How This Automation Works
Service Completion Confirmation → Professional Invoice Created and Delivered
Complete Service and Record Details
When you finish a locksmith service—whether emergency lockout, lock installation, rekeying, or key duplication—mark the job as complete in your job management system. All service details including time spent, materials used, and service type are automatically captured in the completion record.
Automatic Data Collection and Validation
The system immediately retrieves all relevant job information including customer details, service location, labor hours, parts inventory used, applicable rates (standard or emergency), and any special charges. Data is validated against your pricing structures to ensure accuracy before invoice generation.
Invoice Generation with Professional Formatting
A complete invoice is instantly created using your branded template, including your logo, business information, and payment terms. The invoice displays itemized service charges, parts costs, labor calculations, taxes, and the total amount due with a unique invoice number for tracking.
Automatic Delivery to Customer
The finished invoice is immediately sent to your customer via their preferred method—email, text message, or both. Customers receive a professional invoice with multiple payment options while you're still on-site, enabling immediate payment collection and improving customer experience.
Sync to Accounting and Track Payment
The invoice is automatically recorded in your accounting system with proper categorization, customer assignment, and payment tracking. You can monitor invoice status, receive notifications when customers view or pay invoices, and maintain complete financial records without manual bookkeeping.
How It Works
Transform your locksmith billing process with automatic invoice generation that creates detailed, professional invoices immediately after completing any service. This intelligent system captures job details, labor hours, parts used, and service charges to generate accurate invoices without manual input. Whether you're responding to emergency lockouts, installing commercial security systems, or providing residential rekeying services, every completed job triggers an instant invoice that's ready to send to your customer. The system integrates seamlessly with your dispatch and job management tools, pulling service information directly into professionally formatted invoices that include your branding, payment terms, and itemized charges. Say goodbye to end-of-day paperwork and delayed billing that hurts cash flow. With automatic invoice generation, you'll reduce billing time by up to 85%, eliminate transcription errors, and ensure every service gets billed accurately and promptly. Your customers receive clear, professional invoices immediately, improving their experience and accelerating payment collection.
