About This Automation Invoicing and payment collection for tyre jobs relies on paper job cards, spreadsheet rate lookups, and manual bank feed checks. This creates delays between job completion and payment, and overdue balances often go unnoticed for days.
An automated version generates itemized invoices the moment a job is marked complete, sends them immediately, and matches incoming payments without daily manual review. The result is faster payment collection and fewer overdue accounts.
Key features:
Generate itemized invoices automatically from completed job records and current rate tables Send finished invoices to customers without manual email drafting Match incoming payments to open invoices as they arrive Keep the aging report current without a daily manual scan Trigger overdue payment reminders automatically based on due dates Remove manual rate lookups by pulling pricing directly from a shared rate table Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process
