Today, I have the honor of introducing the world’s largest selection of accounting apps!

All apps integrate with e-conomic and are part of our strategy to make bookkeeping and accounting easier and more fun for small and medium businesses.

Providing the world’s largest selection of accounting apps

Streamlining and simplifying processes

For business owners without accounting experience, bookkeeping can be very time-consuming. That’s why we strongly support the development of apps that streamline and simplify these processes.

Using e-conomic apps, you can e.g. report mileage automatically using your mobile phone, automatically record orders and sale of a web shop, or automatically scan and transfer invoices to e-conomic. In the same way, apps are available for helping you collect outstanding payments, book salary and record time and materials spent on projects.

Connecting systems

In e-conomic, an app is an integration application that works as an intuitive utility to connect e-conomic with other systems such as web shops, CRM systems, payroll systems etc.

As you may know, e-conomic is structured around an open Application Programming Interface (API) enabling other companies to develop and sell apps that integrate with e-conomic. This is part of our basic philosophy that data should be allowed to flow freely between business systems. Our framework is so standardized and easy to use that you can code almost all of your app in our API.

We don’t make money on apps, but the number of apps has increased by 40% in the last year, and they play a significant part in attracting new customers and so help us increase our growth.

Apps seminar for developers

With so many apps and opportunities provided through our API, we’d like to play a much more active role in helping developers and partners create the best possible apps.

That’s why we’re organizing a Getting started with Apps seminar (select ‘Getting Started with Apps’ as ‘Type’), which will take place November 24  at 18:00 CET. Here, developers will get introduced to our API, our app resources and learn how to create their first app.

We’ve also set up an Apps team dedicated to assisting developers and partners by providing them with feedback on their ideas, helping them promote their apps and pointing them towards resources.

With these new initiatives, I look forward to seeing even more great e-conomic apps developed in the future. Keep an eye on the Apps section of our website to stay up-to-date with the latest apps.

There are many important things to keep track of when running a business – invoicing being one of the most critical.  Receiving correct and timely payment, and keeping good payment relations with your customers can go a very long way.

Here are a few invoicing “dos and don’ts” to keep your invoicing process fast, easy and effective.

DO have a backup system.

Summer is upon us – there’s no doubt about it.  The sun is high, the days are long, and the children have long been free from the daily call to school.

Perhaps you’re on holiday, unable to ignore the distinct buzz of your mobile or iPad that brings a new mail into your inbox.  Or perhaps you’re still in the office – busy keeping your business running as usual.

Either way it’s important to remember that taking a true holiday is important for not only your well being and your family, but also for your business.

A relaxing holiday can recharge you and your business

In the world today, the internet and how you access it can often directly affect your business – even if you consider yourself to be an offline company.  Whether you run a webshop or an accounting firm, your internet browser is a tool that you likely utilize every single day.  Even so, you may not have given your browser’s affect on your work a second thought.

To work smarter in today’s online world, it is important to consider the browsers available to you – and imperative that you keep the ones you work with up to date.

Today we released the 26th e-conomic Market Package, and it is filled with functionality enhancements that we hope will make your daily accounting faster and easier.

e-conomic’s 26th Market Package has arrived – just in time for the holidays!

Newest improvements

One of the enhancements in this month’s market package is the addition of a new pop-up for creating an accounting year.  This pop-up will prompt you to create a new accounting year if you do not already have one or if your current accounting year ends within two weeks.

Another enhancement in this market package is in the detection of bounced e-mails. This detection has been massively improved, and allowing e-conomic to detect these much more reliably.

This does not mean that more e-mails will bounce, but rather that you are now alerted to more of them by our system.  This way, you will be better equipped to fix any issue that may be causing your e-mails to bounce.

And much more…

Read about the rest of this month’s enhancements and improvements on our website.
