Testimonials
We were the first Pencil customer. We are in a complicated sector that includes selling goods & services, plus logistics, plus billing, plus collections, plus admin. Their knowledge has helped us not have to worry about billing, collections and a hell of a lot of admin, so we can focus on selling and delivering.

I have seen the journey of Pencil from a customer led idea, to a customer centric business operation delivering real value and real results.
Trevor Townsend

We got in touch with Pencil because of their credit forms. We process multiple invoices per month and were invoicing all of them. Pencil has saved us a hell of a lot of time by getting these customers signed up to direct debit agreements, so we don’t have to chase cash any more.
