How tradies can invoice faster from the job site

A practical workflow for Australian tradies who want to create, send and track invoices from the job site.

For tradies, the best time to invoice is often before the job details disappear from memory. A mobile invoice workflow helps you turn the finished job into a clear PDF invoice before paperwork piles up.

A faster job-site invoice workflow

  1. Pick the client. Use a saved customer or add the new job contact on the spot.
  2. Add labour and materials. Use clear line items so the customer understands the work.
  3. Review GST and total. If GST applies, check the subtotal, GST amount and final total.
  4. Preview the PDF. Make sure the job, customer and payment details are right.
  5. Send it before you leave. The sooner the invoice is sent, the sooner it can be paid.

Do not lose the follow-up

Creating the invoice is only half the job. Tradies also need to know what has been sent, paid or left overdue. A simple status list can replace a separate spreadsheet or notes app follow-up list.
