Your customers and suppliers want transparent bills. You want to keep your customers happy, but your business also relies on timely payments. Digital billing can help you achieve both goals.

Digital billing or e-billing allows you to deliver bills (or invoices) and collect payments online. With digital bills, customers and suppliers can easily view their balance including a detailed breakdown of costs and make payments online. In fact, companies that use digital billing systems, like invoicing software from Sage, receive payments sooner than companies that don’t.

Manual billing methods are problematic at best

Companies that don’t use online billing software will struggle to compete. Manual billing systems are inefficient and lead to higher operating costs, which impacts profitability and payment processing. Invoices may include errors that can delay payments and ultimately affect cash flow. Consider this: a 5% decrease in operating costs can have the same result as a 30% increase in sales.

Businesses of every size will benefit from digital billing software.

Whether you run a small company where customer retention is everything or work as a freelancer juggling multiple accounts, digital billing software from Sage can help you improve your business’ productivity while saving you time and money.

Other benefits include:

• More accurate records. So, you’ll have fewer errors when quickly creating invoices and processing payments.
• Increase productivity and save time. Automating routine tasks, such as error checking and monitoring customer credit limits, means you can spend less time worrying about day-to-day transactions and focus instead on growing your business.
• Create and send bills on the go. Our cloud-based digital billing software allows you to access and oversee your finances from anywhere.
• Keep suppliers and customers happy. With digital billing software, you can generate recurring invoices, customise invoices, alert customers when they need to make a payment, and communicate instantly and easily.
• Maximise profit margins. With the right billing and accounting software, you can track revenue, calculate a minimum monthly profit goal, and design business strategies to meet that goal.
• Get paid faster. Automated billing software promptly sends out invoices and monitors them, which helps customers avoid late payments or miss them altogether.
