The Problem

Contractor billing is often messy because the real work does not arrive in perfect software-ready form.

Supplier invoices come in as PDFs or scans. Job names are not always consistent. Some charges belong together.

Someone still has to gather all of it, decide what belongs to which job, and prepare the final customer invoice.

What DOBE Built

DOBE built a local billing workflow for Star Valley Electric-style contractor work.

The workflow reads supplier invoices, identifies customer order names, groups related invoices into jobs, and presents the operator with a simple review screen.

From there, the operator can adjust labor, markup, or fixed pricing before approving the customer invoice.

How It Works

1

Supplier invoices are added to the workflow.

2

The system reads the invoice image.

3

It finds the customer order or job name.

4

Related invoices are grouped together.

5

The operator reviews the job in a simple screen.

6

Labor and pricing can be adjusted.

7

A customer invoice PDF is prepared for review.

Why It Matters

The workflow is not trying to remove the operator.

It is designed to remove the tedious sorting and first-draft work.

That matters for contractor billing because edge cases happen constantly.

Result

The billing process becomes a review workflow instead of a manual sorting project.

The operator sees active jobs, reviews the invoice preview, makes changes, and approves the output.

The Problem: Contractor invoices arrive messy

The workflow starts with the documents the business already receives instead of asking the operator to rebuild everything by hand.

The Review Screen: Human control before approval

The operator can review the grouped job, adjust pricing, and approve only when the invoice makes sense.

The Output: Customer-facing invoice PDF

The approved job can produce a cleaner customer-facing invoice, keeping markup and internal decisions out of the customer view.
