Invoice Management Software with SMS Integration

An estimate or an invoice should be a key feature of each invoice management software. Furthermore, e-mail and notification should also be included in order to make it known to companies when the estimate or the invoice was sent, when the estimate was last viewed and whether the invoice was received. These features are already available for invoice management softwares such as InfoFlo Pay and without a doubt, should also be included as a fundamental feature of all other similar solutions that unfortunately do not offer such features. Although emails are the basis of business communication, the only remaining problem is that no invoice management software can guarantee that such emails are not present in the SPAM of the customer when sending a secure link for an estimate or invoice. For this reason, SMS should be included as an additional form of communication, allowing estimates and invoices to be sent by SMS and therefore guaranteeing that they will be sent!

So what are the best SMS solutions to integrate with. Invoice management software solutions can integrate with Twillio for receiving SMS messages. Invoice program systems like InfoFlo Pay are fully integrated with Twillio. This SMS feature works much the same way as InfoFlo Pay send emails. Users can choose to e-mail and SMS a new estimate or invoice to their customers. A secure estimate or invoice link is then sent via InfoFlo Pay to the desired customer with custom content. As well, InfoFlo Pay contains a log that shows the user when the SMS is sent.

With this type of seamless integration, users of invoice management softwares can now ensure that their estimates and invoices reach their customers. In addition, InfoFlo Pay also contains digital forms and, contrary to other solutions, allows for the transmission of digital forms via e-mail and SMS.

Here are more explanations as to why SMS works: 33% of the people overall have exposure to cell phones than toilets! In 2013, mobile phone access (and therefore SMS access) amounted to 6 billion. Although the dramatic increase in new communications applications has overcome SMS, this year averages an average of 20 billion text messages to 7,3 trillion per year. It's more than 5.5 million a second! Open email rates at 20-30 percent are great. However, according to a Dynmark report, SMS blows away at an open rate of 98 percent! In fact, 90 percent are read in 3 seconds. Think about how long it takes for a text to move between your phone and your hand.

Therefore, SMS will essentially increase the probability that estimates and invoices are paid!

This article therefore hoped to explain the value of SMS incorporation with your preferred invoice management software. If this feature is not included in your current solution, you can lose customer satisfaction and receive a lower amount of estimates accepted and invoices paid. This is why a program with SMS functionality, such as InfoFlo Pay, should be used.
