yourapps.studio vs lexware office (lexoffice)
lexoffice writes invoices and does the books — well and cheaply. What is missing is everything before that: site, measurement, stock, packing list, planning. yourapps.studio has the invoice AND the business around it.
When lexoffice?
- You need only invoicing and bookkeeping — no stock, no site, no measurement
- You want to do the general ledger yourself (tax returns, balance sheet) instead of at your accountant
- You are self-employed or a micro business with few documents per month
- Your processes are standard — nothing that would need a form or workflow
When yourapps.studio?
- You need measurement sheets and VOB progress billing — a sheet per position and advances offset individually
- The invoice should come from the delivery note, the delivery note from the packing list, the packing list from the order
- Stock, purchasing and sourcing per job belong to the same record as the invoice
- Kits and the PV planner write the parts list into the quote
- Your site apps, approvals and training run in the same system as sales
- Bob creates orders, posts deliveries and matches payments — on request
