ROI Impact
To automate billing after job completion, connect your facilities management system to your invoicing platform so that when a job status changes to 'complete', it automatically triggers invoice creation using job data, calculates costs, and sends the invoice to the client—typically reducing billing time from 2-3 days to under 5 minutes.
How This Automation Works
Facilities Job Marked Complete → Invoice Generated and Sent
Job Completion Detected
The system continuously monitors your facilities management platform for jobs marked as complete, capturing the completion event along with all associated job data, timestamps, and technician information.
Job Data Extraction and Validation
All relevant information is automatically extracted including labor hours, materials used, service type, location details, and client information. The system validates that required billing fields are complete and accurate.
Pricing Calculation and Application
The system applies your predefined pricing rules, calculates labor costs based on hours and rates, adds materials markup, applies any contract terms or discounts, and computes taxes based on service location to generate the total invoice amount.
Invoice Generation and Formatting
A professional invoice is automatically created using your branded template, including all job details, itemized charges, payment terms, and any relevant attachments like completion photos or inspection reports.
Accounting System Synchronization
The invoice is automatically recorded in your accounting system with proper categorization, job costing allocation, and client account linkage, ensuring financial records remain accurate and up-to-date.
Client Notification and Delivery
The invoice is sent to the client via email with payment instructions, online payment portal access, and any supporting documentation. Automatic reminders are scheduled based on payment terms.
How It Works
Transform your facilities management billing process by automatically triggering invoice generation the moment a job is marked complete. This intelligent system monitors job status changes across your service management platform and instantly initiates billing processes—creating invoices, calculating labor and materials costs, applying appropriate rates, and sending payment requests to clients. By eliminating the manual handoff between operations and accounting teams, you reduce billing cycles from days to minutes while ensuring no completed work goes unbilled. The system captures all job details, attachments, and time logs to create accurate, comprehensive invoices that accelerate cash flow and improve client satisfaction through transparent, timely billing.
The Trigger
When a facilities maintenance job, repair task, or service request is marked as complete in your management system, the trigger immediately activates the billing process. This captures all relevant job data including labor hours, materials used, service location, completion photos, and client information to ensure accurate invoice generation.
The Action
The system automatically creates a detailed invoice based on job specifications, calculates total costs using your pricing rules, applies any contract terms or discounts, generates a professional PDF document, and sends it directly to the client via email with payment instructions and portal access for immediate processing.
