Comparison
Avsaro or Word, Excel and separate tools
You probably start with Word and Excel, and that works until there are more clients. Here you see where the difference lies.
Why Avsaro, and not a pile of separate programs
For many business owners a job now runs through four programs: a Word file for the quote, a separate service for the signature, another program for the invoice and yet another for the payment. You tie it all together yourself and keep four places up to date.
Avsaro does it all in one portal, in your own installation that Assist2go hosts and looks after, with 1.5 hours of support a month. And you can try it for thirty minutes first, without an account.
| Part | Word, Excel and separate tools | Avsaro |
|---|---|---|
| Making a quote | Copy a document and adjust it. You work out prices and totals yourself or in a separate sheet. | One editor with your service catalogue, a total that adds up as you go and a live preview. |
| Getting it signed | Print, sign, scan or email a pdf back. You keep the evidence yourself. | The client signs online through a personal link. The agreement is recorded with an evidence file and certificate. |
| Making an invoice | Retype the details of the quote into an invoice template or package. | The drafts for the deposit and the final invoice come from the quote. You check and send. |
| Payment and follow-up | Keep track of who has paid yourself and send reminders yourself. | Payment details or iDEAL through Mollie, reminders on a schedule and a list of what needs attention. |
| Subscriptions | Create the same invoice again every month. | A subscription creates a draft invoice on the fixed day, or sends it automatically if you choose that. |
| Overview and VAT | Gather figures from several files for your accountant. | Reports for revenue, sales VAT per quarter, debtors and quote funnel, from the same data. |
| Archive | Folders and file names, depending on who made them. | A file per client, archiving with a reason and retention periods with a lower limit. |
| Cost and effort | Usually already there and familiar. No setup needed. | A one-time 495 euros and 150 euros per month, both excluding VAT, with hosting and a support budget of 1.5 hours per month. Assist2go sets it up with you. |
When Avsaro makes the difference
You notice it as soon as you lose time retyping, searching for what is outstanding, or you want your clients to sign and pay sooner. One chain with the same data then saves time and mistakes every week.
What Avsaro is built for
Avsaro is built for quotes, invoices and payments. Your bookkeeping stays where it belongs: purchases, bank, input tax and the VAT return remain in your accounting package or with your accountant, and Avsaro supplies the sales side.
