How This Automation Works
Contract Billing Date Reached → Invoice Generated and Sent
Monitor Contract Billing Schedules
The system continuously monitors all active generator maintenance contracts and their associated billing dates. It tracks monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles while accounting for contract start dates, billing day preferences, and holiday adjustments to ensure invoices are generated at the optimal time.
Retrieve Contract Details and Terms
When a billing date arrives, the system automatically pulls complete contract information including customer data, service level agreements, covered equipment details, pricing structures, applicable taxes, discount terms, and any special billing instructions or notes.
Calculate Invoice Amounts and Line Items
The system calculates all charges based on contract terms, including base service fees, per-equipment costs, tiered pricing adjustments, additional services performed, parts charges if applicable, taxes, and any credits or discounts. All calculations are performed automatically with complete accuracy.
Generate Professional Invoice Document
A formatted invoice is created using your company's branding, including logo, color scheme, and layout preferences. The document includes all required information, clear line item descriptions, payment terms, due dates, and multiple payment method options for customer convenience.
Deliver Invoice to Customer
The completed invoice is automatically sent to the customer's designated billing contact via email. The system can send to multiple recipients if specified, include PDF attachments, and provide online payment links for immediate processing. Delivery confirmation is tracked for your records.
Track Payment Status and Follow Up
Once sent, the system monitors payment status and automatically sends reminder notices based on your schedule. Initial thank-you confirmations, approaching due date reminders, and overdue payment notices are sent automatically. The system maintains a complete audit trail of all communication and payment activity.
Record Transaction in Accounting System
Invoice details are automatically synchronized with your accounting software, creating proper accounts receivable records with customer assignment, service categorization, and revenue recognition. When payments are received, the system updates both the billing and accounting records to maintain synchronized financial data.
How It Works
Transform your generator maintenance contract billing from a time-consuming manual process into a streamlined automated system. This solution automatically creates accurate invoices based on contract terms, sends them to customers on schedule, tracks payment status, and follows up on overdue accounts. Whether managing preventive maintenance plans, emergency service contracts, or comprehensive coverage agreements, automated billing ensures you never miss a billing cycle while reducing administrative overhead. The system handles multiple contract types, varying billing frequencies, and complex pricing structures including tiered service levels, equipment counts, and seasonal adjustments. Integration with your existing customer database and accounting software eliminates double entry and maintains perfect financial records. Automated reminders keep customers informed and payments flowing, while detailed reporting gives you complete visibility into contract revenue and outstanding receivables.
