Earlier this year when Invoicera was first launched, we all were skeptical about it being a successful venture. Amid all the stiff competition that existed in the sphere of online invoicing and billing, we knew it would be difficult to make a mark. The proposition was probable but not impossible. Though the road ahead was going to be tough, the journey still needed to be kick-started. We took the first step by launching the beta version of ‘Invoicera 7.0’. A Sedate response is all we had expected. But we were proved wrong and ironically our web application had received an overwhelming response.

Even more encouraging was all our users pouring in their feedback and suggestions. This was the pillar of strength as it laid the firm foundation for our online invoicing application to flourish. The platform was set and we were heading towards the right roadmap. Since Invoicera’s inception in January, we can now boast of some achievements to our credential. There is no looking back and we have decided to take the long road ahead.

That’s right folks, the new Invoicera will be made available from next month for all to see, use, break(!) and enjoy. This will be available with a completely new design, color scheme, interface and more importantly features. You can be rest assured of an application that would look rich, elegant, simple and powerful. The new release will be incredibly robust, scalable and reliable of not just taking our application to the next level but online billing as a whole.

But I want to still shout out and say thanks for all your support.

They say, there is a moment of epiphany for everyone. What made us exercise the Multiple Currency Support feature in our application is a comment of a pensive client in a forum. He expressed his worried views of how he has clients spreading from North to South Pole, some dealing in Dollars, some in Pounds, some in Rupees and some in Yen.

We have already observed that there are many people with their businesses in Asia but dealing with clients over the Internet spreading across the globe. But coming back to the comment that I read while searching over the Internet, was a little disturbing. He mentioned that his base currency was Pounds while he had clients in North America and Europe. This made invoicing all the more difficult as he was required to set up multiple accounts with different base currencies. It was indeed a disturbing discovery, seeing clients perturbed and irked about not being able to fully harness the benefits of an application which is solely made to mitigate people’s invoicing and billing problems.

This made us reminiscent to our conviction to offer a completely user-friendly application. So here is your Invoicera, which will support all major currencies from across the continents with real time currency conversion. But here’s a catch, our multiple currency feature will allow you to change the currency client wise. This means, if you have ten clients in ten different countries then you will be able to send invoices to each client in their country specific currency. Thereby, allowing you to track your invoices more efficiently and effortlessly.

So experience the benefits of globalization of trade with Invoicera, till the time they discover a universal currency ;-) Happy Invoicing J

P.S – This feature will be applicable from next month onwards.

My last few posts might have given you a fair bit of indication that we are really working hard on our product.  We have been up and running tirelessly day in and day out to deliver what we had promised. This is not one of my usual posts where I will be familiarizing you with the latest developments and updates from Invoicera. This is something bigger, better and motivational.

It is my privilege to announce that Invoicera has 5000 registered users to date. This achievement becomes a landmark considering the fact that it has been achieved in just over two months. The magnitude of success will be under-achieved without mentioning the contribution of our users. They have been the real pillars of strength for us and have only added value by reporting issues that required attention. Their suggestions and feedback are most valuable in achieving this milestone.

I would also like to apprise all our readers and users that we have worked meticulously in preparing the pricing package and each package will add value to your business proposition. A complete list of packages and their pricing will be soon available on our website. This is not it, Invoicera’s basic package will start from as low as $1 (free package will continue as well!)

It is said that all good things come in small packages and I believe this is a welcome news for all our existing as well as potential users. I hope these proclamations will give as much sense of delight and pleasure to you as it has given to us.
