Repairs and specialist services: Invoicing software for roller shutter service companies
Invoicing software for roller shutter service companies that combines signed-off fault tickets, parts used and the accepted proposal into an invoice the office only has to check and send.
Where invoices stall for roller shutter service companies.
At roller shutter service companies, what needs invoicing differs from visit to visit. An adjustment is charged as call-out and time, a motor replacement against the accepted proposal, and extra work the engineer did on site, such as a new bottom rail, sometimes appears only on the ticket. The office retypes it all from paper tickets, emails and the quote, missing lines or billing something twice. With property managers and housing associations the invoice also has to carry a purchase order number, a property or a cost centre. If that is missing, the invoice comes back and payment is delayed.

From finished work to paid invoice.
Bring ticket and proposal together
Once a ticket is signed off, the software gathers everything belonging to that job: the accepted proposal, time spent, parts used and any access platform costs. Visits without a proposal use your standard rates. Commercial references such as purchase order number or property come across from the original report.
Highlight differences from the proposal
If the ticket differs from the proposal, for example because the axle also had to be replaced, the software flags the difference. The office sees whether the customer approved that extra work on the ticket or whether a conversation is needed first. No extra work slips out unnoticed and nothing is charged that should not be.
Send with the right references
After checking, the software creates the invoice, with lines per shutter and the references the customer requires, and sends it with a payment link. Reminders go out automatically and the payment status sits on the job. The software remembers which ticket led to which invoice, so a customer query can be answered quickly.
Invoicing from the same software.
Invoices are currently often made in a bookkeeping program, with details the office retypes from tickets and quotes. In the software the invoice comes from the signed-off ticket and the proposal, with item codes from your product list, numbering, tax and payment status. The job card owns what was actually done. Arrangements with regular commercial clients, such as rates or required references, are recorded per client at the start. The bookkeeper looks along or receives an export.
Invoice straight away or batch per period
Homeowners like their invoice shortly after the visit, while a manager with many addresses prefers one combined invoice per period. The software handles that per customer. Batching does require signed-off tickets to wait until the end of the period without dropping out of sight, so the office needs a clear list of what is still to be invoiced.
Call-out charge separate or in the hourly rate
A separate call-out line is transparent but prompts questions from some customers. Building it into the rate is simpler but makes short visits loss-making when they are far away. Whatever you choose, the software applies it as a rule, so every invoice has the same structure and the office does not have to think about it per customer.
Show warranty on the invoice
A motor replaced under manufacturer warranty may cost the customer only labour, or nothing at all if it concerns an earlier repair of yours. That decision should be settled in advance and visible on the invoice, with a reference to the earlier visit. It avoids disputes and makes a claim to the supplier easier.

Read the storyWhat we set up for your invoicing.
At the start we put your rates for call-out, hours and access platform into invoicing, with the warranty arrangements per motor brand and the required references of regular managers and housing associations. Before launch we go through an ordinary motor replacement as proposed together, and a visit where the engineer used extra parts that had not been approved yet. Combined invoices per period for managers with many addresses can be switched on when the first such customer asks.

Explore pricing and optionsDo we still need an accounting package next to this?
Not for invoicing: numbering, sending with a payment link, reminders and payment status are all in the software. Your bookkeeper can look along or receive an export of invoices and payments, so the rest of your bookkeeping does not have to change.
How do we handle a purchase order number that arrives late?
The draft invoice waits with a note that the reference is missing. As soon as the order number arrives, the office fills it in and the invoice goes through. No invoice comes back because a mandatory field was empty, and the office knows exactly which invoices are still waiting on a reference.
Can we track warranty replacements separately for the supplier?
Yes. A replacement under warranty gets its own marker on the ticket together with the serial number of the old motor. The software carries that through as a line at no charge or a reduced one, and produces a list you can submit to the supplier.
What if the customer disputes the invoice?
The office can see which ticket, proposal and photos the invoice is based on. Any approval the customer gave on the proposal or ticket is shown with its date. That keeps the conversation factual and saves anyone digging through folders or email.
