Usually most of the posts on this site are tutorials or marketing lists that help you with your internet marketing. Well, today I am going to talk about the life blood of any marketing company (or company in general)- CLIENTS. Everyone needs clients but not everyone has a solid way to keep track and invoice those clients.
Today I found a great piece of FREE and OPEN SOURCE software. It is called My Client Base and it is a web based invoice management system (juicy anchor text 
. I immediately installed it on a sub domain to see what it is all about and let me tell you, it’s great. Written in PHP and on top of the excellent CodeIgniter framework, MyClientBase has a proven and solid foundation. Built-in modularity gives developers a pathway to write custom modules and let me tell you, there are endless improvements to be made to client invoice management software. This software may be in its infancy, but I know good stuff when I see it and this one is good stuff. How do I know that? Because without being paid, contacted or having any affiliation with My Client Base, I am still writing this post right now!
OK, so enough talk, let’s look at the actual specs of the project and if you want to skip that and just download it right now you can get it here.
"MyClientBase is and always will be a community driven project which aims to provide freelancers with a simple and intuitive invoice management system." Straight from the site you can see the four key features that make this system look pretty nice to freelancers and even smaller agencies.
1.)Organize your clients.
Keep on top of everything, all with simple and effective client data management.
2.) Manage invoices
Invoices are easy to manage. Highly customizable options and features provide a powerful invoicing solution.
3.) Completely web based
Your data, your server. Install MyClientBase on your own server and keep your confidential information away from prying eyes.
4.) Stable foundation
Written in PHP and on top of the excellent CodeIgniter framework, MyClientBase has a proven and solid foundation. Built-in modularity gives developers a pathway to write custom modules.
So all in all I totally recommend My Client Base and I really look forward to seeing this puppy flourish. I am going to work on a PayPal integration myself and send over the code as soon as it’s finished. Freelancers love Pay Pal.
