45 days-to-invoice → same day. Receivables at 90–120 days → about 30. Real numbers from commercial shops, published with their names on them.
No story. Just the before/after numbers, from real commercial shops, published with their names on them:
• A full MEP shop: 45 days-to-invoice → same-day invoicing. Their words: faster cash collection, stable A/R for the first time. • Omnia Mechanical Group: receivables cut from 90–120 days down to ~30 days on average. • Certified Fire: was running 2–3 months behind on the bulk of service billing — and losing billable work that never made it onto tickets at all. • Jackson Mechanical, before switching: “We were probably bleeding a ton of money, and just didn’t know it at the time.”

The common thread isn’t software features. It’s that the work gets documented once, in the field, and the invoice follows the work automatically — instead of an office admin reconstructing what happened three weeks later from paper tickets.
The gap between “work done” and “invoice sent” is the cheapest money a commercial contractor can recover. It’s already earned. It’s just not collected.
