Ecobillz product suite helps digitise paper bills

Ecobillz envision a world without paper!

Paper is something that has become so ubiquitous with our lives that is impossible to miss. Do you know? In India alone, each day a whopping 60 lac mtrs of paper is being used up to print paper bills.
Wonder how many of us really actually use a bill after we verify it once at the billing counter? The answer sure is – very few people save bills for future. Most of us simply bin them. Its such a massive waste.

The statistics of paper industry is like this: to produce just 50,000 A4 size papers about 150 trees are felled plus 526 ptrs of Oil is burnt + 3,000 ltrs of water is consumed. What a waste of natural resources. This gave birth to Ecobillz.com
Ecobillz is an Innovative Digitization technology that acts as a communication vehicle, with limitless marketing possibilities to empower you with complete digitization of your billing process. Best Part: there is absolutely no change in a merchant’s existing system, process and/or operations.

How it works?

Team built the technology ground up in such a way that there is absolutely no change required at the merchant’s billing process. He/She continues to use the same billing software and the same printer, etc. Our solution plugs into almost any POS software and generates a digital bill when you provide customers mobile number.

Retail Shop Scenario:

1. At checkout, customer checks the items on the billing counter screen itself

2. Customer makes payment

3. Merchant prints the bill as usual via his/her billing software.

4. Ecobillz pops up and ask if digital bill is required? Merchant adds customer phone number.

5. Customer receives digital bill on phone via SMS.

Restaurant Scenario:

1. Customer asked for bill at the table.

2. The waiter asks cashier to generate bill.

3. Customer receives bill on the phone.

Story so far:

Within 5 months, they have not only built the technology but also got several early customers (Mayur Aaditya Resort, Clarks Inn Hubli, Seven Days supermarket, etc.
