Hi dboreham, thanks for the feedback.
BillBuddy started as a project for myself, where I found that it was a big hassle to keep track of all invoices I received without manually processing them and filling in the amounts in my own bookkeeping software.
Instead of now having to open every invoice, I simply forward the invoices an let BillBuddy do the reading. Once per month when I do my taxes, I log in, run an export of the parsed data and see all the data I need at a glance.
This way I know what I spent and my quarterly tax-forms are filled in much more easily.
That's the backstory and how BillBuddy turned out to what it is today, where I feel it mostly supports small companies of which the bookkeeping is not too complex but a small hand comes in useful.
- bdcravens 9y agoYou'd do well to have that above the fold. Your screenshot takes up a ton of space, but looks like a generic admin screen, and it's not really information dense. The trendy backspace and type thing helps a little, but aside from that, the only thing I see on a 1920x1080 that convinces me to go further is one line "All your invoices in one place by simply forwarding your emails". I'd recommend pushing the UI candy down and pulling more of the FAQ etc up.
- frits1993 9y agoThanks a lot, will work on that.
- ciro_langone 9y agoHi there! I'm very interested in learning more about this project! Would I be able to email you at frits@progresso-ict.nl (from the website), or is there a different way you'd prefer to take questions? This is super impressive, well done!
- frits1993 9y agoHi ciro_langone, thanks for the compliment. frits@progresso-ict.nl is indeed my primary address, so feel free to send me an email.
- dboreham 9y agoThanks for the clarification. From my albeit perhaps restricted vantage point, a business that is both so small that it doesn't have an AP staff, but large enough that it has volumes of invoices, is a bit of a corner case. Could you give us more insight into what leads you to have such large numbers of invoices relative to your human count? For a while I thought you might mean "receipts" rather than "invoices", as in retail transaction paper receipts. But then I remembered you deal with submission by email which seems inconsistent with a paper receipt flow.
