Invoicera is automated online billing software and small business invoice software that enables businesses to generate Electronic bills/invoices. With user friendly interface, it is an easy to use web based solution for billing related inconvenience.
When it comes to online invoicing and billing, ask any industry expert and the consensus would be online invoicing is the trend for the future. But if some reports and surveys are to be believed then it is just the opposite. While online invoicing and billing is more cost effective and convenient, there are others aspects that need to be considered before accepting online invoicing as a complete billing solution.
Though the amount of time and money that can be saved through sending and receiving online invoice is staggering, its adoption rate is remains relatively low. One wonders whether the customers are as evolved as industry experts believe.
One argument that can be debated is the human factor. Believe it or not humans want to touch, feel and trust what is tangible. When it comes to financial matters, trust is very important. A study conducted by Mail Moment sponsored by the United States Postal Service (USPS) shows that regardless of location or culture, 72 percent of people who live in technology-intensive countries still prefer a paper bill. Customers prefer the printed invoice for several reasons. Some want the invoice so there is a place to directly write billing information and check numbers, while others view the invoice as a reminder to pay the bill. In August 2004 a survey by Forrester Research shows 36 percent of participants said they just liked having a paper statement for their records.
Perhaps the biggest issue centres on the fact that people like and trust the mail. The USPS survey revealed that people actually have a deep, personal attachment to their mail. Fifty-six percent of survey respondents reported that they enjoy receiving mail, and more than 50 percent said that they look forward to discovering what's in their mailbox. Moreover, it appears that the technology revolution has escaped a large majority of this survey's participants, as almost 70 percent indicated mail holds a more personal connection for them than email and the Internet.
