Electronic billing systems have made inroads in American business, but usually we think of them as powerful software programs designed for hospitals or major corporations.
Can small businesses benefit from electronic billing? North Dakota web development firm Onsharp says the answer is "yes." The firm's new SmartPay system, launched this month, is designed to be economical for smaller businesses, and scalable enough to grow with them when they become bigger businesses.
SmartPay allows a professional with a home office to accept payment by credit card or bank draft, simplifying the process for clients and creating a more professional impression. A health club, daycare provider, or dance studio can avoid diverting staff to invoicing and paperwork when they're needed for direct service provision. An artist or musician can keep track of irregular invoices and thereby reduce unpaid bills and improve cash flow.
It’s also an environmentally responsible choice. Reducing consumption of resources has a powerful effect on our environment. The Pay It Green Alliance has calculated that the average business, by switching to paperless bill paying, can avoid 171 pounds of greenhouse gases. With 30% of American consumers already preferring to work with companies that make environmentally responsible choices, this can be a wise marketing move.
