FreshBooks, has now added time tracking and online billing capabilities. Other companies such as SlimTimer provide the time tracking, but online billing is a great addition for FreshBooks. In doing so, the company is building a 21st Century invoicing platform for the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry, making the Web a more effective and friendly place for business transactions for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and their customers.

FreshBooks API allows application designers, businesses, services companies, and users to integrate FreshBooks’ industry-leading billing platform into an entirely new category of products, features, and solutions for enhancing and streamlining productivity, workflow, sales, CRM, project management, and invoicing.

Application/service integrators can incorporate FreshBooks APIs into existing and new products to extend functionality, including timers, project planners, and desktop widgets. Services providers, such as ISPs, Web apps, wine, book or other product of the month clubs, with an existing sales infrastructure can use the API to add a professional-quality billing component. Tech savvy customers can also integrate FreshBooks functionality into their current workflow. All share the common goal of improving customer services and expediting the payment process.

FreshBooks is a painless online invoicing and time-tracking service designed to make its users look as professional as ‘Fortune 500′ companies. It changes the way businesses manage their books, saving them time, improving their cash flow, enhancing client communications, and streamlining their business processes.

Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, FreshBooks, formerly 2ndSite, was introduced on May 1st 2004 and has released 18 new versions since then. Aside from providing painless online time tracking and billing services, FreshBooks also helps small businesses by driving community-based initiatives such as weekly tele-seminars, daily web log stories with helpful information, and an active, user-driven forum. ellipticals
