The Problem We Set Out to Solve

Freelancers and small business owners face a common struggle: managing invoices, clients, and projects across scattered spreadsheets, apps, and paper trails. The administrative burden of creating professional invoices, tracking payments, and managing client relationships takes away precious time that could be spent on actual work.

We built Wageasy to solve this problem — a single app that handles everything from client management to project tracking to professional PDF invoice generation, all without the complexity or high costs of traditional business software.

Core Features: Everything in One Place

Invoice Creation That Takes Seconds

Creating a professional invoice shouldn't take 30 minutes. With Wageasy, you can generate clean, branded invoices in seconds. Auto-generated invoice numbers, customizable templates, and instant PDF export mean you go from "project complete" to "invoice sent" in under a minute.

The dashboard gives you a real-time view of paid, pending, and overdue invoices — so you always know where your money stands.

Smart Client & Project Management

No more digging through emails to find client details. Wageasy stores all your client information in one organized place, with quick access to their invoice history and project details. Track active and inactive clients, manage contact information, and see the full picture of each business relationship.

Project tracking includes visual timelines, progress monitoring, and budget tracking. Link invoices directly to projects and get deadline reminders so nothing slips through the cracks.
