Invoicing Software

[gselectrical]

Good evening all.

I am looking at purchasing some sort of invoicing software.

I currently type out an invoice on Word, with my logos etc, as the header & footer. However, having to compile several invoices daily means I spend less time on the tools, which I hate!

Do any of you use invoicing software?

I'm not after anything too complicated. I want to upload my prices for cable, accessories, hourly labour etc and be able to add these easily to an invoice.

As always any help much appreciated.

Cheers

I use sliq invoice software as its really basic and does all you want. Free trial for 30 days I believe and about £25 to buy one off fee. Hth

What's difficult about word?

I have a template with a spreadsheet-like table to enter everything and it then adds up the total.

I find it hard to imagine anything easier. Whatever you use you will still have to do the same amount of typing.

Been using sliq for a few years found it very good and sliq themselves very good.  Makes invoicing quick and easy to keep track of payments.  I just wish they had a app.  Would be really handy to do them on the go and not have to have a windows machine, so im currently setting up on invoice to go, more expensive so not sure if its worth it, my mate has it he has been using if for three years and swears by it.

Been using Sliq for the past year, brilliant piece of software.

I can do my invoices on almost any sort of platform,

dunno about the mess of an OS Bill made when he stole a really good kernel and mucked it up though, but it would probably work on that too,

currently using it on Linux/Ubuntu, Android, Blackberry and that iLemon phone thingie I have(although I think the wife has now claimed that as hers,  :C   )

Word is great don't get me wrong. Its fine when I am preparing invoices that I have already quoted for as there are no materials to add as I have already priced the job. However we do a lot of work for builders that is not on price, and unless I literally itemise every bleeding screw, there’s questions asked. So, in Word I would have to type out every material used, whilst with invoicing software I will have already entered this information into a database and I can just click on the material required. I hope that makes sense.

 

I realise it's not going to be that much quicker, but if it saves me 10 minutes a day, that’s 10 minutes more time I can spend on site.

 

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I use quickbooks online. It works for me.
