Pros

Easy - for the staff imputing time & Expenses from their phones or laptops in the field. To also being able to send copies of receipts when in the field. To clients being happy that they can read and understand the invoice. The templates are so custom to your type business that it is impossible not to have a great looking professional invoice, even with people in the field for 30 days with expenses and mileage. It is great for gov't contracts invoicing
