## No more data loss

With easybill, access to your invoice, all other documents, and customer data is guaranteed at all times and from any location. All you need is a computer with an internet connection. Even in the event of a computer crash or another computer problem, your data remains completely intact. We back up your data every second for you!

## Save on tax advisory costs

The invoice and credit note created with easybill can, unlike an invoice template, be forwarded directly to your tax advisor with just a few clicks. They can easily import your data in a short amount of time. This simplification can sustainably reduce the costs of preparing bookkeeping.

## Calculation errors are ruled out

Of course, our invoicing software calculates your invoice amount completely automatically. Discounts, early payment discounts, or previous down payment invoices can also be conveniently taken into account when creating your invoice. Calculation errors in Word or Excel documents are a thing of the past.

## No need to go to the post office

If you use a conventional invoice template or quote template, you won’t be able to avoid the trip to the post office. easybill takes this step off your hands! You can have all documents sent either by post, by fax, or by email with or without a digital signature. And all at unbeatable low prices!

## Manage customer data easily

All customer data remains stored for an unlimited period of time. While using an invoice template and quote template usually requires you to open an old document and save it again to retrieve the customer’s address, easybill does this via a convenient database system. This keeps customer data always up to date and allows it to be transferred to new documents in seconds.
