Thank you for your question Seitler. Dod-dle is designed to be so simple that most people can use it with ease. It is the simplicity that we believe makes it most appealing to small businesses and which sets it aside from other programmes. However, as Rob mentioned in this great article, dod-dle offers many features that wouldn't normally be expected with a programme designed to be so simple and we are adding more features all the time. For example, many accountants we met at Accountex asked for a feature to download the trial balance in CSV. We have now added this facility. We offer a free trial of both 'dod-dle' and 'dod-dle cash'so I would encourage you to try it and see what you think of it.
Was at AccountEx both days and must admit I didn't see your stand....or if I did it didn't register what you were offering.
Could you put a link to your free trial as it might be worth looking at.
Hi Bosclibby,
Oh dear, I'm sorry we missed you. We found that as we aren't a recognised name it was sometimes hard to catch visitors attention. However, when we did get to speak to accountants we had a really positive reaction. "Software for carrier bag men" was one of our opening lines!
We offer a free trial to both 'dod-dle' and 'dod-dle cash'. I suggest you try the cash basis one first, then road test the other. The free trial can be accessed from our website: www.dod-dle.co.uk, just click the round "Free Trial" button in the top right corner. However, a better way to access both is to sign up to our Accountants Hub here: https://www.dod-dle.co.uk/accountants_hub. You can then see how that works and still have free trials of both dod-dle products.
I hope you enjoy using dod-dle and sorry, again, that we didn't get the chance to chat with you at Accountex.
Well done for developing this but I had two questions:
1 What happens if a sole trader becomes VAT registered - will they have to change software?
2 Where do you see the product as positioning itself in the market? I can offer FreeAgent to sole traders for around £10 a month so £20 plus VAT a month looks high when your software looks like a simplified version of FreeAgent?
Hi Matrix,
Thankyou, that's kind of you and I will try and answer your questions.
We will be releasing "dod-dle VAT" in the future, along with a programme for small limited companies. These, however, won't be available until later in the year as we are currently working on making dod-dle ready for the public beta testing of MTD first.
Dod-dle cash is £10.00 a month plus VAT and is our cash basis option. I have developed both versions of dod-dle for those clients that have no knowledge of bookkeeping and want a simple to use, easy to understand option ready for MTD. There is also quite a lot of hand-holding, such as an online help section, help videos available and online chat although dod-dle is so simple we find that nearly everyone can use it straight away.
In answer to your question, then, dod-dle is aiming to be the easiest, simplest, online bookkeeping solution.
Please feel free to take advantage of our free trials, our accountant's hub is permanently free to use and you can add dummy clients to try out dod-dle for yourself and see what you think.
