How This Automation Works
Service Completion → Invoice Created and Sent
Service Completion Trigger
When an elevator technician completes a repair job and updates the status to 'completed' in your service management system, the automation immediately captures all job details including customer information, equipment serviced, work performed, labor hours, parts consumed, and service classification.
Data Extraction and Validation
The system extracts relevant billing information from the completed service record and validates that all required fields are present. This includes verifying customer billing address, service date, itemized parts list, labor calculations, and any special pricing considerations such as emergency service premiums or contract discounts.
Pricing Calculation
The automation applies your company's pricing structure to calculate invoice amounts. It determines the appropriate labor rates based on service type and time, applies parts pricing with configured markup percentages, adds any applicable surcharges, calculates taxes based on customer location, and generates the total amount due.
Invoice Document Generation
Using your professional invoice template, the system populates all fields with the extracted and calculated data. It assigns the next sequential invoice number from your numbering system, formats the document according to your branding standards, and creates a PDF version for distribution and archival purposes.
Accounting System Integration
The completed invoice is automatically recorded in your accounting software with proper categorization. This creates the accounts receivable entry, associates the invoice with the correct customer account, updates your financial dashboards, and prepares the invoice for payment tracking.
Customer Delivery and Notification
The system sends the invoice to the customer via their preferred delivery method—typically email with PDF attachment. The automation can also save the invoice to your document management system, update the service job record with the invoice number, and optionally send notifications to your accounting team that a new invoice has been generated.
How It Works
Managing repair invoicing for elevator maintenance and service can be time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. This automation transforms your repair billing process by instantly generating professional invoices as soon as technicians complete service calls. The system captures all relevant repair details—including labor hours, parts used, service type, equipment information, and customer data—and automatically populates your invoice template with accurate information. By eliminating manual invoice creation, you reduce billing cycle times from days to minutes, minimize data entry errors, and ensure faster payment collection. The automation maintains consistent formatting across all invoices, tracks invoice numbers sequentially, and can automatically route completed invoices to customers via email. Perfect for elevator service companies managing multiple repair calls daily, this solution ensures your billing keeps pace with your service delivery, improving cash flow and reducing administrative overhead.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when an elevator repair job is marked as complete in your service management system. This can occur when a technician submits their final service report, updates job status to 'completed', or logs the completion time in your dispatch system. The trigger captures all relevant job details including service date, technician information, equipment serviced, work performed, parts consumed, and total labor hours.
The Action
The system automatically generates a professional repair invoice containing all job details, calculates totals based on your pricing structure, assigns the next sequential invoice number, saves the invoice to your accounting system, and optionally emails it directly to the customer. The invoice includes itemized charges for labor, parts, emergency fees, and any applicable taxes or surcharges. All invoice data is simultaneously recorded in your financial tracking system for accurate bookkeeping.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Billing Delays
Generate invoices within minutes of job completion instead of waiting days for administrative processing. Customers receive bills immediately while the service is fresh in their minds, significantly improving payment speed and reducing the time between service delivery and revenue recognition.
Reduce Data Entry Errors
Eliminate manual transcription errors by automatically transferring data from service records to invoices. The automation ensures accurate capture of labor hours, parts quantities, pricing, and customer information, reducing billing disputes and the need for invoice corrections or credits.
Improve Cash Flow
Accelerate your billing cycle from service completion to invoice delivery, resulting in faster payment collection. Earlier invoicing means earlier payments, improving working capital and reducing accounts receivable aging. Many companies see payment received 10-15 days sooner on average.
Save Administrative Time
Free your administrative staff from repetitive invoice creation tasks. Time previously spent manually preparing invoices can be redirected to higher-value activities such as customer service, collections follow-up, or financial analysis. For companies processing 10-20 repair jobs daily, this represents significant labor cost savings.
Ensure Billing Consistency
Maintain professional, standardized invoice formatting across all repair jobs. Every invoice follows the same template structure, includes all required information, and presents your company brand consistently, enhancing your professional image and simplifying invoice recognition for customers.
Capture Complete Revenue
Automatically include all billable items from the service record—labor, parts, travel time, emergency fees—reducing the risk of unbilled work. The systematic approach ensures nothing is overlooked, protecting your revenue and improving job profitability tracking.
