5 Ways WhatsApp Integration Transforms Busy Accounting Workflows

Indian businesses using Busy Accounting Software process thousands of invoices, receipts, and ledgers daily. Yet many still rely on manual follow-ups, phone calls, and printed statements. WhatsApp integration changes everything.

The Traditional Workflow Problem

Consider a typical distributor using Busy:

• Invoice Delivery: Print, scan, email, or WhatsApp manually

• Payment Reminders: Phone calls to each customer

• Balance Inquiries: Daily calls asking "What's my outstanding?"

• Ledger Requests: Generate PDF, find email, send, follow up

• Receipt Sharing: Print, scan, send individually

This consumes hours of productive time daily. WhatsApp automation eliminates these bottlenecks.

5 Transformation Benefits

1. Automated Invoice & Receipt Delivery

Before: Staff manually sends each invoice after creation.

After: Invoice saved in Busy → Instant WhatsApp delivery with PDF.

Customer receives:
