales, streamline orders or automate follow-ups. That’s where things get messy, manual… and downright frustrating.
Enter Tall Emu CRM. It fills the operational gaps MYOB can’t – and it integrates directly with it. You keep your accounting sorted in MYOB and let Tall Emu run everything else.
Here’s where MYOB falls short – and how Tall Emu fixes it:
1. No CRM = Lost Sales
The problem: MYOB gives you a customer list. That’s it. No sales tracking, no notes, no follow-ups. If your team forgets a lead, that deal’s gone cold.
The fix: Tall Emu is a full CRM. Every lead, quote, task, email and order is tracked and connected – so no one drops the ball, and everyone knows what’s next.
2. No Sales Pipeline
The problem: You’re either quoting or invoicing – there’s no middle ground. Zero pipeline visibility.
The fix: Tall Emu gives you drag-and-drop pipelines, custom stages and forecasting. See what’s hot, what’s stalled and what needs chasing.
3. It’s All Manual
The problem: Follow-ups? In your calendar. Emails? Typed from scratch. Leads? Tracked in a spreadsheet.
The fix: Tall Emu automates it all. Trigger emails, assign tasks, update statuses – automatically. No more admin overload.
4. Orders Are All Over the Place
The problem: Orders come in from websites, emails, phone calls – and get lost or delayed.
The fix: Tall Emu centralises orders from every channel. Track from quote to dispatch, split shipments, generate invoices – all in one flow.
5. Your Customers Can’t Self-Serve
The problem: Clients need to call or email just to reorder, approve quotes, or grab an invoice. Time-waster.
The fix: With Tall Emu’s self-service portal, customers can log in, place orders, check invoices, and more – without bugging your team.
6. MYOB Inventory Isn’t Built to Scale
The problem: Single-location stock. No barcode scanning. No batch or serial tracking.
The fix: Tall Emu gives you serious inventory tools – multi-warehouse, barcode scanning, BOMs, stock takes, landed cost, and more.
7. You’re Entering Everything Twice
The problem: Customer in CRM? Now go enter them in MYOB too. That’s time and risk.
The fix: Tall Emu syncs with MYOB – customers, stock, invoices, payments. Enter it once and it just flows.
8. No Built-In Marketing
The problem: Want to run a promo or email campaign? Time to export a CSV.
The fix: Tall Emu has email marketing and SMS integrated – mass mail-outs, segmentation, drip campaigns, click tracking – all linked to your CRM via Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor.
9. Shipping Is a Pain
The problem: No courier integration means copy-pasting addresses and logging into different systems.
The fix: Tall Emu connects to over 135 freight carriers via MachShip. Quote, book, print labels and track deliveries – all in one click.
10. You Can’t See What’s Happening (Unless It’s Financial)
The problem: MYOB’s reports stop at the dollars. What about open quotes, overdue follow-ups, or conversion rates?
The fix: Tall Emu gives you dashboards that track what actually drives growth – from sales performance to cycle times.
11. No One Remembers Phone Calls
The problem: Who spoke to that customer? What was promised? No idea – MYOB doesn’t track calls.
The fix: Tall Emu integrates with your phone system and uses AI to log and summarise calls.
- Every call is saved to the contact record
- AI creates a summary
- Sentiment is tracked
- Follow-up tasks are auto-created
Sales calls, complaints, support – it’s all captured. No more “What did we say again?”
