Exports and tools Kintow doesn't connect to

Updated Nov 4, 2026 · 3 min read · For Owners, admins and bookkeepers

What Kintow can swap with distributors, spreadsheets and other software, and what goes by email or CSV instead.

What it is

Settings > Data Sources holds the direct connections: your POS (Toast or Square), scheduling app (7shifts or Homebase), Gmail and your bank. This page covers everything else.

How it works

Large distributors (EDI, a direct electronic link). With distributors like Sysco and GFS, Kintow can send orders and get confirmations, invoices and catalog updates straight from the distributor. It needs your customer number and account number with them, and setup can take several weeks. Until then, Kintow orders through the vendor's website or by email.

Data out. You can export a count as a CSV file from the count itself. For a general ledger export, contact support. A scheduled report can also attach its data as a CSV.

Data in. Ingredients, recipes and count sheets can be loaded from a CSV file through Kintow Agent, or by sending the file to support@kintow.com. Kintow doesn't import from Google Sheets.

Outlook. There's no direct Outlook connection. Forward invoices to receipts@kintow.com instead.

QuickBooks, Xero and Clover. QuickBooks is limited: Kintow only pulls from it. Xero (accounting) and Clover (POS) are supported, and support connects them.

Claude. Kintow connects to Claude on the web, Claude Desktop and Claude Code, so you can ask about your live data.

Switching from another system. Kintow can't log in to your old system. We'll work with you on moving your info over.

What to do with it

Using Sysco or GFS? Contact support early to start EDI.
Invoices go to Outlook or another inbox? See Set up invoice forwarding.
Closing the month? See Month-end close.
On Xero or Clover? Contact support.
Want Claude to read your data? See Connect Kintow to Claude.
Moving from another system? See Switching from another inventory system.

Common questions

Can I export my general ledger from Kintow?+

Yes, through support. Contact support and they'll send it. To export a count, use Export CSV on that count.

Can Kintow connect to large distributors by EDI (Sysco, GFS)?+

Yes. Send support your customer and account number with that distributor. Setup can take weeks; until then, Kintow orders by website or email.

Can Kintow import data from the system I'm switching from?+

Not on its own: Kintow can't log in to your old system. We'll work with you on moving your info over; see Switching from another inventory system.

Can Kintow send data to Google Sheets?+

Not directly. Export a CSV (from a count or a scheduled report) and open it in Sheets; Kintow doesn't import from Sheets either.
