Smart invoices: The story of Smart Bill - the market leader of online invoicing and management solutions

Smart Bill has revolutionized invoicing in Romania. The solution offered is suitable for all businesses for issuing, delivering, collecting invoices, notices, proformas, receipts, inventory management. All online. So its inclusion among the partners of BT Store, the online hub of complementary banking solutions for entrepreneurs, recently launched by Banca Transilvania, came as naturally as possible.

Let's start at the beginning

The idea of this business even came at a meeting with a client, for whom Smart Bill had developed a website. Being extremely cumbersome to issue invoices and receipts, they were looking for a solution to simplify this whole process. Since 2007, with the accession to the EU, invoices and receipts were no longer taxable and thus could be issued on a computer and delivered by email. This is where it all started: from a context and a solution to a problem.

"The name is a pun, Bill also means the bill, but it's also a character that we use in communication, it brings a human component, warm to a program that is about something perceived as cold, rigid. Bill is smart. J" says Mircea Capatina, co-founder and business development manager

The road to success

The road to success is generally difficult, but when you have a product created by experts and your focus is to make your customers happy, you can't help but get where you want to go. "The seed was the most important and I think in her DNA she wrote that we cared. We really cared. To create a product that we can be proud of, to make customers happy, to succeed. From this seed was born a program created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs and not by programmers for experts, a program that really facilitates work. From there, a customer-oriented culture was born", says Mircea Capatina.

Beautiful ideas from Smart Bill management

• Technology is changing our lives and it's not optional. It works for or against us.
• The biggest challenge of people, but also of businesses, is to remain relevant. We have to constantly adapt to change, because most industries are influenced by technology.
• Entrepreneurship is a team game, so the team matters a lot.
• It never gets easy. Maybe easier, but definitely all hard

Smart Bill in a few figures

BT + Smart Bill

The BT – Smart Bill partnership started in 2017 and is still ongoing: newly established companies that open an account with BT receive 12 months free of charge at Smart Bill.

More recently, through BT Store, Smart Bill takes away from entrepreneurs everything that primary accounting means, whether it is the issuance of 2-3 invoices per month and their delivery to customers and accountant or about tens of thousands of sales with receipts, invoices, receptions by any number of users, from any location. In addition, they have preferential price packages.

Smart Bill plans

Smart Bill has big plans. They want to make Smart Bill an ecosystem that will be at the heart of a business's activity: "We are talking about several versions of Smart Bill that are at the customer, at the accountant, at the seller in the field, versions that are connected to online stores, to the marketplace and, who knows, maybe to a bank. J Everything will be interconnected, thus eliminating manual work and making the transfer of data between various entities in real time." says Mircea Capatina. Therefore, they are pursuing their mission to reinvent the financial accounting software market, something they have set out to start in full force in 2019.

Instead of conclusion, Smart Bill in 3 words: 100% about customers.
