Ricky the IT contractor
Age: 29
Although he uses a self-billing portal to get paid at work, he still needs to create invoices for his own accountant.
Ricky’s accounts are pretty simple and he only creates one invoice a month. It’s just not worth buying a fancy accounts package
Ricky used to use an old MS Access database and then his excel based invoicing system on his PC, but that requires him to be at home and he wanted more flexibility. He wants to use Envoyce when he is out and about maybe at the coffee shop.
Ricky uses Envoyce, because...
- it’s free.
- it’s simple to use and easy to generate invoices
- he needs to create invoices specifically for his accountant
- he has simple end of year accounts
- he is typically billing the same person each month
- Doesn’t need to worry about handling arrears
Maureen and Bob, the local window fitters
Age: 55 / 58
Maureen and Bob are a husband-and wife business selling and fitting uPVC window to the building trade. Maureen procures the materials and handles the enquiries, and Bob is out in his van fitting the windows.
Maureen handles the accounts side and has an antiquated accounts app, that their accountant specifically use. They don't plan to change the accounts app any time soon.
Maureen and Bob uses Envoyce, because...
- Bob likes that Envoyce is free.
- Maureen creates the draft invoices at their home office & bob activates them when he leaves site.
- Maureen has tried many of the popular account’s packages and they are all too complicated
- Maureen and Bob create (on average) 15-20 invoices a month many with long customer terms in excess of 60 days (dependant on customer).
- Maureen tried to get Bob to use QuickBooks but it just didn’t work out. Bob doesn’t feel very comfortable using IT and Maureen sets up everything for the job beforehand. Bob only needs to check the quantity of the materials used and click Activate & Email. Even Bob can do it.
Lucy the yoga teacher
Age: 32
Lucy runs local yoga sessions at village halls near where she lives. She sells classes by the term and has lots of regular customers.
When she meets a prospective new customer, she usually gives them a free taster session and then asks them to commit to a 12-week course (usually attending once a week).
Lucy needs the ability to manually change the courses before activating her invoices but doesn’t want the faff of setting up lots of products.
Lucy is very keen on saving the planet so printing invoices just isn’t a goer. She wants to email her customers as soon as they are ready.
Lucy uses Envoyce, because...
- Lucy needs flexibility with her invoices and she sends out lots during the quarter.
- Lucy needs to be able to match her bank statements payments and mark them as paid in Envoyce.
- Lucy wants the minimum set of features as her invoices are pretty simple.
- Lucy isn’t really interested in apps or the internet. She uses Facebook and Instagram and that’s it
