About This Automation Turning a completed electrical job into an accurate invoice requires pulling labor and parts data, checking supplier costs, and applying markup and tax by hand. This manual chain is slow and prone to pricing and inventory errors that delay cash flow.
The automated version pulls closed job data, reconciles parts against van stock and supplier cost, and builds a priced invoice ready for approval. It sends the invoice once approved and updates inventory and job records automatically.
Key features:
Pulls completed job details automatically once a technician closes a ticket in the field Reconciles parts used against van stock and current supplier costs without manual lookup Builds an invoice draft with correct labor, parts, markup, and tax applied automatically Routes high-value invoices for manager approval before sending Updates inventory records and files job documentation once the invoice is sent Sends the finalized invoice to the customer the same day the job closes Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process
