Billing Software for Businesses in India

Why do businesses need billing software?

Businesses need billing software to manage their business transactions that happen daily. Be it recording invoices, expenses or payments, all these transactions should be recorded somewhere.

Now, the question is why there is a need to record all transactions.

So that the business knows where they sell their products to and when?

How much product did they sell at what rate?

Vice versa, how much are expenses on raw materials, machinery, employee salaries, etc?

So that business owners know how much receivables and payables are pending. What more can they improve? Or What steps should they take to improve the business transactions?

This exact question is answered by billing software. So businesses always need billing software to run their businesses smoothly and efficiently.

Back in the day, these financial transactions used to be manually written on accounting books by professionals called “Accountants”, and this used to be called the “traditional bookkeeping method”. If you are looking for bookkeeping, click here to learn more about Refrens bookkeeping software.

As time passed, businesses shifted from traditional to digital invoicing. Why???

Traditional invoicing used to be very cumbersome as a person had to write it down in a book manually, which caused human errors and calculation mistakes. It is often impossible for one person to record all the transactions, even for businesses with small to medium sizes.

And drawing a report or summary of all these transactions is also tedious.

So most businesses now shifted to digital invoicing as it makes creating invoices and other documents simpler than handwritten documents.

Also, it is not feasible to maintain multiple books for one accounting business. In digital invoicing, all the documents are managed and recorded at one billing software with different dashboards.

So every business must use online billing software for this reason, even if it’s a small business.

How Billing Software Works?

Billing software is not just about creating invoices online; it can make multiple documents in invoicing software. Here is how Refrens billing software works:

It is simple and easy-to-understand software. First, you have to signup and create an account.

As per requirement, you can start creating the documents by clicking on the particular document section from the left sidebar. But here is a quick overview of how it works.

Billing software has mainly two parts.

  • Receivables
  • Payables

First, starting with account receivables.

Under account receivable, all those documents are created that help to generate revenue for the company by selling the product or service. It has quotations, proforma invoices, delivery challan, invoices, and payment receipts and accepts payments online.

A typical business first generates multiple leads using the inbound or outbound lead method. Once the leads started to flow, they assigned those leads to their salesperson.

Now a salesperson's job is to educate the customer regarding the product or service they are offering. Now that the salesperson thinks this lead will get closed, they offer the pricing of the company's product.

And how is the pricing offered? By sending a quotation to the potential customer. Your salesperson creates a quotation for that particular product and sends it to the customer.

Now if the customer agrees to the price of your product, it is believed that the client has accepted the quotation. Now from here, you send a proforma invoice asking for the advance payment to fulfill the requirement. And Also proforma invoice also works as an order confirmation document.

Once the client pays advance payment, it becomes the business's responsibility to deliver the product at the same price within the delivery period. Many businesses also use delivery challan to deliver the product.

The product is delivered to the client, and an invoice is sent asking for the rest of the payment. The client pays the pending amount, and to record the transaction of that payment, a payment receipt is created and sent to the client, stating yes, the business has received the payment.

Here, now an accounts receivable cycle is complete. The business has generated revenue and recorded all the necessary transactions by creating the relevant documents from the quotation, proforma invoice, delivery challan, invoice, and payment receipt.

Now let's talk about accounts payable.

Under accounts payable, businesses record all the expenses incurred at the time of business transactions. For instance, purchasing raw materials, daily expenses, office expenses, rent, etc.

These documents include purchase orders, expenses, and debit notes.

Create Proforma Invoice

A proforma invoice is a document created for the buyer showing the commitment to deliver the product or service at an estimated price. Many vendors accept advance payment from their clients by sending them the proforma invoice.

A proforma invoice is created before the final invoice is sent to the client. Therefore, consider it as a confirmation document for the client as well. Once the client gives confirmation, you can dispatch the product or service along with the final invoice.

Refrens proforma invoice offers you to convert proforma invoice to invoice so that you don’t need to create the invoice from scratch. Here the proforma invoice and invoice get linked with each other. To create a proforma invoice you can use Refrens proforma invoice format.

Create Quotation

A quotation is the first document in the business you send to your potential customer, and as you know, the first impression is the last. So creating an attractive and converting quotation is necessary if you want to convert the client.

Create professional quotations and send them to the clients instantly. Once approved, you can easily change the quotation status to Won, Lost, or Rejected. This way, you learn how to improve your product or service pricing range or need any discounts.

Create Debit Note

In this situation, you can easily create a debit note against the invoice and send it to your vendor. Both debit and credit notes can be used for filing taxes.

Manage Your Clients

Easy to manage your clients under client management. Add multiple custom fields and as much data as you want. Upload bulk client data, and you can export the client information simultaneously.

Manage Leads

Choosing the Right Invoice Software

No matter what type of business you are into, whether you work alone as a solopreneur or freelancer or as an agency, small business, or large enterprise, there are some factors you always need to consider when deciding on buying online invoicing software.

Here are some of the factors you can look into when choosing the Right invoicing software; there can be more depending on your business needs, but these are the basic factors every invoice software must follow. So starting with the first one:

Features and Functionality - First, if the invoicing software does not have the features or the functionality you are looking for, you must not even consider researching it—the invoicing requirements change from business to business and the type of business. For instance, businesses that sell services or online courses do not need an inventory system or proforma invoice but a proper proposal or quotation document. And there are some features every invoicing software must have, like customization, invoice templates, recurring invoice, reminders, and reporting. Consider your specific requirements and ensure the software can accommodate them.

Ease of Use - Billing software must have an easy user interface so that it becomes easy to create, edit, delete, or duplicate invoices without any prior technical knowledge. You should feel intuitive in navigating from one dashboard to another with a clean and organized section that enhances the system's usability.

Scalability - With the growth of your business and team members, will the invoice software can handle the increased invoicing volume? The increased number of clients, invoices, and transactions always set the seal of performance issues.

Security and Data Protection - Businesses deal with very sensitive and confidential financial data. So the billing software must have proper backups, access controls and data protection. Always look for software that has industry-standard security and data protection regulations.

Mobile Accessibility - If you need o invoice on the go, you must consider the software offering mobile apps or mobile responsive software. It helps you to create invoices, track payments, and view reports from anywhere at any time.

Customer Support - Always go for the purchase of billing software that offers extensive customer support. When you are facing any issue, you can contact support to resolve it as soon as possible. The support team must always be available on live support, by email, or over the phone.

Pricing - The price should be affordable and should be under your budget. There is no point in giving a chunk of money for the features you will never use. Some software charges per invoice, some charge per month irrespective of the invoice you create, while others charge only a one-time fee. Also, consider the additional user to add under the business, customization, integration etc.

You can read reviews and get recommendations from other businesses in your industry or size range by reading reviews and ratings. See what customers think about the software's reliability, ease of use, customer support, and overall satisfaction. You can check out other review sites for review and feedback on the invoicing software you are willing to buy.

For small businesses, Refrens offer accounting software for small business.
