Job-Complete to Invoice

Q: Can the automation apply different discounts or markups for different customers?

Yes. The automation applies pricing rules based on job type, customer agreement, and your configured discount structure.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing accounting software and CRM?

The automation integrates with Xero, HubSpot, and other mainstream accounting and CRM tools. Your existing data and customer records remain intact and are used to validate and populate invoices.

Q: What if a manager is unavailable to approve an invoice?

The automation sends approval notifications to Slack or email with a direct review link. Multiple approvers can be configured, and escalation rules can be set for time-sensitive invoices.

Q: How does the automation handle invoices that need manual adjustments?

Invoices flagged as exceptions are routed to your team for manual review and adjustment before approval. Once corrected, they follow the same approval and delivery workflow as automated invoices.

Get invoices out the door the moment a fire safety job is marked complete, with no manual data entry in between.

About This Automation

Job-to-invoice processing requires manual data entry, verification, and approval routing, consuming significant bookkeeper time and introducing transcription errors. Manual approval delays push invoicing from same-day to 3-7 days after job completion.

Automation extracts job data directly from completion sheets, validates costs against records, builds invoices in the accounting system, and routes them for approval with a single click. Invoices reach customers same-day with near-zero transcription errors.

Key features:

Extract job details automatically from completion sheets and validate against customer records

Cross-reference labour hours and material costs against timesheets and purchase orders

Build and populate draft invoices in your accounting system without manual data entry

Apply pricing rules, discounts, and markups based on job type and customer agreement

Route invoices to managers for approval with a direct review link and notification

Log approved invoices to your CRM and send to customers with payment instructions

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Completion Submittedtrigger

Field team submits completed job sheet via email or mobile form. The automation platform detects the submission and extracts job details, labour hours, materials, and customer information.

2. Validate Job Data

The automation reviews the extracted job details against stored customer records, labour rates, and material costs. It flags any missing or inconsistent data for human review.

3. Create Invoice

The automation creates a draft invoice with labour and material line items, applies any stored discounts or markups, and calculates the total automatically.

4. Route for Approval

The automation sends the draft invoice to the manager with a direct link to review and approve, eliminating email back-and-forth.

5. Finalise and Send Invoice

Once approved, the automation marks the invoice as final, assigns an invoice number, and sends it to the customer with payment instructions.

6. Log Invoice

The automation creates a deal record linked to the customer, logs the invoice amount and date, and updates the customer's lifetime value.

7. Notify Bookkeeper of Completion

The automation sends a summary notification to the bookkeeper confirming the invoice was sent, with a link for audit purposes.
