Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent clients from disputing the number of hours the crane was on site?
Digital invoicing allows you to record real-time clock-in and clock-out timestamps directly on the job site. By sending the invoice the moment the hook is secured, you provide a transparent, immediate record that is much harder to dispute than a paper bill sent weeks later.
What is the best way to ensure I get paid for high mobilization and fuel costs upfront?
Use a digital billing system to issue a 'Deposit Invoice' for mobilization fees before the crane leaves your yard. Accepting instant credit card or ACH payments through the invoice ensures your overhead is covered before you even arrive at the job site.
How can I get paid faster by general contractors who usually take 30 to 60 days to pay?
Switching to digital invoices with integrated 'Pay Now' buttons removes the friction of physical checks and mail delays. Automated payment reminders can be scheduled to ping the contractor's accounts payable department, keeping your invoice at the top of their digital pile.
