What Bil­lo­mat is not

Bil­lo­mat is not accoun­ting soft­ware, nor is it a desk­top pro­gram, i.e. it doesn’t need to be instal­led and set up on a local com­pu­ter. Bil­lo­mat is a bil­ling tool which is exclu­si­vely web/internet-based, and can the­re­fore be used online.

Billomat’s phi­lo­so­phy

First and fore­most our aim is to help our users to con­cen­trate on their real job, and the tedious wri­t­ing out of invoices and quo­tes isn’t usually part of this. We’re well acquain­ted with the dif­fi­cul­ties many trade pro­fes­sio­nals and free­lan­cers have when it comes to crea­ting invoices. Many try their luck with appa­r­ently con­ve­ni­ent accoun­ting pro­grams, but are soon disil­lu­sio­ned and resi­gned to giving up because most of these pro­grams are too com­pli­ca­ted. Bil­lo­mat deli­be­ra­tely does wit­hout most func­tions, its gene­ral prin­ciple being “as little as pos­si­ble, as much as is necessary”. Effi­ci­ency of ope­ra­tion (using Bil­lo­mat) is the key con­side­ra­tion. In con­ti­nuing to deve­lop the soft­ware we don’t worry our heads about which new func­tions we should be adding – we’re much more con­cer­ned about which func­tions our users don’t need in the first place and which would just act as “dead weight” during ope­ra­tion of the program.

And now to Billomat’s core strengths:

The sim­plest rou­tine it offers is the quick and strai­ght­for­ward crea­tion of quo­tes and invoices. An import­ant aspect of this is of course the sim­ple manage­ment of cust­o­mer data and of articles/products. As soon as an invoice has been crea­ted, it can be dis­patched directly by email (with digi­tal signa­ture if requi­red), fax or let­ter. It couldn’t be sim­pler! All data (docu­ments) are then auto­ma­ti­cally stored with the appro­priate cust­o­mer and in this way are always rea­dily avail­able. We call this “prac­tical CRM (Cust­o­mer Rela­ti­onship Manage­ment)”. All infor­ma­tion on the cust­o­mer (in par­ti­cu­lar the customer’s tran­sac­tion history) is avail­able in just a few clicks. In this way the time-consuming search for invoices, quo­tes, tele­phone num­bers, addres­ses etc. beco­mes a thing of the past.
