A few months ago, we looked at a BlackBerry application called ReportAway, which was geared towards giving FreshBooks users mobile access. If you aren’t familiar with FreshBooks, they are essentially, as they put it, “The Leader of online Billing and Bookkeeping”. As I said before, they reduce the hassle of managing manual invoices, time tracking forms and other paper-based paperwork by allowing your team to report online. They can then focus on assisting their clients, as well as potentially being able to see more clients in a day. No more “missing” paperwork, no more disorganized files, no more guessing games. So whether you are a contractor, managing an outside sales team or part of a field service organization, having rapid access to online reporting would be ideal. If you take a look at the ReportAway review, I did briefly mention that FreshBooks was working on their very own Beta application. I originally contacted them to see how familiar they were with ReportAway and its functionality, when they told me of the beta app and where I could find it. Although at the time they said it was awaiting App World approval, I have yet to see it there. I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to try out their Book Keeper application.
