Online demonstration

You can see ebills run live hosted on the SourceForge servers by registering using the link on the right. It simply needs your email address to send you a password by return. You then have immediate access to most of the ebills features. The demo produces invoices and customer letters in HTML format rather than PDF (recommended for serious installations). We've disabled sending emails from this demo. We would also state that the workflow features come into their own when integrated into a PHP driven web site, which we've done for some customers.

The demo is available in English, French and German.

We will not contact you unless you ask us to. Good luck with the demo.

ebills is for ...

Any business that creates invoices and wants to care for their customers, especially those working with open source software. It is suitable for single individuals, small service companies with say 1 or 2 staff, larger organisations and corporates. In all cases it will save time issuing invoices, allow you to keep excellent records and to chase payments. It will also integrate with your web site.

Examples of items invoiced could include: your time charged at a fixed daily rate; expenses; a monthly recurring support or hosting charge; charges for standard products; ad-hoc charges; receipts for donations and annual fees. The list of what e-Bills will invoice is endless.

The new customer portal feature allows your customers to see the address records, invoices, contracts and payment history. It also allows them to submit items to the ebills workflow system which will benefit you and your customers through time savings and increased responsiveness.
