Solution

Automate every roofing invoice from job to payment

Manual invoicing is killing your roofing business productivity and cash flow. You finish installing gutters on a Tuesday afternoon, but you're still creating invoices by hand on Thursday morning because you got pulled onto three emergency repairs. Meanwhile, your customers are sitting on unpaid bills and you're chasing money instead of booking new work. Our roofing invoice automation software eliminates the paperwork nightmare, automatically generating accurate invoices from job completion through to payment collection, so you get paid faster and spend less time on admin.

Hours lost on manual invoicing

Your crew finishes a job at 4pm, but you're stuck in the office until 7pm creating invoices by hand. Every invoice means switching between spreadsheets, checking measurements, calculating materials, and hoping you haven't missed anything that'll cost you later. You've got three completed tile repairs from Monday that still need invoicing, a gutter replacement from last week, and two storm damage jobs from the weekend. By the time you've manually built all the invoices, you've missed two new enquiry calls and lost potential work to competitors who respond faster.

Payments dragging out for weeks

Customers conveniently 'forget' about invoices sitting in their email, and you're chasing payments instead of booking new jobs. Without automated follow-ups and easy payment options, your cash flow suffers while your competitors get paid faster. You've got $12,000 worth of completed roofing work sitting unpaid because customers claim they never received the invoice, or it's buried in their inbox, or they need to wait for the next pay cycle. Meanwhile you're paying suppliers, wages, and insurance premiums out of your own pocket while waiting for money you've already earned.

Pricing errors eating profits

One miscalculation on labour hours or material costs can turn a profitable job into a loss. Manual invoicing means higher risk of errors, missed charges for extras, and no easy way to track what's actually making you money. Last month you forgot to charge for the extra safety equipment needed on a steep tile roof, missed billing for two hours of overtime when the job ran late, and undercharged for the premium flashings the customer requested. Those 'small' errors cost you $800 profit on a single job, and you only discovered it when doing your BAS return.

Step by Step

How This Actually Works

When your crew finishes a roofing job and marks it complete on their phone, our system automatically pulls all the job details - materials used, labour hours, any extras or variations, and photos of completed work. No more rushing back to the office to manually build invoices from scattered notes and memory.

The invoice generates instantly with accurate pricing pulled from your pre-loaded rates for different roofing materials, labour types, and common extras like scaffolding or waste removal. Every line item is calculated correctly, GST is added automatically, and the professional invoice gets emailed to your customer within minutes of job completion.

Your customer receives the invoice with a direct link to pay online via PayWolf, and if they don't pay within your set timeframe, automated reminder emails go out without you lifting a finger. You can see exactly which invoices are paid, pending, or overdue from one dashboard, and your accounting software like Xero automatically updates when payments come through.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the software handle different roofing job types like repairs, replacements, and new installs?

Yes, you can set up different pricing templates for repairs, full replacements, new construction, gutter work, and any other roofing services you offer. Each template includes the specific materials, labour rates, and common extras for that job type, so invoices are automatically accurate whether it's a small tile repair or a complete roof replacement.

What happens if I need to add extras or variations after the job is finished?

You can easily add variations, extra materials, or additional labour to any job before the invoice is sent. If the invoice has already been sent, you can create a variation invoice for the extras that automatically references the original job. Everything stays connected and your customer can see exactly what additional work was completed.

Does this work with my existing accounting software and payment systems?

Gridwolf integrates directly with Xero, MYOB, and ClearBooks, so all your invoices and payments automatically sync to your accounting software. For payments, our PayWolf system accepts credit cards, bank transfers, and direct debits, or you can connect your existing merchant account. Your BAS reporting stays accurate and up-to-date without any manual data entry.
