Custom fields for job site, installer, and warranty details allow invoices to capture installation specifics and customer acknowledgements, reducing follow-up and ensuring each project record is complete for billing and service purposes.
Built-in formulas compute totals, taxes, discounts, and deposit balances automatically so pricing errors are minimized and invoices reconcile immediately with estimates and purchase orders.
Support for variable line items, unit measures, and bulk pricing lets you invoice combinations of materials and labor with clear, itemized breakdowns for customer transparency.
Designated signature areas, initials, and date stamps capture customer approval and acceptance of terms, creating legally admissible acknowledgment of delivery and scope.
A time-stamped record of actions, IP addresses, and authentication steps preserves a verifiable history of who viewed, signed, and modified the invoice.
Secure PDF export and configurable retention let you archive signed invoices for accounting, warranty claims, and compliance audits.
Two-way CRM sync pulls customer, project, and pricing data into invoice templates and pushes signed PDFs and payment status back to records, reducing duplicate data entry and keeping sales and accounting teams aligned on order status and customer history.
Direct export and archival to cloud services stores signed invoices alongside project files, photos, and contracts, enabling centralized access for warranty claims and future service calls.
Conditional logic displays or hides fields such as installation labor, warranty add-ons, or freight charges based on customer type or selected materials, ensuring concise invoices tailored to each sale.
