    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
    John

    Playing with Offline:
    OffSite Manager
    OffSite Accountant
    OffSite Biller

    Playing with running the system from anywhere:
    ManageAnywhere
    Freedom Biller
    Billiberty

    This one's scary:
    NoEscape Biller (haha your server may be down and your clients are pissed off but you'll still get to bill them!)

    Playing with friendly (like Matt's BillGuy)
    Offline Pal
    Buddy Biller (think Arnold S hehe)

    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.

    How about:

    BillClinton
    BillGates

    I have a feeling these names have potential!

    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!

    Hey,
    I decided to go with www.BillVoice.com and the site is now live
    The program will be released next week (Between monday 15th and friday, monday being very likely)

    This is from the forum:
    The first public beta of BillVoice is due for release between the week Monday 15th March and Friday 19th

    The program will be available to download free of charge.
    So yes, it will be free to download once its out but it will be in beta for a while

    Thanks to everyone that helped

    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.
    Hey,
    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 today
