Billbooks launches version 3.0 of its mobile app, transforming field invoicing with new dashboard, redesigned interface, and real-time reporting to accelerate cash collection for small firms.
Billbooks has released version 3.0 of its mobile app on Google Play and the App Store, presenting the update as a full rebuild rather than a routine feature refresh. According to the company, the release introduces a new dashboard, redesigned screens throughout the app and mobile access to functions that were previously confined to the web version. The aim is straightforward: let users create and send invoices while they are still at the job site, rather than postponing the task until they return to a desk.
That matters because invoicing delays can lengthen the time before money arrives. Billbooks points to its own payment data showing that invoices are typically paid nine days after issue, while one in ten takes 57 days or more. The company argues that shortening the gap between finishing work and sending the invoice is one of the few parts of the cash-collection process that businesses can directly control. The app is designed to make that immediate billing possible, with invoice creation, item lines, discounts, shipping, notes and digital signatures available on the phone.
The mobile rebuild also adds practical tools that small firms often need in the field. Users can track time against clients and projects, record expenses and attach billable costs to invoices, and work with proforma invoices and credit notes. The App Store listing confirms support for multiple organisations, estimates, payments by card, overdue reminders and reports, alongside project management functions. Billbooks also says the app supports multi-currency invoicing and reporting, and that payment integrations including Stripe, PayPal, Braintree and Authorize.net can be enabled from the app itself.
Billbooks is also leaning on reporting as a core part of the redesign. The company says the phone app now includes seven reports, covering invoices, expenses, item sales, collections, outstandings, sales tax summary and profit and loss. The dashboard is intended to surface key figures such as sales, expenses, recurring revenue and unbilled work, giving users a quick view of what has been earned but not yet invoiced. That emphasis fits with the company’s wider message that a good invoicing tool should reduce admin friction while keeping payment status visible.
Not every function has moved to mobile. Billbooks says scanning paper invoices or receipts remains web-only, as does synchronisation with Xero and QuickBooks. The app also requires an internet connection, and Apple’s listing shows iOS 15.6 or later is needed, which excludes older iPhones such as the iPhone 6. Even so, the company says the app is free to download, included in existing plans at no extra cost, and available to new users who can sign up and verify an email address inside the app.
