Save Time And Cashflow Cycle With Billing And AR Management Solutions


Automated Progress Invoice Allocation

Oftentimes, firms need to track unbilled WIP balance at project level but struggle with the misalignment that progress invoice is only issued at the client level.

We can then pull this information into Power BI for further analytics.
