Job-Complete to Invoice & Parts Capture

Q: Do we still need staff to review invoices before sending them to customers?

Yes, a manager or owner reviews the completed invoice for accuracy and approves it before it goes to the customer. This approval step is the only manual task remaining.

Q: Will this work with our existing service platform and accounting software?

Automation connects directly to ServiceTitan and QuickBooks Online using their standard APIs. If you use different tools, the system can be adapted to work with them.

Q: What happens to our historical job and inventory data?

Existing records remain in place and are not altered. Automation begins processing new jobs going forward and can be configured to backfill historical data if needed.

Q: How does the system handle jobs with multiple service calls or partial completions?

The automation treats each completed job record as a single invoicing event. Jobs marked as complete trigger invoice creation; partial or multi-visit jobs can be configured to hold for manual grouping before automation runs.

Close the gap between a finished job and a paid invoice by capturing parts, labour, and job data the moment a technician marks the work done.

About This Automation

When technicians complete jobs in the field, office staff must manually extract parts data, cross-check inventory, and build invoices line by line. This creates delays, billing errors, and inventory discrepancies that compound throughout the month.

Automation reads completed jobs directly from the service platform, verifies parts against inventory in real time, and posts finished invoices to accounting software. Invoices reach customers within minutes, inventory stays accurate, and staff focus only on approval.

Key features:

Extract job data automatically from service records including parts used and labor hours

Verify parts against inventory in real time and flag discrepancies before invoicing

Build and post complete invoices to accounting software with all line items and totals

Deduct used parts from inventory ledger with full audit trail and job references

Route invoices to approval step only, eliminating manual data entry

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Completion Detectedtrigger

Webhook fires when a technician marks a job complete, sending job ID, parts list, labor hours, and customer details to the automation platform.

2. Extract Parts and Labor Data

Automation parses the job record to identify all parts used, quantities, unit costs, and labor hours payload.

3. Verify Inventory Availability

Automation queries inventory ledger to confirm parts are in stock and retrieve current unit costs for accurate billing.

4. Create Invoice

Automation builds and posts the invoice directly with all line items, customer details, and totals, ready for approval.

5. Deduct Parts from Inventory

Automation updates inventory ledger to subtract used parts and log the transaction with job reference and timestamp.

6. Notify Manager for Review

Message sent to the manager with invoice summary, parts used, and a direct link to QuickBooks for final approval before sending to customer.

7. Send Invoice to Customer

Once approved, automation sends the invoice to the customer email address from the job record and logs delivery confirmation in QuickBooks.
