Invoicing Software Stack: Never Write Another Invoice Again!

Would you love to never write another invoice again? If you said ‘yes' then you need to sort out your ‘invoicing software stack'…stat!

Everyone likes getting paid (on time), but nobody likes bookkeeping, data entry and time wasted on the administration process of invoicing. It's time-consuming and unfortunately, it can be hard to outsource to someone else if you don't have a proper invoicing procedure in place.

There are so many software programs out there in the marketplace that claim to solve all your problems, by integrating seamlessly with one another. Are these claims true, and if so, which combination (software stack) should you set up?

It depends.

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking software is the solution but really it's the underlying processes that you're trying to automate that is the most important. And the process is going to differ depending on that the problems are and what you're trying to achieve. In short, these are the broad steps you need to take;

  1. Problem
  2. Objective
  3. Process
  4. Solution

So before you start looking for a new software solution it's critical to understand the problems you're trying to solve, your objectives and then the process itself. Once you've done this you'll be ready to start looking for the perfect invoicing software stack.
