Construction and installation: Invoicing software for facade cleaning contractors
Invoicing software for facade cleaning contractors that builds the invoice from treated facade sections, equipment days and second passes on the job card, and sends it per building with a payment link.
Where invoices stall for facade cleaning contractors.
After a facade cleaning job the invoice should match the quote, but reality often differs. A section was not treated because the association decided to postpone it, the cherry picker was needed an extra day because of rain, and one spot got a second pass that may or may not have been agreed. Facade cleaning contractors who invoice from the planner's memory miss such differences or charge them twice. A property manager also wants invoices per building, with costs assigned to the right sections. Whoever retypes lines into a separate invoicing program makes errors that only show up when the customer asks, and payment from an association then lags even further behind.

From finished work to paid invoice.
Gather treated sections and equipment
The invoice starts from the accepted quote with its facade sections, already held in the software. Added to that is the signed job card: which sections were treated, which were not and how many days equipment was used. Second passes appear with the agreement made about them, so the invoice starts from what actually happened.
Review differences per section
If the job card differs from the quote, the draft invoice shows the difference per section. Someone in the office decides whether an untreated section is deducted, whether extra equipment days due to weather are charged to the customer and whether a second pass falls within the agreement. That judgement stays recorded with the invoice.
Send per building with payment link
Once approved, the software sends the invoice per building or collected per period, with a reference to the order, the manager's invoicing details and a payment link. Reminders go out automatically if an association or manager does not pay on time. Per building you see which invoices are paid and which are still open.
Invoicing from the same software.
Facade cleaning contractors now often make invoices in an accounting package or invoicing program, separate from quotes and job cards. With invoicing in the same software the retyping goes away, and invoice and payment status sit next to the job. Invoices from the equipment hire company stay in the books; you note the hire period with the job, so it is clear which days can be passed on. Managers with their own invoicing requirements, such as a project number or cost centre, get those on the invoice automatically. The bookkeeper can look along or receive an export.
Charge extra equipment days or not
When rain extends a job, cherry picker hire keeps running. Whether the customer pays depends on what the quote says. A clear agreement up front, for instance that weather delays are not charged unless the customer moves the day, makes reviewing the draft invoice simple.
Invoice per building or collected
A homeowner gets one invoice per job. A manager with several buildings may want a monthly collective invoice with a breakdown per building. Both are possible, as long as the building details in the order are correct and the manager has said which form they prefer. We record that choice with the client, so the office does not have to ask every month.
Second pass as extra or included
Stubborn soiling may need a second pass. If the quote listed it as an option with its own price, it is extra work. If the test area result was the agreement and it was not reached, it falls within the order. The job card and test area make the difference visible.

What we set up for your invoicing.
From the start you create the invoice per building from the quote and the signed job card per facade section, with differences flagged, a payment link and automatic reminders. Together we go through a homeowner job that went as quoted, and an association job where one section was postponed and the cherry picker needed an extra day. Managers' invoicing details are recorded up front; collective invoices per period and the overview of completed jobs not yet invoiced are switched on whenever you want.

Explore pricing and optionsCan we invoice a partly completed job?
Yes. The invoice contains only the sections that were treated and signed off. Open sections stay with the order for a later invoice. An association that postpones part of the work can still pay for what has been done through the payment link.
How do we handle managers' cost centres?
We record with the client which details must appear on the invoice, such as a project number or cost centre per building. They appear on the invoice automatically. If one is missing, the software flags it before the invoice is sent, so a manager does not send it back.
Who approves the invoice for an association or manager?
Usually someone in the office, with the planner as background on differences. An invoice only goes to the client with its payment link once approved. That way no invoice reaches an association listing a section that was never treated.
What if an association does not pay on time?
Then reminders go out automatically, with the invoice and the payment link attached. The overview shows per client which invoices are open and which reminder has already been sent. The office can then decide whether a next job for that association waits until payment arrives.
