HissenIT InvoiceCreator

As you can figure out just by reading its name, HissenIT InvoiceCreator provides a software utility for generating invoices. It uses data inside a CSV file as a source to create the financial documents, structuring the design of the resulting invoice based on HTML and CSS templates. In other words, it is different from other invoice creation tools where you must fill in a form to generate the output document.

The application is easily installed, and a new folder is created in the same location as the installer. This directory contains the executable file, various templates for the HTML design, and a demo CSV format, which you can freely customize using a dedicated application with editing functionality for CSV documents. Both the demo CSV file and the available templates can be used for free.

HissenIT InvoiceCreator reads tabular information from the input CSV file, which means you can use the demo as an example and create your own templates, each for different use cases. Moreover, the application allows you to use templates in any language.

The design of the resulting invoice depends on the HTML/CSS templates. The list of articles in the invoice is created by using the data in the CSV document. The variables in the HTML template match the column names in the CSV file, meaning that you can easily extend the number of articles.

The invoices are created fairly quickly and saved as PDF files in the same installation folder. To facilitate printing, HissenIT InvoiceCreator generates a collection of merged invoices in a single PDF file and opens the output location once the conversion is completed.

While it might not match your expectations when looking for an invoice generator, HissenIT InvoiceCreator does work as promised, creating invoices and other documents out if tabular information stored in CSV files. However, operating it is cumbersome, since it needs you to fully understand the structure of the input CSV files and create your own templates, which might take time. Developers prompt you to contact them for using the application with databases or as a web service.
