Creating invoices from timesheet entries

Friday, July 25th, 2008

We’ve gotten a lot of feedback from users about the latest changes to invotrak.  Many people have been very impressed (“Bravo!” wrote one enthusiastic invotraker), and a few have offered some suggestions for improvements.  So, not ones to sit around idly by, we’ve added a couple updates.

The biggest one is the ability to create an invoice from a selection of timesheet entries.  In the past, you had to create an invoice first, then attach entries to it as line items.  Now, just select the entries you want to invoice for, select New Invoice for the client to send it to, and you’re on your way!

There’s a couple of other minor changes we’ve made as well.  Right now, I’m working on some additional screencasts to illustrate all the great new features of invotrak, and I hope to have these available soon.  In the meantime, be sure to let us know what you think!

Invotrak goes 2.0!

We’ve just put the finishing touches on our next major update to invotrak! If you’re already an invotrak user, you’ll notice quite a few changes, not least of which is the interface update. I’ll give a quick rundown of the changes.

First, we’ve updated invotrak’s interface to give it a much cleaner, more elegant feel. We’ve changed the navigation around a bit too, which we hope you’ll find intuitive while making it easy to move between sections.

Second, we’ve added a whole bunch of new features. Some of the most interesting:

  • Create invoices! Now, you can either upload an existing invoice you create yourself, or create an invoice using invotrak. You can even assign items from you (or your employee’s) timesheets as line items on your invoice. It should make the process much easier.
  • See reports! It’s now very easy to see interesting reports on your billings. See how your business is doing in a particular month, quarter, or year.
  • Lots more! There’s a ton of interesting other little items we’ve added (clock in/out of timesheet entries, for instance) that makes invotrak even easier and more powerful to use.

Another major change to invotrak involves the advertising formula. There are no longer any ads on invotrak. Instead, we’ve replaced it with a simple subscription model that lets you pay for what you need.

We’ve been working very hard to put together this new invotrak, and we hope you like it. But of course, we rely on your feedback to let us know how we’re doing. So let us know in the comments!
