Purpose
1 Automate linking of project milestones in modular home construction to the generation of client invoices, ensuring real-time synchronization between project progress and financial workflows.
2 Automatically generate accurate invoices based on milestone completions, reducing manual work, errors, and time-to-cash.
3 Enable modular home dealers to automate the end-to-end billing process, enforce contractual billing terms, and tracking, and ensure enhanced project visibility and compliance.
4 Facilitate seamless communication between project, finance, and client communications with automated notifications and billing event triggers.
Trigger Conditions
1 Automatedly triggered on a project management milestone completion (date, status update, percentage complete, document upload).
2 Triggered when a project manager marks a task as “complete” or submits milestone documentation.
3 Based on reaching predefined completion thresholds (% of budget, % of module assembly, shipment, or onsite installation).
