From work order to invoice: why speed is cash flow

Between 'job done' and 'invoice sent' many trade businesses have a week or more. That week literally costs you money.

The math behind the delay

Send invoices on average a week after the job, with a 30-day payment term? Then you finance the materials and hours of every job for five weeks. At a few hundred thousand in revenue, that's structurally tens of thousands of euros 'in transit.'

Why the work order sits

After the job you want to move on to the next. Working out the order — hours, materials, looking up rates — is admin, and admin always loses to real work. Completely logical, and completely solvable.

The short route

Work order in (photo, email, or app), the AI reads it out, the draft invoice is ready with your rates, and you approve. Invoicing on the day of the job becomes the new normal, and your cash flow visibly improves.
