			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been talking with the founder of <a href="http://www.greenerbilling.com/">GreenerBilling.com</a> Dave Kollasch over the past couple weeks regarding his fantastic web based invoicing software. This will be the first of my posts about this program. I’ll continue to follow it and make posts in the future about changes, updates and addons. <strong>This product is ‘The Lawn Blog Approved’ as lawn care invoicing software.</strong></p>
<p>From testing it out I am finding it to be extremely easy to use. The company profile page is very detailed letting you input your company details, timezone, currency, emails and website. It also allows you to upload your company logo to attach to very professional invoices. You can set your terms of payment (i.e. Net 30 days), add all your services and set prices for them and even setup different users to access the information (such as office staff or your accountant).</p>
<p><strong>Current Features</strong></p>
<p>Invoicing (E-mail or download as PDF)<br />
Customize Invoices with Company Logo<br />
Worldwide currency capable<br />
Detailed Payment History for Invoices and Clients<br />
Graphic representation (pie chart) of Payment Status<br />
Invoice Templates with recurring schedule capability<br />
Dashboard Alerts keep your business in front of you<br />
E-mail Message System<br />
- Vital for healthy Customer relationship Management (CRM)<br />
- Invoice Notification, Past Due Reminder and Payment Received<br />
Cloning (create duplicate records easily)<br />
Client Management – Unlimited<br />
User Access – Unlimited<br />
User Activity monitoring<br />
Account Owner preference capability<br />
Products/Services with image capability<br />
Bank standard security and data backup</p>
<p>I can go on and on about this product but I urge you to go over to <a href="http://www.greenerbilling.com/">GreenerBilling.com</a> and check it out for yourself. They have a <strong>FREE</strong> option available that you can use (cleverly named ‘dirt’ (cheap) package). I have included a profile of the company below. Have a read and let me know your thoughts on this program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As many of our readers know, we own and operate a Landscape Maintenance company called <a href="http://www.murphyslawns.com/" target="_blank">Murphy Property Maintenance</a>.  We are constantly struggling with software and how to track our hours, services, create reports.  We have been using Quickbooks for 5 years now but being a constant slave to the program and the extreme learning curve…well, its almost impossible to run the business as well as track it.</p>
<p>I received an email from a gentleman called Sam Pillar he is the Co-Founder and President of the company that makes <a href="http://www.getjobber.com/" target="_blank">Jobber</a>.   He boasted that their software was “the best online business management software for on-site service companies.”   Sam had me intrigued!   I check out the website and browsed through the <a href="http://www.getjobber.com/features" target="_blank">features and benefits</a> that his software offered and decided to sign up for a trail account.</p>
<p>I was pleasantly surprised on how the software looked and felt streamlined.  So many other software / cloud computing out there is hard to navigate and find the information in an easy fashion.  As I evaluated the program the “Quick Start Guide” lead me on my way to setup my company and enter in my employees and first clients.  The scheduling window is a breeze to use and I love the notifications on the ‘Dashboard’ for pending jobs.  This program is looking better every minute I use it.</p>
<p>Woah!  Automatic Geo-Tagging is sweet for client properties…yes I can reviewing this program as I write this, need to be fresh in the mind ya know <img src="http://www.thelawnblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /></p>
<p>Under the user settings you can create custom fields such as – property hazards, property size (sqft.), gate locked, dogs, etc.  Very nice option.  Another option is to have embedded forms for your website that sends quote info straight into Jobber…how sweet is that!</p>
<p>Jobber even has an API key so for all you programmers out there that would like to extend the program even further…have at er.</p>
<p>All in all this program is definitely worth the while to check out for any service based company.  I am going to continue to try it out and post more comments as I come across more neat features that can help me save time and money.  Look for edits and comments on this post very soon.  Oh, I forgot to mention Quickbooks integration and mobile capabilities…Just check it out already.</p>
