Online Billing System for Many SMEs  & SMIs

Many SMEs in Malaysia failed to sustain their business for 3 years and above.

A business failed could come from several issue, however most of the business owner facing the two main issue below but yet to realize by most of the business owner:

-          Does not have a clear direction in their business.

A business should implement the computer system into their business management and operation process. This is always the same answer if you ask an IT expert.

Let me share with you how can an online billing system can solve your business cash flow problem. An online billing system allows a business owner to create and manage the invoice, payment note, debtors, and customer profile. Businessman will have total control over the billing transaction, and customer data.

An online billing system will help a boss/management to reduce the ongoing burden and they  are able to concentrate on their main function.  Eventually you’re a boss would be able to relax with the confidence that this job is being well taken care of by an online billing system.

In conservative  business processes, billing capability proves to be the main concern.  These Company would faced a lot of  issues and problems in their  billing.   Their procedures tend to be long, repetitive, time consuming and labour intensive but not cost effective.  The most common problems include  having to individually create quotation by word/excel, track its reference running number manually & etc, upon receipt of order, manual order confirmation and delivery orders. By the time actual billing could be done, there is a time lapse.  This would cost Companies lots of monies as payment date would be affected.  Also record/track  the unpaid bills manually.  All these billing works got to be done manually.  Most importantly, mistakes tend to arise more frequently due to human error and most times traceability is tedious.  Again these problems and issues are endless.

However, with a online billing system , most of your conservative  billing issues  would be resolved.  How?

-          Access anytime, anywhere

-          Track payment & Improve your cash flow

-          Details sales and payment receive report

-          One click invoice features

-          Permission access control

-          Intelligent search into previous records

-          Customize quotation & invoice layout

-          Automatically the running number

You can check the customerbilling and your sales reports at anytime and anywhere. This would greatly improve work efficiency both ways, your staff knowing you have immediate access to the accounts. 

Most of the online billing system allow you to do have the data transferredto other accounting system such as UBS   without your Accountant having to RE-TYPE your invoice and payment note!

Benefits / Advantages of Email Marketing

1.      Email Marketing Has a Wide Reach
Email marketing can reach a wide audience in a short period of time and allows recipients to immediately act on messages.

2.      Email Marketing Excels in Return-on-Investment
Email marketing is much more cost-effective than traditional direct mail marketing, banner ads or telemarketing where additional fees are incurred. Email marketing allows links to be embedded in messages, which drives website traffic.

3.      Email Marketing Can Be Highly Customized
Using a customer database, email marketing campaigns can be customized with specific customer data. Databases also allow targeted mailings to specific recipient groups, for example, by ZIP code, gender or income.

4.      Email Marketing Is Measurable
Email marketing and sales campaigns can be measured in detail through open-up, click-through and conversion rates to evaluate the success of campaigns. The data allows marketers to adjust strategies to improve future results.

5.      Reduce Overhead Costs
Email marketing can be done at a very low overhead cost! You don't need a ton of employees, designers, or marketing analysts. You don't need to pay for printing, postal mailing costs, phone lines, or advertising rates. An effective email marketing program only needs a great email marketing platform or service and a good marketer who knows how to put the right offers and the right copy and graphics in front of the right portion of your user or customer list. There is no marketing channel in which you'll spend less to get greater returns on your investment than email marketing.

6.      Reduced Time & Effort
Take a moment to think about the time and effort involved in structuring a direct-to-consumer or direct business-to-business campaign using one of the two most common offline direct marketing communications techniques:

a.       Print Postal Mailings: You'll need to allow time for a designer to create the mailing, typically through several lengthy revisions. Then you'll need to allow time for the print mailing to be printed, cut and, if necessary, stuffed into envelopes. There will be time while the marketing collateral is being transported via the postal system and then time while you wait for the consumer to retrieve it from the mail box.

b.      Telesales Campaigns: In addition to having to construct a telesales script, you'll have to wait the time out while your sales agents dial through cycled call attempts to all of the sales leads or customers on your target list.
