Multiple Users

A great feature of Trade Invoice is the ability to have multiple “users” simultaneously accessing and using the system from any location in the world!

Gone are the days where companies with multiple offices have to manually send quotes or invoices to head office for keying into an isolated computer. With Trade Invoice you can get your remote staff to enter them directly into the system via the internet saving hours every week and avoiding keypunch errors.
