Firstly thanks MYOB for the latest update with online invoicing.
I am wondering if it would be possible to extend this feature to online quote roll out. For me this would be a very exciting feature, and much more valuable than online invoicing (although this is also a good step).
As many may be aware there are several popular platforms which allow you to send a link to your customers so they can view your quote. Quoteroller by PandaDoc is one such service. The only reason I have not started using a service like this is because I don't want to enter quotes into two systems.
Basically your customer is presented with a quote online and if they want to proceed they are required to view and accept your terms and conditions, which is recorded as a legal contract. I think this would be an invaluable feature which would make it so much easier to trade on your terms and prove that your customers have been informed of your terms and conditions of sale.
If the pay now feature similar to invoicing was also used to ask the customer to make a deposit/down payment in order to proceed with works, this would be an added bonus. (I am a trade contractor with most jobs valued between $1000-$3000 and low margins so I never proceed without a deposit)
I really think this would be a huge efficiency boost for a lot of businesses, in combination with paying invoices online and automatic payment entry into MYOB, this could reduce sales workloads very significantly, as well as ensuring proper sales contracts which is often neglected by small business. (Obviously it would be up to individual businesses to write their own contracts/terms and seek legal advice regarding this. Myob would just provide the facility to click and accept the terms/quote)
Thanks for your consideration
