Business supplies and services: Invoicing software for wayfinding companies
Invoicing software for wayfinding companies that invoices installed signs, change work and extra installation per project or per client, with a payment link and automatic reminders.
Where invoices stall for wayfinding companies.
Wayfinding companies often invoice large projects from the quote, while the work as carried out differs. Signs were added after a walk-through, a wing was postponed or a sign had to be remade because of a text error by the client. After handover change requests arrive for a few text strips here and there. Those small jobs sometimes go uninvoiced because they seem too minor, or are billed later in one go without a clear breakdown. Accounts sees a project number and an amount, but not which signs were installed. When in doubt, the project manager has to work out what really happened.

Gather installed signs
After installation the software lists from the job cards which signs were installed per location code. Changes compared with the quote, such as added or dropped signs, come along with a reference to the sign schedule version. Repair work is marked separately with its cause: client error, production error or installation error.
Review the differences
The invoice places installed signs next to the quote. Repairs caused by your own error are not invoiced; repairs caused by a client text change after approval are. The project manager reviews borderline cases before the invoice is ready, so the client gets no dispute over something already agreed.
Send invoice with breakdown
The invoice goes out with lines per sign type or per zone, separate lines for extra work and change work, and a payment link. Small change jobs after handover are invoiced per job or collected per period, with location codes as the breakdown. Reminders run automatically and the payment status sits with the project.
Invoicing from the same software.
Quote, sign schedule and job cards already sit in the same software, so nobody has to assemble the invoice from separate lists. Project managers remain responsible for reviewing extra work and repairs; accounts for sending. Clients with purchase order numbers or cost centres per building get those details on the invoice. At the start we record VAT rates and payment terms, and your accountant gets read access or an export per period.
Invoice on the quote or on installed signs
Invoicing on the quote is quick, but leads to credit notes or disputes when signs have been added or dropped. Invoicing on installed signs is more accurate, but requires complete job cards. Many companies use the quote as the basis and invoice differences as extra work or reductions with a breakdown.
Change work per job or collected
Invoicing every small change separately is clear, but produces many small invoices that cost both parties admin. Collecting them per month or quarter is more efficient, but the total can sometimes startle the client. A clear breakdown per location code and date prevents that surprise.
Charge repairs on or absorb them
Repairs caused by an error in the supplied text are for the client; repairs caused by your own production or installation error are for the wayfinding company. The distinction can only be made if the cause is recorded per sign. Without that record, repairs are often absorbed out of goodwill even when they could have been charged.
What we set up for your invoicing.
Invoices per project based on installed signs, extra work and repairs with their cause, plus a combined invoice per period for change work after handover: that is how we set it up, with a payment link and reminders. Together we walk through a project that follows the quote, and a project where signs were added and a few had to be remade. Cost centres per building and purchase order numbers are switched on for clients with several locations.

Explore pricing and optionsHow do we know which repairs we can charge on?
For every repair the cause is recorded: text change by the client after approval, production error or installation error. Only repairs caused by a client change appear on the invoice. The project manager can adjust that in case of doubt before the invoice is sent.
Can we collect small changes together?
Yes. Change jobs after handover can go on one invoice per period, with the location code, sign type and new text on each line. The client then receives one clear invoice with a single payment link instead of many small ones.
What if the client wants to be invoiced per building?
Then signs and changes are grouped per building, with that building's cost centre or purchase order number. Each building gets its own invoice that matches the client's budget, and per invoice you see whether it has been paid.
Can our accountant look at the invoices?
Yes. Your accountant gets read access to invoices, payments and the VAT overview, or an export per period. Which ledger accounts and VAT codes belong to production, installation and change work, we agree with you at the start, so every line is right straight away.
