Quick answers

What people ask first

Short answers before the pricing tables and full feature breakdown.

Is Refrens a replacement for JomeInvoice?

Yes, for most SMEs. Refrens creates invoices natively and carries them straight into full accounting, so there's no separate system needed to generate what JomeInvoice submits. JomeInvoice itself doesn't replace an accounting system; it still needs one to create the invoice data in the first place.

Does JomeInvoice create or manage invoices?

No. JomeInvoice is middleware, not an invoicing tool. It validates and submits e-invoices that another system, your ERP, accounting software, or POS, has already created. Refrens creates the invoice natively, with no source system required.

Can JomeInvoice work as a standalone accounting system?

No. JomeInvoice has no general ledger, trial balance, or financial statements of its own, its job ends at LHDN submission, and it needs an existing ERP or accounting system to generate the invoices it submits. Refrens runs invoicing, accounting, and e-invoicing from the same login, with nothing else required.

What's the real difference between Refrens and JomeInvoice?

Both Refrens and JomeInvoice help Malaysian businesses manage LHDN e-Invoicing. The bigger difference is what happens beyond e-Invoicing.

JomeInvoice is primarily an e-Invoice middleware platform. It is designed to connect a business’s existing accounting, ERP, POS, or e-commerce system with LHDN MyInvois for invoice validation, submission, cancellation, tracking, and other e-Invoice workflows. It is not positioned as a replacement for a full accounting system.

Refrens combines invoicing, LHDN e-Invoicing, and accounting in one connected system. Businesses can create invoices, record sales and purchases, manage expenses, reconcile bank transactions, maintain journals and ledgers, track receivables and payables, and generate financial reports such as Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, and Cash Flow statements from the same platform.

The key difference is that JomeInvoice works alongside your existing accounting or business software to add an e-Invoicing layer, while Refrens can manage both e-Invoicing and the underlying accounting workflow itself. For businesses that want invoicing, compliance, bookkeeping, payment tracking, and financial reporting connected in one place, Refrens provides a broader accounting solution without requiring a separate accounting system just to manage the books.

Why Malaysian Business Choose Refrens Over Jomeinvoice

Create invoices, stay LHDN-compliant, and manage your books from one connected platform, instead of pairing a compliance layer with a separate system to do the actual invoicing.
Invoicing and LHDN E-Invoicing in One Connected Software

Refrens creates the invoice and submits it to LHDN's MyInvois from the same document, the moment it's issued. JomeInvoice doesn't create invoices. It's middleware that validates and submits e-invoices your ERP, accounting software, or POS has already generated, so a separate system is still needed before it can do anything.

  • Create, send, and track invoices natively, with no source system required
  • Submit LHDN-compliant e-invoices from the same document, instantly
  • Manage sales, purchases, expenses, receivables, and payables in one place
  • Avoid running two systems: one to create invoices, another to submit them
Online Accounting Software Features - General Ledger
Full Accounting, Not Just a Compliance Layer

Refrens carries every invoice straight into full double-entry accounting: ledgers, bank reconciliation, trial balance, and financial reports. JomeInvoice has no general ledger or accounting module of its own; its job ends once the e-invoice is validated and submitted.

  • Track Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, cash flow, and trial balance from the same invoices
  • Reconcile bank transactions without maintaining separate spreadsheets
  • Keep an audit trail of every change, with user and timestamp
  • Avoid pairing JomeInvoice with a separate accounting system just to close your books
Refrens Sales CRM Assign Leads
From Lead to Invoice Without Switching Software

Accounting doesn't begin only after an invoice is created. Refrens connects the sales activity that happens before invoicing with the financial workflow that follows it. JomeInvoice doesn't create invoices at all, so lead capture, quotations, and CRM sit outside its scope entirely, that groundwork still has to happen somewhere else.

  • Capture leads through forms and manage them inside sales pipelines
  • Convert quotations to invoices instantly, without switching tools
  • Keep customer information connected from enquiry to quotation to invoice
  • Avoid maintaining a CRM, an invoicing tool, and a compliance layer as three separate systems
Keep Stock, Purchases, Sales, and Accounting Connected

For businesses selling physical products, Refrens connects inventory operations with the transactions already flowing through your accounts. JomeInvoice doesn't touch commercial documents like sales orders, purchase orders, or stock movements. It only handles the e-invoice submission step.

  • Track inventory across multiple locations
  • Manage sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, and stock together
  • Track items using batches and serial numbers
  • Keep inventory transactions connected with accounting and e-invoicing, without a separate ERP
Accounting Software - Bank Reconciliation
Works as a Standalone Platform, No Source System Required

Refrens works on its own from day one. JomeInvoice needs an existing ERP, accounting system, or POS to generate the invoices it submits, so it's an additional layer on top of a system a business must already have, with pricing available only on request.

  • Start invoicing and stay LHDN-compliant without integrating a separate ERP
  • Add accounting, inventory, and CRM later without switching platforms
  • Transparent, published pricing, no quote-based sales process required
  • One login for invoicing, accounting, e-invoicing, and inventory

Refrens and JomeInvoice side by side

Two different jobs: one is a business management platform, the other is a compliance layer for the systems you already run.
