Why pros switch
Invoices don't get forgotten
Mark the job complete and the invoice sends. Automated chasers do the awkward reminder for you.
Your accountant will love you
One-click export. No more shoebox of till receipts in April.
You keep evidence of the work
Before-and-after photos live on the job forever — you're covered if a customer disputes.
FAQs
I'm not techy — is this actually simple?
Yes. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use Absolutely. Setup takes under 10 minutes.
Do I need a laptop?
No. Most pros only ever use the phone.
Can I keep some paper as backup?
Of course — but you probably won't want to after the first week.
