Business supplies and services: Invoicing software for window display companies
Invoicing software for window display companies that invoices installed windows, changeovers and extra work per branch, with a breakdown the retailer can check and a payment link.
Where invoices stall for window display companies.
After a campaign, a window display company has to invoice what was actually done, and that often differs from the quote. One branch dropped out, another needed an extra round because the store refused access, and at a third a display was replaced. The retailer wants an invoice that is correct per branch or cost centre, because regions sometimes hold their own budget. When the project lead has to pull that from job cards, emails and the schedule, the invoice sits waiting, followed by arguments over extra work nobody can substantiate any more.

From finished work to paid invoice.
Collect completed branches
The software lists every branch in a campaign with its status from the job cards: installed, partly installed, dropped or needing a return visit. Each branch shows the approved quote line and any reports, such as extra waiting time or replaced materials. The invoice basis therefore reflects what actually happened in the stores.
Review extras and deviations
The project lead sees per branch the difference between quote and delivery. A return visit caused by your own mistake is not charged; an extra night because the store stayed shut is, provided it was recorded. They decide per deviation whether it goes on the invoice, and the reason stays visible to anyone checking later.
Invoice to the retailer
The invoice goes out with lines per branch or grouped by cost centre as the retailer requires, and with a payment link. An attachment with placement photos and dates per store can go along. The software handles numbering and VAT; reminders run automatically and per campaign you see what has been paid.
Invoicing from the same software.
Most display studios now track extra work in the project folder and retype invoice lines from the schedule. In the same software, campaign, quote, planning and job cards already sit together, so that retyping disappears. Cost centres and references the retailer insists on, such as a purchase order number per region, are recorded with the campaign so they appear on the invoice by themselves. At the start we set up VAT rates and payment terms; your accountant can look along or receive an export.
Invoice after campaign or per round
One invoice after the whole campaign is tidy, but on large rollouts you carry the costs for a long time. Invoicing per installation round brings money in sooner but means more invoices for the retailer. The right choice depends on campaign size and contract terms; the software supports both.
Approve extras upfront or afterwards
Extra work the retailer approved beforehand causes no argument later. But at night in a store, nobody is around to approve anything. A workable rule is that the crew lead records the extra with a photo and reason, and the project lead puts it to the retailer with that evidence before invoicing.
Invoice per branch or consolidated
Some retailers prefer one invoice with a breakdown per store. Others want separate invoices per region or branch because that is where the budget sits. Separate invoices mean more admin on your side, a consolidated one more work on theirs. You record the preference per retailer and the software follows it.
What we set up for your invoicing.
Per campaign the branches are ready with their status, with the gap against the quote, a review of extras by the project lead and an invoice with a payment link. Before it goes live, we walk through an ordinary campaign together, and a campaign where a store needed a second night. Invoicing per installation round, cost centres per region and attaching placement photos as evidence are switched on when a retailer asks for them.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsIs the invoice sent automatically?
No. The project lead first reviews the deviations and finance sends the invoice. That keeps a human check on extra work and dropped branches. Only once you trust the rules after a number of campaigns might you consider sending standard campaigns faster. Reminders do go out by themselves afterwards.
How do we handle a branch that was only partly done?
For a partial installation the job card shows what was and was not done. The project lead decides whether to invoice that branch in full, pro rata or not yet, for example until the return visit has happened. That choice and its reason go into the breakdown so the retailer understands why.
Can we include the retailer's purchase order number?
Yes. You record the references the retailer requires on the campaign, per region if needed, and they appear automatically on the invoice. If a mandatory reference is missing, the software warns before the invoice is sent, so it is not rejected.
What if the quote was changed later on?
Addenda to the quote are stored on the campaign with a date and approval. The software compares delivery with the latest approved version, not the first. A branch added later therefore ends up on the invoice, and a store that was dropped does not.
