The amount of IT in companies is increasing rapidly. More and more companies therefore need ongoing maintenance and technical assistance. Put the invoicing of those agreements into a system.
The IT consultant's assistance
As an IT consultant, you know that your clients trust you to keep their IT systems in top shape, but administrative work can often end up stealing time from what you’re really passionate about. Invoices, subscription management, and service agreements – it can all quickly become tasks that need to be done but lack time from you. Fortunately, Alunta can help you get it all under control. Our system gives you a simple overview of your subscription agreements, so you can concentrate on what matters: delivering value to your customers.
Shortcuts for the IT consultant
Full control over your subscriptions – no clutter, just an overview
As an IT consultant, you probably have many clients, each with different needs. Some may need weekly support, while others can manage with a monthly check-in. Regardless, these are often subscription agreements that need to be renewed regularly. But instead of messing around in different systems or manual to-do lists, Alunta can help you gather all your subscriptions in one place. You get a simple, user-friendly dashboard where you can create, change and manage all your customer agreements without a headache. So how does it work? Let’s say you have a client who needs ongoing monthly support. You create a subscription in Alunta, set the intervals, and then it just runs. The system keeps track of everything for you, so you can stay focused on delivering quality to your clients. No need to worry about anything falling through the cracks – everything runs as it should, making it easier for both you and your clients. When it’s time to renew a subscription, the system creates an invoice and shows it to you. With one click it is sent and posted to the accounts. See how we integrate with e-conomic.
Efficient invoicing – Alunta keeps track of everything
We know that invoicing isn’t exactly what you look forward to most in your workday. But it doesn’t have to be a hassle if you have the right system to take care of it. Alunta makes invoicing easier by automating the process – without it feeling like a “robot” taking over everything. With Alunta, you can create your invoices automatically every time a subscription is renewed. You just set up the subscription once, and the system keeps track of the intervals, sends the invoices and posts them in e-conomic (if you have that integration running). That way, you’re free to fiddle with invoice templates or keep an eye on payment deadlines. See here to learn more about effective subscription management. It’s not that invoicing is terribly difficult, but why not make it easier when you can? You’ll have time to focus on your customers and let the system handle the routine work.
Service agreements that run smoothly
As an IT consultant, it’s not just subscription management that requires your attention. You probably have a number of service agreements that need to be updated or maintained on a regular basis. And yes, it can quickly become a challenge to keep track of all the details. Are there any specific customer requirements you need to keep in mind? With Alunta, you can create and manage service agreements in the same simple way that you manage your subscriptions.
Gain insight with the right numbers – Alunta helps you understand your business
Data is what drives modern businesses forward – you probably already know that. But it’s not always easy to know which data is most important, or how to best use it to understand your business. With Alunta, you get a clear overview of key data like invoiced amounts, subscription status, and when renewals are coming. But speaking of data. That’s where ChartMogul comes in. By integrating with ChartMogul, you get the ability to dive deeper into your subscription data and see things like churn rate, Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV), and Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR). This is information that helps you understand how your business is performing and where you can improve. If you see customers disappearing quickly, you may need to change course and figure out how to retain them longer. Alunta delivers the data directly to you, so you always know where your business stands.
Get a complete overview of invoice and payment status
In the “invoice” menu, you get full control over your customers’ payment behavior. In fact, Alunta gives you a clear overview of which customers pay on time and who might be lagging behind. You probably also know, as an IT consultant, that a statistics tool like ChartMogul can even help you analyze how payments affect your business over time and which customers are most valuable to hold on to. Interesting information is, for example, your churn or your development on MRR. Read more about why churn is so damn important for your business. It’s about having insight into your customers’ payment patterns so that you can adapt your service and business model accordingly. If you see that certain customers always pay late, you can consider changing their payment terms or having a conversation about better payment routines. This gives you flexibility and control – without having to be the “annoying” one who constantly sends reminders.
Is your business growing? Alunta grows with you
Your IT consulting business may have started with a few clients, but as your business grows, keeping track of all the subscriptions and invoices becomes more complex. This is where Alunta shows its strength. At least we think so. Our system is designed to grow with your business, whether you have five clients or five hundred. When you have more clients, there are more subscriptions, more invoices, and more service agreements to keep track of. But with Alunta open in your browser, you can be sure that you will never lose track. The system scales with your business, so you can focus on growing and attracting more clients. And all the administrative work with invoices and accounting? Alunta handles that in the background.
