Auto-Invoice from Completed Jobs
The Problem
You finish a job, get busy with the next one, and invoicing falls through the cracks for days. Delayed invoicing means delayed payments. The average contractor has $8,000-$15,000 in unbilled completed work at any given time. Every day you delay an invoice is a day you delay getting paid — and the longer you wait, the harder it is to collect.
The Automation
When a job is marked complete, an invoice auto-generates from the estimate/job details and sends to the customer within minutes — with an online payment link (Stripe/Square). The invoice syncs to QuickBooks, and if unpaid after 3 days, an automated reminder sequence begins.
The Benefit
Average time to payment drops from 14 days to 2-3 days. No more chasing payments manually. No more forgetting to invoice. Your bookkeeper is happy because QuickBooks stays in sync. You get paid faster and spend zero time on invoicing admin — saving 3-5 hours per week.
