Support fixed-price work, hourly entries, retainer draws, and bundled services with configurable quantity, rate, and tax calculations for each line item.
Define net terms, early payment discounts, late fees, and accepted payment methods to set clear expectations and reduce payment delays.
Attach time-sheets, ticket transcripts, screenshots, and change orders so the customer service team can substantiate charges and reduce disputes.
Route invoices for internal approval with conditional steps and auditor notes to ensure compliance before client delivery.
Schedule follow-up reminders and escalation rules tied to due dates to improve collections without manual effort.
Maintain an immutable trail of edits, views, and signatures to support audits, chargeback defense, and regulatory compliance.
Automatic population from Google Contacts and Calendar simplifies invoicing by pulling client names, meeting dates, and project references directly into the invoice template; attachments can be sourced from Google Drive and appended to the invoice for auditability and customer context.
Two-way synchronization with CRMs ensures billing contacts, contract terms, and account codes match client records; invoices update account histories and support reconciliation without manual data entry, reducing errors and duplicate records.
Integration with Dropbox or Drive centralizes attachments and preserves original supporting evidence next to invoices, enabling consistent retention policies and simplifying search during audits or client inquiries.
Link invoices to support tickets to automatically include ticket IDs, time entries, and issue descriptions; this provides transparent justification for charges and speeds dispute resolution.
