SmartBill vs Oblio
Quick answer
Two popular Romanian invoicing tools; both excel at invoice issuance and e-Factura, but neither covers the operational flow before and after the invoice.

SmartBill vs Oblio - in short
SmartBill and Oblio are strong Romanian cloud invoicing tools. Both issue PDF + XML invoices, auto-submit e-Factura via SPV, and handle proformas, collections and basic reports. Differences are price, UI, adjacent modules and integrations.
What neither solves
Invoicing software starts at the invoice. The real problem for distributors and manufacturers is before and after: the order (field agent, B2B portal, EDI, marketplace), stock allocation, delivery, e-Transport, reconciliation and complex returns (SAF-T, D394).
Where CRMconnect fits
CRMconnect doesn't replace SmartBill or Oblio - it runs on top (Smart Layer): capturing orders across channels, managing stock and delivery, while the invoice is still issued in SmartBill / Oblio.
Real-world example
A distributor with 40 field agents used SmartBill for invoices, but orders came via WhatsApp and were re-keyed. With CRMconnect on top, the agent's order becomes an invoice in SmartBill automatically.
