Spot Invoice is from IdeaSynthesis, a technology development firm based in Boston. We send out invoices, and we wanted to make the invoice creation process as simple as possible for us. A lot of existing invoice generation is done by either printing out Excel spreadsheets, using large accounting packages or filling out one or more forms on the web: we thought that there had to be an easier, more interactive way to to go about creating an invoice.
We think visual design makes everything better: your changes show up instantly, and when you're done you hit a button and you've got a perfect PDF you can print out on any printer (or attach to an email).
So here we are: we don't know if this is the best solution possible, but we definitely think this IS a much better way to go about creating invoices. Try it: let us know what you think.
