SnapBill, the South African online invoicing and billing system, was launched globally on the 25th of January 2011. SnapBill facilitates billing for all business models and types, especially those providing services requiring an automated recurring billing system and payment collection facilities.

SnapBill was developed in South Africa by local entrepreneurs, Josh Yudaken and Jaco van Wyk. It was launched for South African trials in March 2010. Since its local launch SnapBill has acquired over 1000 active South African SME and enterprise users, some billing over 20 000 clients and R100 million per month.

With the success of South African trials the time has come to introduce SnapBill to the world. “We have been working on SnapBill with a private South African beta version for the last 10 months and have decided it is time to open our doors to the rest of the world.” says Josh Yudaken, SnapBill co-founder. “In the months since its South African launch, SnapBill has evolved into a fully featured, robust system, capable of handling anything our users can throw at it. Thorough user testing, detailed debugging, focused feature refinement and additional Southern African trials have shaped SnapBill into a system that is truly ready to take on the global market.”

SnapBill is suitable for use by small to medium sized businesses as well as enterprise level clients. With a free package to help users get started and customised enterprise integration offered for business with more than 500 clients, SnapBill’s scalability meets the needs of any business.

SnapBill offers a comprehensive range of standard invoicing and client management features, but our main selling point is our flexible handling of services. We allow our users to add their own services to the system. We then generate branded signup forms for their clients, automatically bill their clients monthly via their own payment gateway and handle client suspensions for non-payment. As examples of possible services, some of our beta users have chosen to offer their clients website hosting, life insurance and magazine subscriptions through SnapBill.

SnapBill co-founder, Jaco van Wyk, lists the systems primary competition as international billing systems Zuora & Aria, but adds that these are primarily focused on enterprise clients whereas SnapBill also offers packages perfect for small to medium sized businesses. Other offerings with invoicing and basic recurrence includes Freshbooks, Invoicera, BlinkSale, BallPark and Invoice Machine and some recurring subscription offerings without serious client management like Chargify, Recurly, Spreedly and CheddarGetter compete with our system on varying levels. It is important to note though that SnapBill offers both advanced recurring/subscription invoicing as well as client management and also allows you to sell your services online which makes it stand out above the competition.

SnapBill launched internationally on the 25th of January 2011 along with a new website and a host of great new system features. The international launch enables users from across the globe to sign up and utilise the SnapBill system. SnapBill supports all global currencies and although only currently available in English, translated versions will be launched according to demand. South African users will still receive all the benefits of the beta system with the added bonus of the new international systems features.
