Well by this time you must be complaining about me writing preachy posts. But believe me, this is no different. Ok! Might be less preachy, but I would like you to know how we are managing to sail our ship towards a wider horizon and would love to have you on board with us.

In the past three months we have gone through some significant changes that required desired attention. We have restructured our team, streamlined processes that required too much administration effort, and focused on developing ‘out of the box thinking’ to provide an impetus to our marketing and PR efforts. Needless to say, all this was done in pursuit of delivering a quality product.

We are committed to producing a product that is world-class and helps every business and professional make a difference. Of course, this endeavour is meaningless without constant evolution. Though we have not revolutionized the ‘Online Invoicing’ concept (I believe sending invoices online is in itself a revolutionary concept) but our constant upgrades, improvements and innovations simply add value to our application.

To confront you with our latest round of updates and weekly activities, I would like to bring to your notice the following changes. Sure, these are very minor modifications but as I mentioned it is these nitty-gritty that add value and make a difference.

• Customize e-mail content – From now on you will be able to send notification e-mails with your own content and message.

• Import address book – You will have the option to upload your contact list which was not possible earlier.

• User Interface – We are working hard to improve the interface and make it more user friendly (might take some time so I request you all to just hold on a little longer)

• Steps manual to be included – A brief manual will be included to familiarize all the users of the basic steps that need to be implemented.

If there is anything you would want us to integrate/change in the application, then do leave your feedback on the bottom right of the website.

As we move further in the development stages of Invoicera, we are ecstatic to inform you about the progress that we have made in the past week. To date we have spend countless hours framing the core objectives of the overall product release and working on the micro aspects of each module.

Though there is still a level of sophistication and slight complication in the application, our recent efforts have been directed towards making our online invoicing application as simple as ever for our customers. This would be evident from the below mentioned activities that have been performed lately.

I would like to bring to your notice the most recent developments in Invoicera. To start with, we have included signature option for all e-mail notifications that your clients will receive. So, now you can customize your e-mail signature and give a more personalized touch.
One foremost change that we have brought about is to make DNS title/Subdomain editable. From now on your client will have the option to edit the subdomain which is originally created by you. This has been specifically done due to the fact that many clients prefer to have a subdomain as per their own convenience rather than accepting the way someone else wants them to.

One major bug that was recently reported by one of our user has been fixed. We were reported that the ‘Reminder Mail’ for unpaid invoices was received by the client frequently. We know this can annoy any client and hence has now been taken care of.  Another small modification has been done in the invoices and estimates search pattern. Now you will be able to search invoices and estimates on the basis of their status.

In my next post I will be briefing about the upcoming features that will enhance the usability of the application. So stay tuned and do help us improve our product by posting comments or feedback.

We have been busy beavers working assiduously on improving and upgrading Invoicera 7.0. And I can tell you, the development is heading in the right direction and the results will be soon visible (rather they have already started to show). To have a roadmap laid down did give us a sense of direction, and I am glad we are striking out our activities with the desired pace.

Vindicating a statement is always desirable and I will begin by stating that this week around we will be concentrating on bug fixing, which is of course a daily mandate. Apart from this, we are working on incorporating some of the important features like time tracking, expense tracking, multiple currency support and enhanced application interface & design. Working on these aspects would mean that we are on track, providing you with the quickest, cleanest and most intuitive online invoicing and billing application.

Of lately, some of the activities performed by our team of developers include website optimization to increase the speed of the application, inclusion of importing products and services list from the system (earlier you could to do it manually only), enhancement in the invoice template and reports format- presentation of both invoices and reports now looks clean. Some of the new currencies have also been added like South African Rand and Czech Koruna. This week’s module would also include removing redundancies that exist in the application.

We aim to rise above our own benchmark standards and march confidently with Invoicera flag high, as we know the finish line is far from near.

After having learned from Wikipedia that 66% Internet users have suffered from data loss, the idea of including ‘Reports Back-up’ came home to us. An Invoicing application without this feature sounded too imperfect, and then we took our equipment and worked on a new feature in our IT lab!

You will be happily surprised to know that now no accidental or technical loss can prove to be irretrievable. Be it the client’s who are prime on your invoicing lists, detailed payment tracking or invoices sent and received – get all the reports on your desktop!

Though we already offer data back up feature, the purpose of ‘Reports Back-up’ feature is completely different. It doesn’t only allow you to view the reports (that then wouldn’t have been a promising enhancement) but also lets you share the reports with your accountants, book-keepers, clients and users by exporting them in the Excel sheet! So next time when you want to measure your financial statistics, you can get the detailed figures instantaneously. The reports section will give you a Birdseye view of those clients from whom maximum payment has been received, which product or service has generated maximum revenue for your organization, etc.

We believe that after integrating this feature, our product has become more viable plus safe & secure. Just save the reports (generated in Excel sheets) and say goodbye to data loss worries forever. It’s your payment tracking application, and you need to be diligent about all its related activities. So with our newly-incorporated ‘Reports Back-up’ feature, say ‘Adieu unforeseen loss!’
