How This Automation Works
Monthly Billing Date Reached → Professional Invoice Generated and Delivered
Contract Data Collection
The system retrieves all active facility maintenance contracts scheduled for billing. It gathers contract terms, pricing structures, service level agreements, client information, billing addresses, and payment preferences from your contract management database. The automation verifies contract status and identifies any recent amendments or rate changes that affect current billing.
Service Record Compilation
The automation pulls completed service records, preventive maintenance logs, work orders, and any additional services performed during the billing period. It matches these activities against contract specifications to determine billable items, calculates quantities, and applies appropriate rates for each service type. Any out-of-scope work or emergency services are flagged for special billing treatment.
Billing Calculation and Validation
The system calculates total charges by applying contract rates to service quantities, processing tiered pricing structures, adding approved surcharges, and computing any prorated adjustments for partial periods. It validates mathematical accuracy, checks for pricing anomalies, and compares current charges against historical patterns to identify unusual variances requiring review.
Invoice Generation and Formatting
Professional invoices are created with your company branding, including detailed line items, service descriptions, billing periods, contract references, and payment terms. The system formats each invoice according to client-specific requirements, attaches supporting documentation such as service reports or photos when applicable, and generates PDF versions for delivery.
Approval Routing and Review
If configured, invoices are routed through internal approval workflows to designated managers or account supervisors. Reviewers receive notifications with invoice details and can approve, request modifications, or flag issues directly within the system. Once approved, the automation proceeds to delivery; rejected items are held for correction with notifications sent to appropriate staff.
Invoice Delivery and Distribution
Approved invoices are automatically delivered to clients via their preferred method: email with PDF attachment, secure client portal upload, or direct integration with customer accounting systems. The automation records delivery timestamps, tracks email opens, and sends copies to internal stakeholders. Each invoice includes clear payment instructions and online payment options when available.
Payment Tracking and Follow-up
The system monitors payment status by integrating with payment processors and accounting software. When payments are received, it automatically updates invoice status and customer accounts. For unpaid invoices, the automation triggers scheduled reminders based on payment terms, escalating communication as invoices become overdue and generating reports for collections management.
Financial Reconciliation and Reporting
All billing transactions are synchronized with your accounting system, creating proper receivable entries and maintaining accurate financial records. The automation generates comprehensive billing reports showing revenue by contract, client, service type, and location. It provides cash flow forecasts, aging analysis, and billing performance metrics to support financial planning and business decisions.
How It Works
Transform your facilities management billing operations with intelligent contract billing automation. This solution automatically processes monthly recurring invoices for maintenance contracts, service agreements, and facility management services. The system tracks contract terms, calculates accurate billing amounts based on service levels, applies rate adjustments, and generates professional invoices with detailed line items. It integrates with your contract management system to pull current pricing, service schedules, and client information, then automatically routes invoices through approval workflows before delivery. The automation handles complex billing scenarios including multi-location contracts, tiered pricing structures, add-on services, and prorated charges. It also manages payment tracking, sends automated reminders for overdue accounts, and updates your financial records in real-time. By eliminating manual data entry and calculation errors, you ensure billing accuracy while freeing your team to focus on service delivery and client relationships. The system maintains complete audit trails and generates comprehensive billing reports for financial analysis and forecasting.
The Trigger
The process initiates automatically on the designated billing date for each contract, typically the first day of the month or the contract anniversary date. The system monitors all active facility maintenance contracts and triggers billing cycles based on predefined schedules, ensuring no contract is overlooked and all invoices are generated on time.
The Action
The system compiles all contract details, service records, and pricing information to create accurate, itemized invoices. Each invoice includes contract references, service descriptions, billing periods, and payment terms. The completed invoices are automatically formatted according to your branding standards, routed for internal approval if required, and delivered to clients via their preferred method (email, portal, or integration with their accounting system). Payment tracking begins immediately upon invoice delivery.
