    We are using Tungsten with the former Readsoft OCR Products and Ebydos webcycles. All incoming paper-based invoices, delivery documents, advices, etc. will be scanned and digitized incl. OCR by Tungsten. They are highly integrated in SAP processes and own developments. Tungsten Ebydos Webcycle is used for approval workflows for deviations in orders, PO volume, pricing, etc. This is also fully integrated in SAP workflows, incl. own developments.

    Zoho Invoice streamlines invoicing, payments, and customer interactions, improving financial health and saving time, money, and energy. It ensures billing accuracy, reduces errors, and streamlines client billing by tracking goals and streamlining invoice generation. Zoho Invoice focuses on automation and invocation management to efficiently complete multiple tasks. Zoho Invoice has all the features needed for an invoicing system, but it could be better at integrating with other CRM platforms and simplifying taxation.

    • Time tracking, though easy enough, could be simplified. Having the ability to change default settings when entering time could save a few keystrokes.
    • The ability to automatically take unbilled hours and pull into a new invoice seems to be there, but it is a bit cumbersome. It also defaults to too much detail. Having the ability to customize would be great.
    • The ability to auto-BCC yourself on all invoices sent out would be a nice feature.

    Zoho invoice has changed my expectations of what services like this can be. Providing something as simple as invoicing for small businesses who are struggling to find places to cut costs at such a reasonable rate is life-changing for some businesses. I know it was for mine. We saved so much that we did not have to cut in other areas. That has helped to keep us in business and grow it as well.

    Google Drive stored my invoices in one accessible location but required more time and maintenance. I didn't want to invest the time into building out sheet functions to carry over figures across sheets, so I researched invoicing options. I am already a fan of Zoho services, so it was an easy decision to try out their Invoicing site. Same login, the same level of support, free trial. No risk! I was pleased to find the solution on my first try.
