BILLING & INVOICE
Billing Module:
AppColl® Billing module is a full feature billing, invoicing and accounting system built specifically for Intellectual Property professionals. Law firms can track their time, easily invoice their clients and receive payments.Corporations can load billing information from law firms and track spending. The Billing module is completely integrated with the other modules in AppColl® so you can leverage all of the data you have already entered. No more transferring data to or from other systems, or having to work with different products with different interfaces. Easily import invoices and sync data with Quickbooks.
Add your billing items manually, or use the timer in AppColl® to put yourself or a particular task on the clock. Custom build invoices based on your criteria. Users pick how much detail to include in invoices, based on client preferences. With the click of a button, preview the invoice before actually committing the changes, modify it on the fly if needed, then save it. AppColl® will create a PDF copy of the invoice as well as a LEDES electronic billing file for you clients that require it. Our LEDES files are both 1998b and 2.0 compliant. Create unlimited billing reports including amounts billed, amounts collected, aging reports, billing efficiencies and much more.
