Solutions for Contractors
Billing built for multi-phase contracting work
Contracting jobs rarely bill cleanly on one invoice — there's a deposit before materials, a progress payment mid-job, and a final balance at walkthrough. KinetiqBilling quotes carry that structure from the first estimate through the last payment.
Common challenges
Jobs span weeks or months
Billing everything on one invoice at the end ties up cash flow until the job is complete.
General contractors require PO numbers
Commercial AP departments will bounce an invoice that doesn't reference their PO.
Scope and pricing need a paper trail
Verbal estimates lead to disputes over what was actually quoted and accepted.
How KinetiqBilling helps
Quote the whole job up front
Line-item pricing with a validity date and a secure approval link customers can act on immediately.
Bill deposit, progress, and final separately
Milestone invoicing turns an accepted quote into a payment schedule matched to the job's phases.
Never lose a PO number
PO fields on every invoice keep commercial billing requirements attached to the record.
Choose milestone invoicing and turn an accepted quote into separate invoices per milestone.

Frequently asked questions
How does KinetiqBilling handle multi-phase contracting projects?+
Quotes convert into milestone invoices matched to your project phases — deposit, rough-in, final walkthrough — so billing follows the job instead of forcing one invoice for the whole project.
Can I bill commercial general contractors who require PO numbers?+
Yes, invoices support PO numbers and each customer record can flag that a PO is required, so nothing goes out that will bounce back from a GC's AP department.
