Billing & invoicing desk · Field service & repair
Bill every completed job, collect on time.
Jobs close in the field but the invoice never goes out, because labour, parts, and the trip charge won't reconcile. Receivables age past 60 days, uncollected.
The reality
Billing is a completion problem.
A tech marks a job complete, but the parts used don't match the order, the flat rate and T&M lines disagree, and the invoice sits unbuilt for a week. Warranty and contract-covered work gets billed wrong, statements go out late, and AR quietly stretches while the office handles the easy invoices first.
The operator owns the cycle from job close to cash. It validates the completed work order against labour, parts, and pricing, generates the invoice on the right terms, sends it, and works the collections follow-up until the payment posts.
