Why is cloud invoicing good for you?
If you want to streamline and improve your business, an online invoicing program is a very good investment. Working in the cloud will give you a vision of your finances and control over your business that will change your way of working forever.
Your invoicing program doesn’t have to be heavy
Invoicing programs that aren’t available online can be very heavy. They make you lose time, effort and above all patience.
They don’t add value and of course don’t contribute to making your tasks more bearable. They make managing your business heavier than it should be.
What exactly is the “cloud”?
To understand well what exactly the cloud means, it’s very useful to think about internet banking. Every time you access your account through your bank’s website, you’re using the cloud.
The cloud is a platform to make data and programs accessible online always, anywhere and from any device. Thanks to the cloud, your computer stops being your operations center.
Problems with traditional invoicing programs
These are just some of them:
Data is not permanently updated, and the program even less so.
They only work on one computer, and data is moved from one place to another with a USB or CD. Something not secure or reliable.
Only one person has user access. You can’t configure permissions for different users so they have or don’t have access to the company’s key data.
It’s very complicated to make backups.
It’s expensive, difficult and slow to update the software.
Customer service is slow and very expensive.
Why a cloud invoicing program?
Because you can use it from any device connected to the Internet. Your data is always within your reach, it’s scalable, with a good cost/effectiveness ratio and very easy to use.
Working from a single device, having to update your programs or transfer your information with USB is already part of the past. There’s something better within your reach. Give your business the opportunity to grow and succeed, without risks.
Cloud security is optimal
As a business owner you might be worried about the security of your data in the cloud. But the cloud is one of the safest ways to store your information. Two examples:
If someone steals your computer they won’t be able to access your company’s data without your account passwords. Your data stops being on a device that can be stolen.
The same happens in case of accident, fire or breakage of your devices. Your data will never be affected by these problems because it’s stored securely outside your offices. As quickly as you can connect to the Internet from any other device, you’ll be at the same point where you left off.
Furthermore, you’ll be able to control what level of access you give to each user of the account, something much safer than sending an email with attachments or exchanging USBs (we all know how easy it is to lose a USB).
Cloud programs ensure the security and privacy of your data and that of your business. If you’re already using internet banking, you’re ready to use an online invoicing program.
