asterisk users - Aug 2010 - What do you use for Invoicing?

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, if it's not directly related to Asterisk. Some of people on this list
might have PBX deployed for their clients. What software do you use to
invoice them so the invoice looks like a proper telecom invoice maybe?

Prefer:
-opensource with Windows binary available.
-able to create .pdf invoices rather than printable ones.

Thanks

Its partially open source (you get the source to everything but the
financial routines), and it runs on Unix rather than Windows, though you
do have a web interface.  Checkout BillMax: www.billmax.com

They have some extensions that create PDF invoices in "telecom" style.
Its pretty powerful otherwise for doing any kind of recurring billing.

I wrote the initial version, but I am not associated with the company
anymore.

I generated invoices with PHP code - it uses a LaTeX template which it 
fills in the gaps, then feeds it through LaTeX and dvi2pdf to generate 
PDFs.

Bit of a geek solution though.

Hi Bruce,

We have build an Invoicing module (ICTInovice) for Elastix. It is Free, Open
Source, Generate PDF Invoices, and can mail invoices to clients!

You can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ictinvoice/

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/ictinvoice/>Note: Currently ICTInvoice
only
work with Elastix 1.6

Regards

I wanted the same, and so wrote my own. There is none free for this purpose.

Yep, I seen that. That is probably the closet thing but looking at he
interface it makes me not try to install it. Maybe too complicated. I
wouldn't want to send customer the whole CDRs but rather a nice Bill like
the telco sends out.

I am currently toying with NCH Invoicing. Those guys make a software for
anything and everything.

Thanks,
Bruce

This may not meet all specifications (as I haven't played with it yet), but
I
saw the full blown version in a demo a couple of months ago and it was 
definitely impressive. It had a lot of metrics and data for billing, and did 
everything I could think of. I just don't have any customers who have
required
such a service yet.

They also have a free service, but again, I haven't tried it, but it might
be
something to check out:

The pay service is here:
