Invoice software

Invoice software for everyday business

Hectile keeps your customers, estimates, invoices, sending and recorded payments in one organized, repeat-use workflow — invoicing software for the documents your business sends every week, not a one-off generator and not an accounting suite.

An ongoing workflow

From a customer request to a clear invoice record

Online invoice software earns its place when the same customers come back. Each step below reuses what the previous one created, so the second document for a customer takes minutes and the record stays coherent.

01

Customer asks

Pick the saved customer — or add one once with their email and preferred currency.

02

Estimate, if needed

Propose scope and price with a valid-until date. Record Accepted or Declined when they reply; nothing is invoiced yet.

03

Invoice draft

Create it from the accepted estimate or from scratch. Review dates, terms and lines while it is a draft.

04

Finalize and send

Finalizing assigns the official number. Email it from Hectile, share the secure link, or download the PDF.

05

Record payment

When money arrives — bank transfer, cash, anything — record it. The balance and status update.

Saved customers and items

Type a customer or a service once. Reuse it on every document.

Invoice management software is mostly about not re-entering the same details. Save each customer with contact details, billing address and preferred currency; save the items and services you bill for with their usual prices. New documents start from those records, and typed one-off lines always work too. Changing a saved customer or item later affects new drafts, not documents already issued.

Saved items are a price list for documents. Hectile does not track stock or purchasing.

Two document types

Estimates propose. Invoices request payment.

They look alike on paper but behave differently in your records. Keeping them separate is what lets you see what has been proposed, what has been billed and what has been paid.

AspectEstimateInvoice
PurposePropose scope and price before work begins. Also used for business quotations.Request payment for work delivered or agreed.
Key dateValid until — an open issued estimate shows Expired after it.Due date — an unpaid issued invoice shows Overdue after it.
OutcomeYour team records Accepted or Declined from the customer's reply; Accepted becomes Converted once a linked invoice is finalized.Payments you have received are recorded against it: Unpaid, Partially Paid, Paid.
NumberingOwn sequence per brand, e.g. BR-EST-000038.Own sequence per brand, e.g. BR-INV-000119. Assigned at finalization.
How an estimate is created How an invoice is created
One customer, three records

Finalize, optionally send, and record what was paid.

Every issued document carries three separate facts: where it is in its lifecycle, whether and how it was delivered, and what has been paid or decided. Hectile shows them side by side rather than collapsing them into one status.

Sending is optional — a finalized invoice can be downloaded and delivered any way you like. Payments are recorded by you when money arrives; Hectile does not collect payments or watch your bank account.
