PLATFORM · GET PAID

Invoicing software for fab shops

To bill the job, you re-type every line into your accounting package, email a PDF, and start chasing the phone. On a big job you invoice the whole thing at once, because building a deposit invoice by hand is more trouble than it's worth - so you carry the cash-flow risk. Factory invoices straight from the order, the whole job or a deposit, the numbers land in Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks Online without re-keying, and your customer pays by card online from a Pay Now button on the invoice.

WHERE INVOICING IN TWO SYSTEMS COSTS YOU

Billing the job shouldn't mean keying it twice

The work's done, but getting paid is its own job - re-typed lines, a chased phone call, and cash flow you carry because a deposit invoice is too fiddly to build.

WHAT A REAL BILL LOOKS LIKE

A A$20,000 job, billed 50% up front and the rest on ship

Before you start, you invoice a 50% deposit - Options, Invoice, percentage, 50% - and it pushes to Xero as its own invoice with its own number. The invoice goes out with a Pay Now button, your customer pays the deposit by card online, and the payment records itself against the job.

When the job ships, you invoice the remaining balance in one click; that one carries a Pay Now button too, the customer pays the final amount, the order flips to Paid, and the Sales Order list shows nothing outstanding. You never re-typed a line, and you never had to work out the balance yourself.

OUTSTANDINGA$0.00
RIGHT-SIZED, NOT AN ERP

You outgrew the spreadsheet. You're not buying an ERP to send an invoice.

Factory bills straight off the work you already quoted and ran, keeps the accounting you already use, and is up in weeks not months. It's the same system your quote, schedule, and floor live in - so getting paid is just the last step of the loop, not a separate chore in another tool.
