An invoicing app that took the admin out of getting paid
The problem
A Sydney business was handling invoicing the hard way — building each invoice by hand, sending it, then remembering who still owed money and following up one by one. It worked, but it ate time every week and let the odd payment slip through the cracks.
The build
A custom invoicing application built in React and Firebase: generate an invoice in a few taps, send it to the client, and track its status through to paid — all in one place, on the phone or the desktop. It's deployed and live in a client pilot right now.
The result
The app is in the hands of a real business as we speak. I'm measuring the before-and-after — time spent on invoicing and how quickly invoices get paid — over the course of the pilot, and I'll publish the numbers here once it wraps.
