Desarrollo de un sistema facturador web para pequeñas y medianas empresas

Abstract

Generally, small and medium-sized companies carry out their invoicing processes by means of formats established physically by means of corporate stationery; this can cause longer invoicing times since it is necessary to fill out the invoice and sometimes mistakes can be made when adding the information, which implies changing the format and repeating the process. In addition, information may be lost due to the physical wear and tear of the billing stubs or even their misplacement, thus preventing good organization. In addition, this procedure generates higher costs in stationery for companies, does not guarantee the preservation of information and is not environmentally friendly; thus, the invoicing and management process becomes tedious and impractical for SMEs. In order to avoid the aforementioned situations, it is proposed to develop a web based invoicing system that allows processing the information required by small and medium-sized companies to improve organizationally the invoicing process. For the development of the web billing system, an analysis of applications similar to the one developed and of different technologies that would provide an efficient solution to the proposed objectives was carried out. Therefore, use was made of REST web services that communicate through the JAVA language and the JavaScript React library. Additionally, the project was developed following the guidelines of the agile Scrum methodology.
