From quote to cash, branded.

An invoice has two jobs. It has to look like it came from a serious business, and it has to be right in the ledger. Software usually does one of these well. A word processor produces a handsome document that accounting knows nothing about; an accounting package produces a correct entry attached to a document nobody wants to send. Vantage Point does both from one action: issuing an invoice posts the revenue, the tax and the debtor entry, and renders a properly typeset PDF on your own template at the same time.

The templates are real designs rather than a logo dropped into a grid — ten professional layouts carrying your brand colours and company details, with a ZIMRA verification QR code on every fiscalised invoice. Foreign currency invoices carry the rate they were raised at, stamped on the document, with the conversion handled in one place so the figure on the page and the figure in the ledger cannot drift apart. Withholding tax is handled on the document rather than adjusted for afterwards.

The rest of the paper trail is treated with the same seriousness. Credit and debit notes are issued against an invoice and reverse it cleanly, with no hand-written journals. Payments can be partial and allocated across several invoices, and — this is a distinction many systems get wrong — a payment and a credit note are recorded separately, so applying a credit never quietly erases a payment that was already received. What is still owed flows straight into debtors.
