From Chaos to Clarity: A Story of a Small Business Owner Using Swipe Since 2020

For a small business owner like Nishant, it is never as simple as it appears from the outside. While the business started in 2018, he didn't start invoicing, quoting, and everything else in the business down to a smooth, streamlined process until late 2020. Business operations, including managing the backend of his business, were becoming a bottleneck to our growth. They were handling everything manually—bills, proforma invoices, and quotations were all tracked on paper or across scattered formats. Not only was it time-consuming, but it also made it harder for the entire team to stay in sync.

The Problem: Juggling Too Many Tasks, with No Clear System

During the first 1.5 years of starting their business, these were the main pain points:

1. Billing was out of control and was manually handled

2. No central system for Pro Forma Invoices or Quotations

3. Team collaboration was difficult because of all sharing a centralised system

4. Tracking past invoices and client history was a challenge

5. It slowed down their overall operations and affected customer experience.

That’s when a friend stepped in and referred a solution that ended up changing everything Nishant thought and knew about invoicing, booking, and billing - Swipe.

The Turning Point: Finding Swipe

Back in 2020, the team took a leap of faith and decided to get the Swipe app, starting with the trial package. They went on to start using it with caution, but it very quickly became apparent that this was the product they had been waiting for.

“हमने बहुत सोचकर Swipe का ट्रायल लिया था… और आज हमारी पूरी टीम इसे यूज़ करती है।”

What started as a hopeful experiment turned into the backbone of their daily management.

How Swipe Changed the Game

When they were using Swipe, these were the stand-outs that they loved:

1. Extremely easy interface: Something as simple as ease of use was paramount, especially since some team members had limited tech experience.

2. Billing access at your fingertips: Everyone could identify which bill was generated, the year, and the client.

3. Continued upgrades: Swipe is continually evolving, with updates and new features regularly and easily available.

4. Growth is encouraged: As the business grew, Swipe was able to grow with them, growing the capacity of records, without it ever being a limiting factor.

Swipe saved the team time from having to figure out what invoice went to which client, and where to look to determine their numbers, as everything is located right there, at their fingertips.
