Sound familiar? A shop has the same customers every month and the same questions every quarter.
I retype the same service invoice for the same customers every month.
Prices live in my head, on a price list and in three different quotes.
At quarter end my bookkeeper asks for receipts I can no longer find.
How Backbone fits. A catalogue, a schedule and a tidy end of the month.
01 · Products
One list for what you sell.
Keep services and goods with SKU, category and price. Pick them as lines when you write an invoice or a quote.
- Products and services with SKU and price
- Price rules per product, customer group or customer
- Pick a product as a line item
02 · Recurring
Regulars are billed on a schedule.
Turn an invoice into a rule: every month, quarter or year. Send it automatically, or review each draft before it goes.
- Monthly, quarterly or yearly rules
- Automatic sending or a draft to review
- Pause, edit or delete a rule any time
03 · Books
Receipts matched, month end handed over.
Receipts and statements go in as they come. At month end your bookkeeper gets one named ZIP, or a login of their own.
- Receipts matched to payments
- A readiness list for what is still missing
- A free Bookkeeper seat

What you get. Everything a small shop needs today.
Or just ask. Say it in a sentence, in Backbone or in your AI tool.
Which invoices are overdue, and who is next in line for a reminder?
- Overdue 2 invoices · €1,040.00
- Next reminder Gasthof Lindner · 1st notice in 3 days
Shall I pause the reminder for Gasthof Lindner?
