The trigger
Job marked complete Completion in your scheduling or job system starts the billing workflow immediately, rather than waiting for an admin session.
INVOICING AND PAYMENTS
Get the invoice out
the day the work is done.
In most service businesses invoicing happens in a batch, days after the work, by someone who would rather be doing something else. Every day of that delay is a day added to when you get paid. Invoice and payment automation issues the invoice when the job is marked complete, requests payment through the same channels the customer already uses, and chases on a schedule.This connects billing to the rest of the workflow rather than treating it as a separate admin task at the end of the week.

THE WORKFLOW
From completed job to payment received.
From the job record
Invoice generated The invoice is produced from the agreed work, using your template, numbering and terms, with the customer details already on file.
Where they will see it
Delivered Sent by email and, where appropriate, by text, so it reaches the customer while the work is still fresh in their mind.
One tap to pay
Payment requested A payment request accompanies the invoice with a direct link, removing the delay of the customer having to arrange it themselves.
Polite and scheduled
Reminders Unpaid invoices are chased on your timetable with wording you approved, escalating in tone only as far as you allow.
Everyone sees the truth
Status updates When payment lands, the record updates, reminders stop, the customer is thanked and the next workflow, such as a review request, can begin.
WHY IT CONNECTS
Billing is a communication problem.
01
Same channel as everything else
The customer booked by text and got reminders by text. An invoice that arrives the same way gets opened, which is most of the battle.
02
No re-entering data
Customer, job and pricing details already exist from the booking. Re-typing them into a separate tool is where errors and delays come from.
03
Chasing without awkwardness
Scheduled reminders remove the personal discomfort that causes overdue invoices to sit unchased for weeks.
04
CRM stays current
Payment status is visible against the customer record, so conversations happen with the right information.
05
Triggers what comes next
A settled invoice can start the review request or the next scheduled service, keeping the lifecycle moving.
06
Fewer disputes
An invoice sent the same day, describing work the customer just watched happen, is queried far less often than one sent three weeks later.
SCOPE
What this is and is not.
This automates the workflow around invoicing and payment collection: generation, delivery, payment requests, reminders and status updates, connected to your customer communication and CRM.
It is not accounting software and does not replace your accountant. It does not file tax returns, reconcile ledgers, produce statutory accounts or make tax determinations. Where you already use an accounting package, the workflow is designed to feed it rather than to compete with it.
Payment processing is handled by your payment provider. We build the workflow that requests, tracks and follows up on payments through it.
Review this workflow with your team.
Bring one routine request and one exception. Review existing-number forwarding where supported, plus AI transparency.
Cash flow
Why the delay costs more than the discount.
Most late payment is not refusal, it is drift. The job finishes, the invoice goes out at the end of the week, the customer files it, a reminder happens when somebody remembers, and a fortnight has quietly passed. Each of those gaps is administrative rather than commercial, which is exactly why automation closes them.
Sending on completion changes the context: the customer is still thinking about work they were pleased with, rather than something from three weeks ago. Reminders on a fixed schedule remove the awkward internal decision about when to chase. And a payment link in the message removes the last excuse, because paying takes seconds rather than a login.
The visibility matters too. When every invoice has a status, you can see what is outstanding and how old it is without assembling a spreadsheet, and the conversations you do have are with the few customers who genuinely need one.
Common questions
Questions we get asked before people commit.
No. It automates the workflow around invoicing and payment collection and feeds your accounting package. It does not do bookkeeping, reconciliation, statutory accounts or tax.
Your payment provider. We build the workflow that generates the invoice, requests payment through the right channel, tracks the status and follows up when it is unpaid.
Yes. You approve the wording, the schedule and how far the escalation goes. Nothing is sent that you have not seen.
Normally the job or appointment being marked complete, so billing happens the same day rather than in a weekly admin session. Other triggers, such as a deposit at the point of booking, can be configured too.
Bill on the day,
not at the weekend.
Secure your spot and we will map your job completion, invoicing and payment chasing into one workflow that runs without an admin session.
