How This Automation Works
Contract Billing Date Reached → Invoice Generated and Sent
Contract Schedule Monitoring
The system continuously monitors all active maintenance contracts and their billing schedules. It identifies upcoming billing dates based on contract terms, frequencies, and customer-specific requirements. Smart scheduling ensures invoices are prepared in advance of due dates.
Invoice Data Compilation
When a billing date arrives, the system automatically retrieves contract details including covered equipment, service levels, pricing terms, escalation clauses, and any adjustments. It calculates the correct billing amount, applies taxes, and formats invoice line items according to contract specifications.
Invoice Generation and Validation
The system creates professional invoices with all required details: customer information, contract references, equipment lists, service descriptions, payment terms, and due dates. Built-in validation checks ensure accuracy before finalization, flagging any discrepancies for review.
Multi-Channel Invoice Delivery
Completed invoices are automatically distributed through customer-preferred channels: email delivery with PDF attachments, posting to customer portals, integration with accounting systems, and creation of records in financial databases. Delivery confirmation is tracked and logged.
Payment Monitoring and Reminders
The system tracks payment status and automatically sends reminders according to your schedule. Pre-due date courtesy notices, payment confirmations, and overdue reminders are sent at appropriate intervals. Payment receipt triggers automatic reconciliation and account updates.
Contract Renewal Management
As contracts approach renewal dates, the system automatically generates renewal notices, prepares updated contract terms if applicable, and coordinates with sales teams. It tracks renewal status and ensures seamless transition to new contract periods without billing interruption.
How It Works
Transform your elevator service contract billing from a time-consuming manual process into a streamlined, automated system. This solution automatically generates accurate invoices based on contract terms, tracks payment status, sends timely reminders, and manages contract renewals. Perfect for elevator service companies managing multiple maintenance agreements, annual inspection contracts, and recurring service plans. The system integrates with your existing contract management and accounting software to ensure seamless billing cycles, reduce administrative overhead, and improve customer payment compliance. Automated notifications keep both your team and customers informed about upcoming invoices, payment confirmations, and contract renewal dates, ensuring consistent revenue flow and reducing accounts receivable aging.
The Trigger
The system automatically initiates when a contract billing date arrives, whether monthly, quarterly, or annually. It can also trigger when contract milestones are met, service calls are completed under contract, or renewal periods approach. Smart scheduling ensures invoices are generated according to each customer's specific contract terms and billing cycles.
The Action
The system automatically creates detailed invoices based on contract terms, including service descriptions, equipment covered, billing amounts, and payment terms. Invoices are immediately sent to customers via email, posted to customer portals, and recorded in accounting systems. Payment reminders are scheduled, and the system tracks payment status while updating financial records in real-time.
