The problem
Cost-plus invoicing was a nightmare for Charlie and Jossie. Every claim meant chasing receipts across email, glovebox and site, reconciling margins by hand in spreadsheets, and billing clients late. Costs slipped through unclaimed, and days of every month disappeared into putting claims together.
Cost-plus invoicing was a nightmare: chasing receipts, reconciling margins, billing clients late. Now the claim builds itself. We check it and send it.
