ROI Impact

How This Automation Works
Job Completion Status Update → Professional Invoice Created and Delivered
Job Completion Detected
The system continuously monitors your job management platform for status changes. When an electrical job is marked as complete by technicians or dispatchers, the automation immediately captures the job ID and begins the invoice generation sequence.
Extract Job and Labor Data
All relevant job information is automatically retrieved including customer details, service address, job description, technician names, clock-in/out times, total labor hours, and hourly rates or flat-rate pricing based on the service type performed.
Compile Materials and Costs
The system pulls itemized materials used from inventory tracking, equipment rental charges, permit fees, inspection costs, disposal fees, and any additional expenses recorded during the job. Each item includes quantity, unit price, and extended totals.
Calculate Totals and Taxes
All line items are summed to create subtotals. The system automatically applies appropriate sales tax rates based on service location and tax regulations, adds any applicable service fees, and calculates the final invoice total with proper tax documentation.
Format Professional Invoice
Job data is inserted into your branded invoice template with company logo, contact information, invoice number, date, payment terms, due date, and itemized breakdown. The invoice is formatted in PDF for professional appearance and easy client record-keeping.
Deliver and Store Invoice
The completed invoice is automatically emailed to the client with payment instructions and secure payment links. Simultaneously, copies are saved to your accounting system, document management platform, and customer record for tracking, reconciliation, and audit purposes.
How It Works
Manual invoice creation after completing electrical jobs wastes valuable time and introduces errors that delay payment. This automation instantly generates professional electrical invoices by pulling data from your job management system, timesheet tracking, and materials inventory. The moment a job is marked complete, the system compiles all labor hours, material costs, permit fees, and service charges into a formatted invoice with your branding, tax calculations, and payment terms. Invoices are automatically sent to clients via email with payment links, eliminating the administrative bottleneck between job completion and payment collection. Reduce invoice creation time from 15-20 minutes per job to seconds, ensure consistent pricing accuracy, and accelerate cash flow by getting invoices to clients immediately while details are fresh.
The Trigger
When an electrical job is marked as complete in your job management system, project tracking tool, or service dispatch platform, the automation immediately initiates the invoice generation process. This trigger captures all relevant job data including work performed, time spent, materials consumed, and any additional charges.
The Action
The system automatically compiles all job information, labor hours, material costs, and applicable taxes into a professionally formatted electrical invoice. The invoice includes your company branding, itemized line items, payment terms, and is immediately sent to the client via email with convenient payment options. A copy is saved to your accounting system and document storage for records.
