How does the system handle complex commercial invoices with multiple properties?

The automation consolidates services across multiple properties into single invoices with detailed per-property breakdowns, applies property-specific pricing from contracts, and allows flexible billing schedules. Commercial clients can view individual property details while receiving streamlined consolidated billing that matches their accounting requirements.

Can customers still pay by check if they prefer traditional methods?

Yes, the system accommodates all payment methods. While automated invoices include digital payment options, customers can still mail checks. Office staff simply records the check payment in the system, which automatically updates balances, stops reminder sequences, and sends payment confirmations. The automation handles payment processing regardless of method.

What happens if a customer disputes an invoice after automation sends it?

The system includes dispute flagging that immediately pauses collection reminders when staff marks an invoice as disputed. You can easily adjust invoice amounts, add credits, or regenerate corrected invoices. All dispute activity logs automatically for reference, and customers receive updated invoices instantly upon resolution.

How does recurring billing work for seasonal service variations?

The system handles seasonal contract variations automatically, adjusting invoice amounts based on service schedules. For example, maintenance contracts can automatically bill higher amounts during active growing season and lower amounts during dormant months, or pause entirely for winter, all based on contract terms you define once during setup.

Can we customize the invoice template to match our branding?

Yes, invoice templates are fully customizable with your logo, colors, terms, and messaging. You can create different templates for residential vs. commercial clients, maintenance vs. installation projects, or customize per client. The automation applies the correct template based on job type and customer segment rules you establish.

What integration is required with our existing accounting software?

The system integrates bidirectionally with QuickBooks, Xero, and other major accounting platforms. Invoices automatically sync to your accounting system with proper customer, service, and GL code mapping. Payments recorded in either system sync automatically, eliminating duplicate entry and ensuring your books stay current in real-time.

How do we handle customers who consistently pay late despite reminders?

The system identifies chronic late payers through payment history tracking and flags them for proactive management. You can implement shorter payment terms, require deposits, switch to auto-pay, or implement service holds after a defined threshold. The automation provides the data and tools to enforce payment policies consistently while maintaining service quality.
