How This Automation Works
Project Milestone Completion → Progress Invoice Generated and Sent
Milestone Completion Detected
The system monitors your project management platform and detects when a mold remediation milestone is marked complete, such as containment setup, remediation work, or air quality testing. It captures all relevant project data including completion date, work performed, materials used, and labor hours.
Billing Amount Calculated
Based on your contract terms and payment schedule, the system automatically calculates the appropriate billing amount for the completed phase. It accounts for percentage-of-completion, fixed milestone amounts, change orders, and any previously billed amounts to determine the current invoice value.
Invoice Generated with Details
A professional progress invoice is created automatically with detailed line items for the completed work, including descriptions, quantities, rates, and amounts. The invoice includes project information, payment terms, previous billing history, and total contract value for complete transparency.
Client Notification Sent
The completed invoice is immediately sent to the client via email with a PDF attachment and secure payment link. The notification includes a summary of completed work, payment instructions, and any relevant project documentation or photos supporting the billing.
Records Updated and Tracked
All accounting and project management systems are updated simultaneously with the new invoice information. The system tracks invoice status, monitors for payment receipt, and can automatically send payment reminders based on your configured schedule, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
How It Works
Mold remediation projects often span multiple phases—from initial assessment and containment to removal and final clearance testing. Manual progress billing creates delays, billing errors, and cash flow gaps that impact your business operations. This automation streamlines the entire progress billing process by automatically generating invoices when project milestones are reached, sending them to clients immediately, and tracking payment status in real-time. The system monitors your project management data, identifies completed phases, calculates appropriate amounts based on your contract terms, and creates professional invoices without any manual data entry. By eliminating administrative bottlenecks and ensuring timely billing at each project stage, you'll accelerate payment cycles, reduce billing disputes, and maintain healthy cash flow throughout extended remediation projects.
The Trigger
The automation activates when a mold remediation project phase is marked complete in your project management system, such as containment setup, remediation work, or clearance testing. It can also trigger based on scheduled billing dates, percentage completion thresholds, or manual approval of work stages.
The Action
The system automatically calculates the billing amount based on completed work, generates a detailed progress invoice with line items for each phase, applies your contract terms and payment schedule, and sends the invoice directly to the client via email. It also updates your accounting records, tracks the invoice status, and can schedule automatic payment reminders for outstanding balances.

Results You Can Expect
Accelerated Payment Cycles
Eliminate billing delays by sending invoices immediately after milestone completion. Faster billing leads to faster payments, improving cash flow and reducing the time between work completion and payment receipt by an average of 12-15 days per project phase.

Improved Billing Accuracy
Eliminate calculation mistakes, missed line items, and incorrect amounts that lead to disputes and delayed payments. Automated systems pull data directly from project records, ensuring every invoice reflects actual work completed with precise amounts based on contract terms.
Enhanced Cash Flow Predictability
Regular, timely billing at each project milestone creates predictable cash flow patterns that improve financial planning. You'll avoid the feast-or-famine cycle common with delayed or batch billing, making it easier to manage expenses and invest in business growth.
Better Client Transparency
Detailed progress invoices with clear milestone descriptions and supporting documentation reduce client questions and disputes. Clients appreciate the transparency of seeing exactly what work was completed and how billing aligns with the agreed-upon payment schedule.
Scalable Billing Operations
Handle significantly more concurrent projects without adding billing staff. Automation scales effortlessly as your business grows, maintaining consistent billing quality and timing regardless of project volume or team size.
