Invoice within 10 days of completing a work order.
We appreciate the great work you do, and you deserve to get paid promptly. ServiceChannel streamlines the process — providers report as much as 50% shorter time to get paid by their ServiceChannel customers.
Of course, prompt payment depends first and foremost on prompt invoicing. Timely invoicing not only ensures you get paid faster. It also allows your customers to plan and budget, fostering stronger relationships and ensuring more work for you. As a best practice, invoice within 10 days of completing a work order.
