This case study delves deeper into the transformative impact of Daya, an innovative platform that revolutionizes accounting, invoicing, communication, and pricing. Daya's user-friendly online environment and efficient tools empower accountants and clients to collaborate seamlessly, streamlining bookkeeping and financial management processes.

Background

Daya was developed with a clear vision: to create a platform that enhances collaboration between accountants and their clients in an enjoyable and productive manner. By offering a comprehensive range of features, including document submission, invoice creation, communication tools, and transparent pricing, Daya aims to simplify accounting workflows and foster positive working relationships.

Key Features

• Easy Document Submission: Daya provides three convenient methods for clients to submit their bookkeeping documents. Users can capture photos using the Daya app, upload files directly from their computers, or send documents via email to their unique Daya address. This versatility ensures that clients can submit documents in their preferred way, while Daya automatically organizes and centralizes the information for streamlined bookkeeping.
• Clear Overview: Accountants are provided with a clear overview of all submitted documents within the platform. This overview enables them to track which clients have submitted what documents, facilitating effective task management and prioritization. The visual representation helps accountants plan their work efficiently, ensuring a smooth workflow.
• Automated Data Recognition: Daya incorporates a powerful scan and recognition module that automatically populates essential data fields. Invoice numbers, dates, customer details, and amounts (inclusive and exclusive of taxes) are intelligently extracted, significantly reducing the need for manual data entry. Over time, the system becomes smarter and more accurate, ultimately minimizing the effort required for data verification and entry.
• Invoicing Made Easy: The platform simplifies the invoicing process with its user-friendly invoicing module. Accountants and clients can effortlessly create professional invoices, with options for one-time or recurring billing. Daya also offers a straightforward process for sending reminders to clients who have outstanding payments. This feature streamlines the entire invoicing cycle, saving time and promoting timely payments.
• Seamless Communication: Daya fosters effective communication between accountants and clients. Users can ask questions about specific invoices, create tasks for clients, and track the progress of each task within the platform. This seamless communication streamlines the back-and-forth process and ensures that both accountants and clients have a clear understanding of their responsibilities, fostering a strong working relationship.
• OCR technology: Daya's platform incorporates advanced OCR technology, which allows for the efficient extraction of text and data from submitted documents. OCR technology enables the platform to recognize and convert printed or handwritten text into editable and searchable formats. By utilizing OCR, Daya automates the data entry process, reducing the time and effort required for manual data input. This feature not only enhances accuracy but also significantly speeds up the bookkeeping process, allowing accountants to focus on higher-value tasks.
