About This Automation

Time and fee tracking per project involves collecting timesheets, verifying hours against field logs, coding time to project phases, and calculating billable amounts before invoicing. Done manually, this process is slow and prone to errors that delay billing and create disputes.

An automated version consolidates timesheets, matches hours to cost codes, and reconciles fees against budgets without manual entry. This produces faster, more accurate invoices and reduces billing disputes.

Key features
Pulls logged hours automatically from the time tracking tool for every crew member
Cross-checks submitted hours against field logs to catch discrepancies early
Maps verified hours to the correct project phase and cost code
Calculates billable fees per phase using preset billing rates
Flags budget overages or underbilling before invoices go out
Generates and sends the client invoice with a cover note on billing terms

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Weekly Timesheet Sync Triggertrigger

Entries close automatically at the end of the week and hand off hours data for processing.

2. Timesheet Consolidation Runs

Matches hours against daily logs and maps verified hours to project cost codes.

3. Fee Reconciliation & Invoicing Runs

Calculates billable fees per phase and reconciles them against the contract budget.

4. Draft Invoice Created

System drafts the client invoice with line items pulled directly from the reconciled fee data.

5. PM Edits Invoice

Only triggered when the PM rejects the draft, allowing amounts or descriptions to be adjusted before resubmitting.

6. Invoice Sent

Approved invoice is emailed to the client automatically with cover note and payment terms attached.

7. Payment Status Posted

Confirmation and due date are posted to the project channel so the team has visibility without checking.
