How This Automation Works
Billing cycle date reached → Invoice generated and sent automatically
Set Up Customer Billing Schedules
Configure each customer's recurring service contract with billing frequency, service details, pricing, and payment terms. The system stores this information and uses it to automatically generate future invoices based on the schedule.
Monitor Billing Cycle Dates
The system continuously monitors all customer billing schedules and identifies when invoices need to be generated. It accounts for weekends, holidays, and custom billing preferences to ensure timely invoice creation.
Generate Invoice Automatically
When a billing date arrives, the system creates a professional invoice with service descriptions, pricing, tank locations, and payment instructions. It includes relevant contract details and calculates any applicable taxes or fees.
Deliver Invoice to Customer
The invoice is automatically sent to the customer via their preferred delivery method, typically email with a PDF attachment. Customers receive a secure payment link and clear instructions for submitting payment.
Track Payment Status
The system monitors payment status in real-time, automatically recording when payments are received. It updates your accounting records, marks invoices as paid, and maintains a complete payment history for each customer.
Send Automated Reminders
For unpaid invoices, the system sends automated payment reminders at scheduled intervals. Reminder frequency and messaging can be customized based on how overdue the payment is, maintaining professional communication without manual follow-up.
Update Financial Records
All transactions are automatically recorded in your accounting system, updating revenue, accounts receivable, and customer account balances. This ensures accurate financial reporting and eliminates duplicate data entry.
