Story:

Mr. Cost Plus Contractor has to provide a billing package with his progress bill invoices that includes all of the original invoices from the subcontractors. It takes 4-5 hours to gather all of the information together for each billing and there are at least 5 invoices to process per month.

Process:

This app creates a PDF document that includes the 3-7 Progress Bill and any attachments in the 4-2 Payable Invoices screens related to that invoice (ex: AP invoices from Vendor, conditional releases, vendor purchase orders).

Return on Investment:

Now they attach the original invoice and lien release to every AP invoice transaction. This eliminates all of their special processes by creating one standard process for entering all expenses. There are also no more missing invoices that they have to look for. The time for each billing has been cut down to a click of a app. This app pays for itself with the first invoice.
