How This Automation Works
Scheduled Billing Date Reached → Invoice Generated and Sent
Contract Schedule Monitoring
The system continuously monitors your maintenance contract database and identifies upcoming billing dates based on each client's recurring schedule (monthly, quarterly, seasonal, or annual intervals).
Invoice Data Compilation
When a billing date arrives, the automation retrieves all relevant contract information including client details, service tier, pricing, property specifications, and any custom line items or adjustments specific to that maintenance agreement.
Professional Invoice Generation
A formatted invoice is automatically created using your branded template, including itemized services, accurate pricing calculations, tax amounts, payment terms, and due dates with a unique invoice number for tracking.
Automated Email Delivery
The invoice is sent to the client via email with a professional message, payment instructions, and convenient online payment links. The system logs the send time and delivery status for your records.
Payment Tracking and Updates
The automation monitors payment status by integrating with your payment processor. When payment is received, the invoice is marked as paid, and the transaction is recorded in your accounting system with automatic reconciliation.
Automated Follow-up Reminders
For unpaid invoices, the system automatically sends friendly payment reminders at predefined intervals (e.g., before due date, on due date, and after due date), reducing late payments and improving cash flow without manual intervention.

This system automatically generates invoices based on maintenance schedules, sends them to clients at predetermined intervals, tracks payment status, and sends reminders for overdue accounts. Perfect for irrigation businesses managing seasonal maintenance contracts, monthly service agreements, or annual system checks. The automation integrates with your existing customer database and accounting software to ensure accurate billing based on service tier, property size, and custom contract terms.
