Billing Boss iPhone version

Mobile version

Billing Boss is now also optimized for the iPhone and the Google G1. When you visit BillingBoss.com from your mobile phone you will see a special version made just for small screens and slow connections. The regular version is still available on the iPhone, but the mobile version makes the most common tasks a lot easier.

Import/Export customer lists

If you already have your customer list elsewhere, now you can import your customers into Billing Boss so you don't have to re-enter your data. What's more, you can export your Billing Boss contacts as well. The standard CSV format works with Microsoft Excel and many other systems.

Improved payment support

Payment options for invoicesNow you have improved control over the ways you can receive payment online. You can select multiple payment methods, and allow different payment methods for different invoices. Would you rather receive a check (or a cheque) for a large invoice, or credit cards for smaller amounts? Now you can.

Invoice history and delivery tracking

Invoice historyCheck to see who's received their invoices. Failed deliveries are recorded on the invoice history and also emailed back to you.

We've seen that people who use Billing Boss work across borders, across currencies, across timezones, and across platforms. We've heard your comments and requests; we've seen how Billing Boss is used, and we're using that to improve the service. We're always interested in hearing more, and we value your comments. Expect to hear more about SageSpark.com and new ways you can accelerate the productivity of your business.
