Avsaro business portal
Setting up a good quote takes effort. Arranging a digital signature is a hassle. And for a single job you quickly need four different programs. Avsaro does it all in one portal, in your own installation that Assist2go hosts and looks after for you.

01From Assist2go
Why we built it
We were already working with our own solution for quotes and invoices. Our clients often asked about it: how do I set up a good quote, how do I get a signature without the hassle, and why do I need a separate program for every step? That is what we built Avsaro from, for anyone who handles their own sales. Everything you need around a job now lives in one place, and we enjoy working with it ourselves.
One portal
Why Avsaro, and not a pile of separate programs
For many business owners a job now runs through four programs: a Word file for the quote, a separate service for the signature, another program for the invoice and yet another for the payment. Separate programs often charge per user per month, and together that quickly adds up to tens of euros a month, with you tying it all together yourself.
Avsaro does it all in one portal. One fixed price, with no charge per user, per document or per signature. And you can try it for thirty minutes first, without an account.
Why Avsaro
What makes Avsaro different
Seven things you can check for yourself.
One fixed price
€495 to set up and €150 a month, both excluding VAT, for a minimum of 12 months and cancellable monthly after that. There is no charge per user, per document or per signature.
Everything in one line
Your client signs online, the deposit and final invoice are ready, payment runs through iDEAL and everything is prepared for your accounting software. You type an amount once.
A signature with evidence
You record who signed, when, and what was shown, with a certificate that anyone can check.
Hosted and maintained by Assist2go
We are based in Woudenberg and use servers in Europe. We make a backup every night plus a copy outside the server, and we run updates at night whenever we can.

A call with us
Prefer to do it together? Fill in the form and we contact you. We walk you through Avsaro, answer your questions and look at what fits your quotes and invoices.
What you do with it
Your sales in one place
You create a quote with items your client chooses, and the total updates as they do. After approval, draft invoices for the deposit and the final invoice are ready. Subscriptions create their own draft invoice and you decide whether to check it first.
Your client pays with iDEAL (if you connect Mollie) or by bank transfer. Your reports show revenue, receivables and recurring revenue, with csv and pdf export for your accountant.
Your client signs on their own
Your client receives a personal link, no account needed. They approve in three steps: details and checkboxes, a signature and a confirmation code by e-mail. It works on a phone, too.
The approval is recorded in an evidence file with a certificate that you can have verified. It is a simple electronic signature with an evidence file, not a qualified signature.
An IT partner that keeps it running
Assist2go is an IT company in Woudenberg with more than 20 years of experience in websites, software, management and hosting for small and medium-sized businesses. Avsaro is only provided together with hosting and support from us. You have one point of contact who also knows your domain, your mail and your website.
02What is included
Everything for your sales, from quote to payment
- Quotes with sections, lines, optional items, discounts and templates in Dutch and English
- Digital approval with an evidence file and a page where anyone can verify a document
- Invoices, deposit invoices, final invoices and credit notes with continuous numbering
- Payment with iDEAL through your own Mollie account, or with the bank details and copy buttons on the invoice page
- A copy of your invoices by e-mail to the Exact Online digital mailbox (not a direct link), and signed quotes in your OneDrive (with Exact and Microsoft 365)
- Subscriptions per month, quarter or year
- Reports and exports for your accountant
- Two-step verification, encrypted secrets and retention periods
03Demo
What a business portal looks like
In just over six minutes you see how a quote is made, signed and paid, and how your records keep themselves up to date. The portal in the film belongs to a fictional company, Studio Voorbeeld.
The narration in this film is spoken by a computer voice.
Read the text of the full film
The spoken text of the film. You can also switch on subtitles in the player.
This is Avsaro, the business portal by Assist2go.
You open the portal and see right away where you stand: what is outstanding, what is overdue and what needs your attention today. Studio Voorbeeld is made up for this demo. When a customer pays late, you record the payment with one click on Betaald. Your subscriptions are there too, with the date of the next invoice.
Now a new quote. You click Offerte maken, pick the customer from your own list and start from a template, for example for a website or web shop. Text and terms are already in place.
In the editor you give the quote a title and read the introduction that is already written. What you deliver and what is not included sit in fixed text blocks, which prevents disputes later. Prices come from your service register and the total updates instantly, VAT included. A discount is a percentage or an amount. You set how long the quote is valid and which down payment you ask for, here thirty percent. In the live preview you see what your customer will read, before anything is sent.
Before sending, the portal checks the quote for missing details. You see exactly who receives the email. Once sent, the quote gets a fixed number, and the portal shows when your customer opens it.
Your customer gets a clean email with the quote as a PDF, your terms and a personal link. One click is enough.
The customer reads the quote on a page of their own, on phone, tablet or computer. Everything is in there: what you deliver, what it costs and how payment works. Optional items are chosen by the customer. Then comes the acceptance, in three steps. First the details and the confirmation of your terms. Then a signature, with a mouse or a finger, or typed via Schrijven. Finally a code by email, confirming it really is the customer. The portal keeps everything in an evidence file. The customer sees their acceptance with name, date and signature and gets the signed PDF.
Back in your portal the quote shows as accepted. The down payment invoice and the final invoice are already waiting as drafts. The timeline shows what happened, and the signed PDF with certificate is stored with the quote and also saved in OneDrive.
You review the down payment invoice with one click. The portal compares it with the signed quote, and you see the email your customer will get. Then you finalise and send it in one step: invoice number, PDF, email and a copy for Exact and OneDrive. For each part you see the status.
The customer opens the invoice on a page of their own. Paying with iDEAL runs through your own Mollie account. A bank transfer works too, with copy buttons for the details.
When a transfer arrives, you record the payment with one click on Betaald. Date and amount are already filled in. The invoice shows as paid, reminders stop and the figures are up to date.
The portal processes an iDEAL payment by itself. The invoice then shows as paid.
For recurring services, such as hosting or support, you use subscriptions. You set amount, VAT and payment term once. After that the portal creates the invoice every month. You choose whether it goes out at once or comes by first.
Under Rapporten you find revenue, VAT and outstanding amounts, calculated from your invoices. You choose a month, a quarter or a full year. Revenue is shown per month. The VAT on your sales is ready per quarter and per rate, to help with your VAT return. Under Debiteuren you see who still has to pay and for how long. And for your accountant you export everything as a CSV with one click.
All your customers sit in one list, with search and filters. In the customer file you see revenue and what is still outstanding, with the quotes, invoices and subscriptions of that customer below it.
An invoice you no longer want in view, you archive with a reason. The reason stays with the document. You find it again with the filter Gearchiveerd. And if you change your mind, one click puts it back.
Signing in takes a second step: a code from your authenticator app, with recovery codes as backup.
From quote to payment, all in one flow. Avsaro, the business portal by Assist2go. Want to know more? Visit avsaro.com.
The screens show sample data in Dutch.
- A quote your customer signs online themselves, with a signature and a code by email.
- An invoice your customer can also pay with iDEAL, after which your records update themselves.
- A copy of every invoice sent to Exact and the signed quote saved automatically in OneDrive.
- Reports and VAT that are always up to date, because they are based on the invoices themselves.
04Package
What you get and how we work
What you get
The portal, working and hosted by us, at its own address. For us everything matters: we do everything we can to keep it up to date and working well. If something does not work, we pull out all the stops to fix it. We fix a fault in Avsaro itself at no cost. On top of that you have 1.5 hours of support every month for questions, explanations and help with your settings.
How we work
- We keep an eye on things in the background to see whether everything runs well. We do that even when you do not call, and it does not come out of your hours.
- We carry out updates at night as much as possible. We try to make sure you notice as little as possible.
- We always ask about your wishes. If you want a certain feature, you share it with us and we include it in a later update if it is feasible. That is not a promise: we first look at whether it can be done.
- Of the 1.5 hours per month, only support at your request counts, such as questions, explanations and help with your settings. The background check, updates and fixing faults in Avsaro itself do not count. What you do not use in a month does not carry over to the next month. At 75 and at 100 percent of the time you get a message.
What you can expect from us
- One point of contact: Assist2go, through info@assist2go.nl or the contact form.
- Support Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00.
- Honest advice on what fits you best.
What counts as extra work
Support beyond the 1.5 hours per month and other work outside the subscription is charged separately at an hourly rate, excluding VAT. We tell you in advance and only start after your approval by e-mail. Examples:
- Custom work: a new feature, a different report, a different quote layout.
- Extra integrations with other systems.
- Migrations: taking over clients, quotes or invoices from another system.
- Training and workshops for your team.
- Fixing problems caused by changes made by you or by a third party.
- Work on your own hardware, network, website or mail outside the portal.
Example
Example: how much time it saves
Example with assumptions
This is a worked example with assumptions that you can change yourself in the calculator on avsaro.com. It is not a client story.
An invented web designer makes 10 quotes a month. In Word each quote takes about 30 minutes, plus 10 minutes for follow-up and retyping into an invoice: just over 6.5 hours a month. With Avsaro he expects about 12 minutes per quote, so 2 hours. The difference is over 4 hours a month. At an example rate of 75 euros an hour, 4 hours comes to 300 euros of time.
Calculate with your own figures05Price
What Avsaro costs
We set the exact contents and price in a proposal.
Purchase and set-up
€495
one-off, excluding VAT
The portal at its own address, set up with your company details, logo and services.
Hosting, management and support
€150
per month, excluding VAT
Hosting and maintenance by us and 1.5 hours of support per month.
Extra work
Separate, agreed in advance
Support beyond the 1.5 hours and other work outside the subscription is charged separately at an hourly rate, excluding VAT.
The subscription has an initial term of 12 months. After that it continues month by month. You cancel up to one month before the end of the current period, also before the end of the first 12 months (see our general terms).
What does iDEAL through Mollie cost?
If you want your clients to pay with iDEAL, you connect your own Mollie account to your portal. Mollie charges an amount per payment. You pay that to Mollie, not to us. Rates can change, so check mollie.com for the current price.
You do not need Mollie to use the portal. Without Mollie your client pays by bank transfer. The bank details are on the invoice page with copy buttons and you mark the payment yourself.

07Alongside your accounting
Honest about what Avsaro is and is not
Avsaro is made for the business owner who handles their own sales: one owner, one overview. If you have a team with separate logins and roles for employees, Avsaro is not the right choice at the moment. Avsaro is not accounting software, does not file VAT returns and works alongside your accountant's package. The signature is a simple electronic signature with an evidence file, not a qualified signature, and it has not yet been reviewed legally.
Avsaro handles your sales, from quote to payment, and provides reports and exports for your accountant. Invoices can go as a copy by e-mail to the Exact Online digital mailbox. That is not a direct link with Exact. Your bookkeeping and VAT returns stay in the package you use now. Your quotes, invoices, e-mails and client pages are also available in English. Sending mail runs through Microsoft 365.
08Frequently asked questions
What entrepreneurs ask about Avsaro
Why not just use Word and Excel?
You can, and you already have them. But then you do the calculating, remembering and following up yourself, and the proof of an agreement is an email in your inbox. Avsaro does that for you and records it.
Isn't it more expensive than separate programs?
For one person with only a quoting program it can be. With Avsaro you pay for everything in one place, your own installation, hosting and maintenance, and you save the time spent retyping and tying things together. Work it out in the calculator on avsaro.com.
What if I want to stop?
After the first 12 months you cancel monthly, with one month's notice. You can export your data.
Does Avsaro work alongside my accounting package?
Yes. Avsaro handles your sales and provides reports and exports for your accountant. Invoices can go as a copy by e-mail to your Exact Online mailbox, without a direct link. Your bookkeeping and VAT returns stay in the package you use now.
Is the approval legally binding?
The approval is a simple electronic signature with an evidence file and a certificate that you can have verified. It is not a qualified signature and the arrangement has not been legally reviewed. For an unusually large contract it is wise to consult a lawyer.
Do I need Microsoft 365?
Yes, Avsaro sends your quotes and invoices through your Microsoft 365 mailbox, so they come from your own e-mail address.
What does it cost?
A one-off amount of €495 and then €150 per month, both excluding VAT, with hosting, maintenance and 1.5 hours of support per month. Extra work is charged separately.
Are there extra costs?
For extra work, and for iDEAL you pay Mollie an amount per transaction. Not without Mollie.
Do unused hours carry over?
No. The 1.5 hours of support apply per month and do not carry over.
Can I see it first?
Yes. You can try it yourself for 30 minutes in your own demo environment with invented data, or request a call with us.
Who is Avsaro for?
For freelancers and small businesses who want to keep their quotes and invoices in their own hands. Your client does not need to create an account.
