CMC Dispatch vs Keel

dispatch program with integrated expense and timeoff request

Keel is the fast, private Customer 1st Working Ledger built for independent contractors, solo consultants, freelancers, trades, and self-employed owners. Most bookkeeping apps force you into 14-field accounting forms, modal sheets, cloud logins, and recurring monthly subscriptions just to send an invoice or log a receipt. Keel is built to feel like a natural extension of how you work: navigate Today, Customers, and Money in one thumb tap, type one plain-English line or bare number in the Dock, resolve quotes, invoices, terms, and receipts inline with zero form sheets, sync seamlessly with the companion iCloud Web Workspace, export a BLAKE3-verified Customer Legal Dossier, or generate a 5-folder All-in-One Business & Tax Pack—100% on your Apple devices and private iCloud with zero developer servers. ZERO-SHEET INLINE DOCK & PROSTHETIC LIMB REFLEX • Bare-Amount Vendor & Mileage Reflex: Type "Harrington $120 lumber, 18 mi"—or simply type "84.50" at the supply house or "24" in the truck. Keel recalls your habitual vendor and route from ledger history and lets you flip between Billable Invoice + Supply and Overhead Tax Shield in 1 tap. • Zero-Form-Sheet Inline Outcome & Exception Bar: Convert a quote to an invoice, stamp an invoice paid, adjust Net 14d/30d terms or a -5% discount, or type "change 62.25 to 71.50" / "due 14d" directly in the Dock without opening a single multi-field form sheet. • Unified Customer · Job · Money Glass Lens & Route-Aware Job Magnet: Always see your active Customer, Job, Billed/Spent balance, and live Net Margin % in one compact lens above the Dock—automatically locked to the job or warranty visit on screen. • Full Web & iPhone iCloud Continuity: Set up your Business Profile and log clients, jobs, quotes/invoices, expenses, and mileage trips in the Keel Web Workspace—then pick up right where you left off on your iPhone via your private iCloud container. CUSTOMER LEGAL DOSSIER & UNLIMITED FREE INVOICING • 1-Tap Customer Legal Dossier (PDF + ZIP): Export a chronological, BLAKE3 hash-chain verified Customer Record & Evidence Dossier with quotes, signed approvals, invoices, payments, job receipts, and site mileage. • Unlimited Free Invoices & Quotes: Draft itemized estimates and Factur-X hybrid PDF invoices with deposits, tax rates, payment links, and your custom logo and signature. • Switch & Import in 1 Tap: Import historical CSV or ZIP exports from QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Jobber, Joist, Invoice Simple, Wave, Xero, FreeAgent, Tradify, or Fergus. ON-DEVICE RECEIPT OCR & STATUTORY MILEAGE LOGBOOK • Camera Receipt Scanner: On-device Vision OCR extracts merchant, date, total, and tax offline with automatic duplicate-receipt merging. • Statutory Mileage Logbook: Rate-stamped calculations for US IRS ($0.70/mi for 2025; $0.76/mi from July 1, 2026; $0.725/mi Jan–Jun 2026), UK HMRC AMAP (45p/25p per mile), Canada CRA tiered km rates, Australia ATO (91c/km for 2026–27; 88c/km for 2025–26), and New Zealand IRD ($1.17/km). ONE COMPLETE 5-FOLDER PACK ($49.99) OR LIFETIME • Unlimited daily quoting, invoicing, receipt scanning, and mileage logging are free. • When you need an official export (Monthly, Quarterly, Annual, Multi-Year, or Full Archive), get the Complete Business & Tax Pack ($49.99) containing all 5 folders (1_Tax_Return_Ready, 2_Income_Proof_For_Banks, 3_Customers_and_Jobs, 4_Receipts_and_Invoices_Vault, 5_Accountant_Software_Import + 00_Interactive_Browser.html), or unlock Keel Pro Lifetime with zero subscription renewals.
