If part of your business involves selling “things" and not just time, then BillingTracker Pro provides you with an elegant solution. The key is to integrate a simple way to manage your material items with the rest of your service based business.
BillingTracker Pro’s ‘Manage Materials’ module lets you create a list of items that you sell. You can define a description of the item, your cost, your markup (profit) for it, and your buyers. The markup for each item can be set as a default or it can be changed for each item or each client. If you have a business where some clients tend to be more profitable than others, BillingTracker Pro’s system of automating the markup saves you hours of time, and potential embarrassment, when you are creating the bill.
Once you have created your list of items, you can resell them as part of the larger service project that you are providing or you can sell them individually. In both cases, you would add them to the invoice by going to the ‘New Expense’ screen and choosing the ‘Material Expense’ type. You can use this same screen to choose the quantity. The client’s price will automatically be calculated and added in.
You can use the Preferences screen to set the default markup, and also to change the word ‘markup’ to ‘profit’ or ‘overhead’ (or anything you want).
