Bob Walsh at 47hats.com has published ‘MicroISV Sites that Sell! – Creating and Marketing your Unique Selling Proposition’, ($19USD) the ultimate ebook for anyone who has suffered the frustration of having built great software that doesn’t sell.

InvoicePlace was fortunate to be one of the companies reviewed in the ebook, but it is more than a series of case studies and includes simple steps to create a powerful and compelling Unique Selling Proposition, transform your marketing and make more sales for your MicroISV.

A special thank you to Spiro and Patricia from Athens Transfers for providing an Invoiceplace testimonial. Athens Transfers provides taxi transfer services to and from Athens International Airport (also known as Eleftherios Venizelos),  Athens suburbs and all of Greece.

Scott Carpenter was extremely professional, offering suggestions and support throughout the whole process of preparing a custom invoice template. Our business provides corporate and leisure ground transportation in Athens and there are details which needed to be included on the invoice not usually required.

Now able to provide our customers with full details of their transfers and the best part Invoiceplace does all the calculations instantly.

We have no hesitation in recommending Scott Carpenter and Invoiceplace for anyone who may require easy invoicing for their business.

There are times when you create an invoice that you are required to send it to more than one person. This would occur when your customer’s billing is handled by an accounts department and you also need to email an invoice to a manager for approval.

Even though Invoiceplace already provides a way to email an electronic invoice to three people (by having ‘To’, ‘Cc’ and Bcc’ address fields) you can now email as many people as you need to.

How to email an invoice to more than one person

1. Login to Invoiceplace, and click on the email image for the invoice, quote or receipt you want to send.

2. Enter multiple email addresses in the ‘To’, ‘Cc’ and/or ‘Bcc’ fields. Use a comma to separate each email address.

3. Update your customer details

You can now enter multiple email addresses in your customer record.

When you an email an invoice the multiple addresses from your customer’s details are automatically displayed. You can change, remove or even add more email addresses if required.

Use Invoiceplace for easy inventory management – keep track of products sold so you will never run out of stock. The Stock on Hand (SOH) is automatically maintained for all of your products, and you can make stock adjustments to change the levels as required.

What does Stock On Hand / SOH mean, and how is it calculated?

The Stock On Hand or SOH is the total number of products that are available for sale, and have not been sold already.

Invoiceplace calculates the SOH as: (Total number of stock adjustments) – (Total number of products sold on invoices)

When an invoice is deleted any products that were on the invoice are added back to inventory. For example if you create an invoice for an professional photography session and include 2 photo albums then the SOH for the photo album is decreased by 2. If you delete this invoice, the SOH for the photo albums is increased by 2.

The SOH is not changed when you create an invoice template or a quote template that uses products in the invoice line items. Similarly creating a quote which has products will not change the SOH.

A stock adjustment will increase or decrease the SOH (see the next paragraph).

What is a stock adjustment?

A stock adjustment updates the number of products that are available. This would be done after receiving a shipment of stock from an external supplier, or when you create/manufacture more stock yourself.

Benefits of inventory management with Invoiceplace

1. Instantly know when you need to re-order more stock.
2. Doesn’t take more time or effort to use – Stock On Hand is automatically adjusted when you create or delete an invoice.
3. Flexible and easy inventory management software – adjust stock levels for any reason in one simple step (i.e. after receiving a shipment from a supplier, during stock take, removing damaged or lost stock).

How to calculate stock on hand and stock adjustments

Adding inventory / stock is done in one simple step, and you don’t need to manually calculate the stock on hand – whenever you create or remove an invoice the SOH is automatically adjusted for you. When you receive a shipment from your supplier follow the instructions below to adjust stock levels.

1. Login to Invoiceplace and click on the Products tab.

The Stock On Hand is displayed for each product. There is no need to manually calculate the stock on hand – this is done automatically.

2. To create a Stock Adjustment click on the link titled ‘New Stock Adjustment’.

Enter the details for the stock adjustment:

Date Received: This is the date when you physically received or added to the stock available. This is not the date that you order more products.
Reference Number: This is the reference number used by the person or business supplying the products to you. This will typically be the invoice number from your supplier.
Product: Choose the existing product for which you need to update the stock levels.
Qty: This is the total number of products that you received or produced for this stock adjustment.
Unit Type: The unit type is automatically set from the product.
Notes: Used to enter any useful comments or extra information about the stock adjustment.

Not only does Invoiceplace provides invoicing software to make your billing fast and professional, now you can take control of your inventory as well!

A big thank you to Peter Becket from Aspects of Feet for providing the following Invoiceplace testimonial :

My wife and I have recently started a new business. I spent many months looking for a simple business accounting package that would create and keep accurate records of our small business. We looked at many of the common ones you hear about every day but they all looked so complicated and expensive and with some you need to attend courses.

I then came across InvoicePlace. The first thing I noticed was how professional it looked. As I went through their tour I was literally amazed at how easy it was compared to anything else I had seen, not to mention the cost, which is negligible.

There were a couple of things I wished to be able to do that were not available at the time of signing up. I mentioned these to Scott, who within days added them to his programme. I honestly felt that he was tailoring his business programme around me. Now that’s what I call service.

Now I have a simple business programme, which will do everything I want and would challenge anyone, not to be able to use it themselves. Thanks Scott ..keep up the good work.
