1

Job Completion Triggers Invoice Creation

When your field technician completes a septic service job and updates the status in your management system, the automation instantly captures all job data including service type, duration, materials used, equipment charges, and customer details to begin the invoice generation process.

2

Service Details and Costs Calculated

The system automatically calculates all charges based on your pricing rules: labor hours multiplied by rates, materials and parts at cost, equipment usage fees, disposal charges based on gallons pumped, travel fees if applicable, and proper tax calculations based on service location and type.

3

Professional Invoice Generated

A fully formatted, branded invoice is created with your company logo, contact information, itemized service details, clear payment terms, accepted payment methods, and due date. The invoice meets all professional standards and includes any required regulatory information for septic services.

4

Invoice Delivered to Customer

The completed invoice is automatically sent to the customer through their preferred delivery method—email with PDF attachment, SMS with payment link, or posted to a customer portal. Delivery confirmation is tracked to ensure receipt.

5

Transaction Recorded in Accounting System

The invoice data is simultaneously recorded in your accounting system with proper categorization, customer account updates, and accounts receivable tracking. All financial records are updated in real-time without manual entry, maintaining accurate books and enabling instant financial reporting.
