Keep Outlook and Acumulus updated automatically.
Today someone reads the message, and after that it still has to land somewhere else before anything happens. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Outlook lands in Acumulus by itself, in the shape Acumulus expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

Common questions
Can you connect Outlook to Acumulus?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Outlook and Acumulus, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Acumulus?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Acumulus?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Acumulus, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
How are the Outlook fields mapped to Acumulus?
You set once which field from Outlook belongs where in Acumulus. After that every new submission lands in the right place automatically.
What does connecting Outlook and Acumulus cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Outlook sync with Acumulus?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What happens to a return or refund in Acumulus?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Acumulus for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.
What if someone fills in the Outlook form twice?
Then it checks by email whether the contact already exists, so you do not create a duplicate in Acumulus.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what Outlook and Acumulus should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
