Who it is for
Invoice tool for mobile service businesses
Mobile services invoice in a driveway, a corridor or a car park. The tool has to work from a phone, with the line typed once.
Built for the gap between two stops
A mobile service business is a sequence of arrivals. The invoice that waits until you are home is the one that gets the address wrong. Type the customer and the count before you start the engine. Eight windows at 7, plus the frame wipe, is a complete bill. Weak signal is normal. Write the line while you still have the numbers, and send the text when the phone has a connection. InvoiceTXT will not store a route, a vehicle check or a parts bin. It will give each stop its own link. If you run five crews and a dispatcher, you will outgrow a personal texting habit and should look at field-service software for the scheduling. Keep the invoice simple even then.
Clearview Vans finished the office windows: eight panes plus the frame wipe, $71, due today. https://invoicetxt.com/i/your-link
Invoice the stop before the next one starts
The count of windows is obvious in the car park and fuzzy an hour later.
Use a quantity, not a story
“8 windows @ 7” is the whole argument. A paragraph about the weather is not.
Expect bad signal
The typing can happen offline in your notes. The send happens when the message will actually leave.
Separate travel only if you charge it
A fuel line you never mentioned on site will not survive the reply.
What to put on this invoice
- The site or the customer
- A quantity and a rate
- Add-ons you named before you started
- Due on receipt if that is how vans get paid
Questions about this job
Can one link cover the whole day?
Only if one customer bought the whole day. Each household gets its own invoice.
Do you track mileage?
No. If you charge travel, add it as a line you agreed. The product does not read your van’s odometer.
What if the customer is a facility manager?
They may still want a PDF. The link has one. The SMS tells them it is there.
Mobile services get paid stop by stop. The invoice should be finished at the stop.
