Simply Invoices

By far the most popular request was that I add fixed price line items to invoices. This is now available. Here’s an example invoice:

Please send any and all feedback to me via email, campfire or the support tab.

What’s next? Integration with getmorehoney.com. My original plan was always to add support for importing time from other time tracking apps. I’m excited to finally be doing that. Expect updates on that within a couple weeks.

Simply Invoices is still set to launch next Tuesday. One of the things I just completed is the ‘tour’ page. This page shows off all the essential screens in Simply Invoices. I’ve placed a smaller version of the tour in this post. Enjoy!

1) Create a template

Invoice templates describe essentials to get started. This includes the client’s name and address, invoice number format and your hourly rate. Templates also describe what Basecamp project and person to get time entries from.

2) Create an invoice

Once your template is set, creating an invoice is a simple matter of telling Simply Invoices the start and end dates.

3) Preview and edit your invoice

Make any last minute changes to the data imported from basecamp. Everything is editable except the total hours and total price. Those fields are calculated from the data in the invoice.

4) Download the PDF

Simply Invoices can generate PDF invoices for you to send to your clients.

5) Quickly see recent invoices

View your most recent invoices in the dashboard. Easily download, edit or delete your invoices from the dashboard. Marking invoices as paid allows you to easily see what’s outstanding.

Today I started the Simply Invoices semi-private beta. If you’d like access, shoot me an email @ brian@simplyinvoices.com.

To celebrate, here’s a screenshot of the Simply Invoices dashboard. What you see in this shot are two “invoice templates” and one invoice listing. Next I’ll show what the invoice editor looks like along with an example of a generated PDF or two.
