The problem

Running a small business shouldn't mean retyping it.

Most SMEs write quotes in Word, send invoices from accounting software, order by email and track cash in a spreadsheet. Paylists replaces that patchwork with one connected system for sales, purchasing, projects and cash flow, and Lister does the typing.

Before

The same data, typed four times

Customer, prices and VAT re-entered for the quote, the order, the invoice and the spreadsheet. Every copy is another chance for a mistake.

With Paylists

Lister builds each document from your own records in one sentence. Much faster, and more accurate, because the numbers come straight from your data.

Before

E-invoicing deadlines, no IT team

Structured e-invoicing is becoming mandatory across Europe, and a PDF by email no longer counts in more and more countries.

With Paylists

Send and receive Peppol e-invoices in 7 countries from day one, with no technical setup.

Before

Cash surprises

You find out money is short when the bank balance tells you, usually too late to do anything about it.

With Paylists

Your forecast builds itself from quotes, orders, invoices and bills, and Lister warns you weeks before a gap appears.

01 · Lister

Write it the way you'd say it.

Type a request or upload a brief. Lister works inside Paylists with your real customers, vendors, prices and history. It drafts the document for you to check, so nothing goes out until you send it.

Quotation“Quote Harbour Dental for 3 days' installation at €600 a day.”

Customer, lines, VAT and validity filled in from your records.

Sales order“Harbour Dental accepted. Book the order for next Monday.”

The accepted quote becomes an order without retyping a line.

Purchase order“Order 40 brackets from Rivet Components at €2.10 each.”

Uses the vendor's agreed terms and adds the spend to your forecast.

Insight“Who owes me money this month, and who's usually late?”

Plain answers from your invoices, payments and cash flow.
