Slate

Slate is a free online invoicing and business-document platform for businesses in Israel. It brings invoices, receipts, quotes, reports and everyday bookkeeping into one browser-based system. Freelancers, exempt dealers, licensed dealers and companies can choose the document types that fit their business. Unlimited documents, businesses, customers and items are available under Slate's terms, with no credit card required and no trial period that ends.

Documents include tax invoices, combined tax invoices and receipts, receipts, transaction invoices, price quotes, orders, payment requests, delivery notes and credit invoices. Users add the customer and line items, review VAT and totals, then issue a numbered document and download or send its PDF. The system presents document types appropriate to the business type, helping users avoid issuing a document their business cannot use.

Digital signatures are applied on the server when a document is issued, without a smart card or software installation. Issued documents are locked against editing; corrections use the appropriate credit-document process. Each document includes a QR code and a public verification link. Customers can check whether the signature is valid and the document has changed, then download the PDF without opening an account.

Slate connects to Israel Invoice allocation numbers from the Israel Tax Authority. Where an allocation number is needed, the request is sent automatically and the number appears on the document. This keeps allocation-number handling alongside document issuance rather than as a separate manual task. Businesses should follow the current requirements that apply to their transactions.

Reports help users understand their books: periodic VAT, detailed VAT in PCN874 format, profit and loss, aged receivables, income by month and customer, sales by item and receipts by payment method. Accountant access and uniform-format exports support work with the people who handle the business's accounts. AI assistance is available alongside the invoicing and reporting tools.

Multiple businesses can be managed under one account. Each business has its own numbering, template and logo, and users can switch between businesses. Customer and item records support repeat work without rebuilding every document from scratch. Slate combines these records with document creation and reports so everyday financial work stays in one place.

Businesses moving from another system can import a uniform-format file, Excel or CSV. A reconciliation report is shown before data is written. Historical information is kept separately from live document numbering, allowing users to retain earlier records while continuing to issue new documents through Slate.

Slate supports documents in English and foreign currencies as well as Hebrew. English and foreign-currency documents use the same numbering sequence and digital-signature process. The exchange rate is signed with the document, and the amount in Israeli shekels is retained for reporting. The complete interface can also switch to English, including menus, forms, error messages and document names, with a left-to-right layout.

The platform works in a web browser on a computer, phone or tablet. On mobile it can be added to the home screen and opened full screen without an app-store download. This makes it practical to manage documents while away from a desk, using the same online business account.

Additional tools on Slate include a digital business card and pension and study-fund simulations. The central focus remains online invoicing for Israeli businesses: prepare documents, issue signed PDFs, handle allocation numbers, follow business reports, import earlier records and give accountants access. Visit the official website to explore the demo, review the current terms and open an account. Getting started means entering business details once, choosing a document type, adding a customer and line items, reviewing the sum and issuing a PDF.
