Invoice generation and billing automation for services

Purpose

 1.1. Streamline and automate invoice creation for air ambulance missions, from dispatch to payment.
 1.2. Eliminate manual entry and calculation errors by extracting service data (flight hours, medical staff, equipment used, distance, patient details) directly from operational systems.
 1.3. Facilitate rapid billing to private clients, hospitals, and insurance, with customization for regulatory requirements and variable pricing.
 1.4. Integrate with procurement, fleet, HR, supply chain, and compliance systems to gather all necessary chargeable elements in real time.
 1.5. Automatically deliver invoices via multiple channels, reconcile payments, trigger escalations for overdue bills, and generate analytics for revenue cycle management.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. Completion of air ambulance dispatch mission record in backend platform.
 2.2. Validation of transport logs by operations or flight crew.
 2.3. Upload or availability of signed patient care report (PCR) or mission completion certificate.
 2.4. Receipt of cost components (fuel, overtime, hospital landing fees).
 2.5. Internal or scheduled trigger (e.g., end of day, end of mission, upon reaching a threshold).
