As a craftsman, you want to spend your time doing what you do best: delivering quality workmanship and serving your customers. But when you have to create invoices yourself, follow up on payments, and keep track of all your tasks, it can quickly become overwhelming. Alunta helps you automate the invoicing of your service visits, giving you more time for what really matters – your craft and your customers.
Administration can be made easier for your service visits
Craftsmen often face a multitude of practical tasks in their daily work: from booking new jobs and ordering materials to handling urgent customer issues. In all this, invoicing and bookkeeping rarely top the to-do list. Yet it is crucial for the survival of your business that you send out invoices on time, follow up on payments, and have a clear overview of your finances. Alunta provides the solution for craftsmen who have service visits and thus offer their customers ongoing maintenance. When tasks pile up, it’s easy to postpone invoicing or forget to check if the customer has actually paid. This can lead to missing payments or delayed income, which ultimately affects your business negatively. In addition, incorrect or delayed invoices can cause customer dissatisfaction—and a headache for you to fix. Many craftsmen also use various spreadsheets and manual lists that don’t communicate with each other. This means extra data entry work and increases the risk of something slipping through the cracks. In short, the lack of a unified system can cost both time and money, while draining your energy. With a modern, automated system like Alunta, you can eliminate all these problems.

Full automation of invoice creation
For many craftsmen, creating invoices is one of the most time-consuming administrative tasks. It often requires finding the customer’s details, describing the work performed, and entering prices manually. With Alunta’s full automatic invoice creation feature, you avoid this tedious process and simultaneously reduce the risk of errors. With Alunta, you can wave goodbye to the above process. First, you define in Alunta the products, services, or standard tasks you typically invoice for. You can set prices, possible discounts, and repetition patterns—for instance, if a customer has a maintenance subscription or ongoing service agreement. Then you link the customer to that specific agreement, and the system takes care of the rest. When the renewal date approaches, Alunta automatically creates an invoice based on the information you have already saved. So you no longer need to enter amounts, descriptions of the work, or the customer’s address every time. The system either sends the invoice directly to the customer or makes it ready for your approval, depending on your settings. The result is less stress in your daily life and a better experience for your customers, who receive a correct invoice on time, every time. You reduce delayed payments because the invoicing is done as soon as the work is finished or the agreement is renewed. At the same time, you ensure that no tasks are forgotten and that you always know who has paid and who has not. Also read our article: Five good reasons to automate your invoicing.
