About This Automation

Job-to-invoice is a manual data-gathering and entry process that delays customer billing and introduces errors. Office staff spend hours collecting labour hours, materials, and change orders from scattered sources, then manually recreating this data in accounting software.

Automation retrieves job completion data from multiple sources, structures it, and generates a complete invoice in accounting software within minutes. The invoice is validated, sent, and logged automatically, eliminating manual entry and reducing billing delays.

Key features
Gather labour hours, materials, and change orders from job forms, timesheets, and email in one step
Validate job data for completeness and flag missing or ambiguous information for human review
Generate a complete, itemized invoice in accounting software with correct customer details and payment terms
Send the invoice to the customer and log the transaction automatically
Reduce invoice errors and re-sends by validating totals before delivery

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Completion Triggeredtrigger

A job is marked complete in the system or a completion form is submitted. The automation platform receives this signal and begins gathering invoice data.

2. Fetch Job and Labour Data

The automation retrieves job details, labour hours, worker names, and completion notes from the job management system or form submission.

3. Retrieve Materials and Costs

The automation queries the materials tracking sheet or system to pull the list of materials used, quantities, and unit costs associated with the job.

4. Check for Change Orders

The automation searches for any approved change orders or extras linked to the job and retrieves their amounts.

5. Generate Invoice

The automation creates a new invoice with all labour, material, and extra line items, calculates totals, and applies the correct customer and payment terms.

6. Send Invoice via Email

The automation sends the completed invoice to the customer with a professional message and payment instructions.

7. Log Invoice Completion

The automation updates the job record with the invoice number, send date, and status, creating a complete audit trail.

8. Notify Office

The automation sends a confirmation message notifying the office team that the invoice has been sent and logged.
