Poppy’s virtual feathers seemed to ruffle with pleasure as Ernesto’s attention lingered on her. She smiled seductively, her coded charm accentuating her allure.

Poppy: “Oh, Ernesto, you’re too kind! Perhaps you could help me display a KPI for all contracts awaiting approval?”
Ernesto’s eyes sparkled at the thought of working closely with Poppy. Sue, however, felt a growing sense of unease.

Sue: “Ernesto, aren’t we forgetting our own projects? We have a lot of files to export without getting distracted by… feather-like activities.”
Poppy: “Oh, Sue dear, don’t be such a killjoy! There’s room for everyone in this digital world, right, Ernesto?” said Poppy, her open contracts glowing red in Ernesto’s code.

Sue felt her frustration and anger growing. Would she just stand by and let Poppy take over their dynamic duo? No, she had to show her worth. While Ernesto and Poppy continued their flirtatious conversation, Sue began working on improving the synchronization for Poppy’s contracts. She knew that if she could show her exceptional skills, Ernesto couldn’t help but be impressed. Sue worked quickly and efficiently. When she finished, she couldn’t help but feel proud.

Sue: “Ernesto, Poppy, I’ve just improved the synchronization for your contracts, Poppy. Now you can get a more accurate view of all your open contracts, making it easier to create a cool KPI!” Ernesto turned to Sue, his eyes filled with newfound respect and admiration.
Ernesto: “Sue, this is fantastic! With this improvement, we can really take our projects to the next level.”

Poppy couldn’t hide her surprise and maybe even a hint of jealousy. Sue had proven she was not just a side character in their trio, but a force to be reckoned with…

But, every tale has its twist.
One day, Sue and Ernesto stumbled upon unfamiliar code. They had never seen it before, but it was, excuse the expression, damn well-written. Ernesto gasped, and Sue looked up to see what had caught his attention.

A Parrot?
“Hello, I’m Poppy!” she chimed in. “Nice code you’ve got there.”

Sue and Ernesto exchanged glances, curious about this unexpected encounter. Poppy seemed to have a talent for elegance in her coding, something that both Sue’s precision and Ernesto’s versatility found fascinating.

Ernesto: “Well, hello there, Poppy! I’m Ernesto, and this is Sue. We were just… uh, admiring your code. It seems like you’re really good at recurring billing?”
Sue: “Yes, your code is quite impressive,” said Sue, somewhat grumpy over Ernesto’s silly flattery.
Poppy: “Oh, thank you! I’m a master at recurring invoicing. I keep track of what users need to invoice, when they should be invoicing next, and can do some heavy calculation.”
Ernesto perked up. “Well, then maybe we could try diving into each other’s code, because then you could handle recurring invoicing for all my users simultaneously? Like, 127 companies in a snap?”

And so, the tale of Sue, Ernesto, and Poppy began, marking the start of a new adventure in the world of apps. Little did they know that their trio would soon become legendary.

After several successful collaborations, Sue and Ernesto decided to go on a real “digital date”.

Ernesto took Sue on a virtual road trip through the most exciting features, such as “Calculate Depreciation” in like 127 company simultaneously. Sue was impressed by Ernesto’s versatilityand how he could handle so many tasks at once.

Sue: “I didn’t know that tax transactions could be fetched for all companies at once and be so thrilling!”
Ernesto: “And I didn’t know that external systems could be so charming.”

Sue showed Ernesto how to sync all records while they were visiting all his companies. She could also easily make extra fields on customer cards mandatory so no user missed important information. Ernesto was impressed by Sue’s precision and how she could turn even the most complicated tasks into a breeze. Their digital date became an incredible experience of exploring each other’s unique traits and how they could complement each other perfectly.

Sue: “Oops, sorry! I must have pressed the wrong button.”
Ernesto: “No problem, it was a pleasant surprise! I’m Ernesto, the coolest multi-company app in the world. Who are you?”
Sue: “I’m Sue, the queen of organization apps. Nice to meet you, Ernesto!”

Their first interaction was brief, but the spark had ignited. Users soon noticed how Ernesto and Sue complemented each other.
Ernesto could only export files to Sharepoint, while Sue knew exactly how to use FTP or other communication methods.

Sue and Ernesto began to spend more and more time in each other’s code, leading to more and more experiences for users who now began to understand what these apps could do together. Ernesto struggled to receive data and make sense of it, but with Sue’s help, integrations were no longer a problem.

Once upon a time, in a world of apps and algorithms, there were two unique applications named Sue and Ernesto. Sue was a lively and colorful app, with the ability to keep all the chores of everyday life together. She organized, structured, and made life easier for all her users.

Ernesto, on the other hand, was an adventurous app, full of surprises and news. He was  always updated, always ready to share the latest and most exciting information with his users. Ernesto was beloved by many and always the one to gather friends and get them to do things together.

One day, while Sue was busy synchronizing some vendors list, and Ernesto had just completed his friends payment journals, their codes accidentally crossed paths. It was as if lightning had struck in the world of code – suddenly, there was a moment of magic.
