QuickOffice Pro was built from the ground up for small business owners! How'd we get there?
The QuickOffice Pro story begins back in March 2001, when I was running my own software development company. When it came to invoicing and billing clients Microsoft Word and MS Excel were great! But to keep track of each individual document or spread sheet invoice system was frustrating and time consuming to say the very least, as you can imagine! Been there done that, yes?
You know the old story… trying to find the last invoice you did some 3 days ago, then over typing in a new invoice number onto it to use the same doc again, or trying to find the last invoice because the client didn't pay some 45 days ago because you forgot to re-invoice them to get paid!

I still new it was a winner, so I shifted into top gear and ran my small office from the back of my garage for the next 3 years, and despite all the evidence pointing to a failure, I carried on. Why? Because I knew the frustrations that I started off with and I also knew the same path thousands of other micro to small business owners where about to take, or would be facing when first starting off in their business. I had a drive and a passion for serving future customers, and working for them to make business life a hell of a lot easier.
