Need help to name an offline billing program - To be re-released soon!
Hey,
Some people know I was working on a program for offline billing/account management.
Well I didnt have time to work on it for some time, mainly because I was doing a lot for HR.
Now I have hired someone to work on the program for a while so there will be a new version within the next few days with 2 people working on the code
What I need help with, is a name for the program.
I will be releasing it with a new site, name and almost total rewrite of the code itself.
Some main features which might help people for a name:
Everything is currently done offline
It should work in windows and linux (Yet to test for linux but will soon)
It stores all information on the clients account, packages available, company information etc.
It can send invoice emails to clients
etc. etc.
Dont want to go into a list of whats available but its just to give you an idea
You should all be able to download it soon enough to see it for yourself
In the meantime I will be coding it and TRYING to get a site up for it (Have to create the actual site, then do the content )
Any suggestions for the name of the program would be great!
Thanks

Bill-Boy?
Think in terms of how a bell hop or bus boy does the grunt work for you, 'Bill-Boy/BillBoy' does the gruntwork of billing.

If I could make a suggestion.
I always wished there was a billing system that was 2 parts.
An online part and a offline part.
**Online Part**
-Order forms
-new customer signup
-customer updating
**Offline Part**
- card numbers
- invoicing, etc.
The online system would not carry any the credit card data.
Things like past/current invoices,
say a customer has to update thier address/credit card, they can go online and do so securely, a temp database would be created that was encrypted of course. When the offline software is loaded it would go out, get the batch of new updates and update the info offline then deleteing the online info.
The only thing online a customer would see in regard to their CC info would be
Your card on file is Visa ending in 1234.
That is it. The full card info would be offline on a secured offline computer.
I hope this makes sense.L. James Prevo - President/Owner

I really like BillGuy and Billvoice
The BillGateway one is funny hehe
Dont think BillGates.com would be available though
James, this is in the works for the future
There will betwo parts for this.
Most important data is saved to a MySQL database which will make it very easy to incorperate it into an online billing system.
At first I wasnt going to work with MySQL databases at this stage, but MySQL is very stable, secure and easy to work with, as well as being available for linux and windows so I decided to go along with that for the database now, its taking longer than it would have without it but I think its better to do it now so it can be used for online processes like you said, eg .customers signing up, changing details etc.
Once I work out the name I can get a site up and I will have a lot more details on whats available and whats planned.
Only using a template for the site as I just want something up quickly for the site.
Once the database work is finished, a few days to do more things I have thought of to add and another day to test it all should do it I think
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Important News
BillVoice first release will be available very soon.
More information will be available on the site including screenshots, a full feature list and other important information once the first public version is released.
For more information on how the program is going before the public release, feel free to make use of the forums.
Sorry about that
I wanted to wait until the first version is released to put more info up, the main reason being a lot of still being worked on and more was added and fix.
First version will be released later todayJohn Diver
