Solutions/Operating failure 04/Billing & collection control

Your ₹299 parcel has live tracking. Your ₹4.76 lakh doesn’t.

Most pest control offices keep a board like this one: five unpaid bills, a guess next to each, and someone to phone for the real answer. Wipe it to see the same five bills the way UPGEAR keeps them.

Work finishes every day. Bills leave once a month.

Month-end pile? Gone. Bill goes same day.
— Priya · accounts

Sunrise’s kitchen job has been ready to bill since 3 September. It is waiting for the month to end, because that is when the proof, the Excel sheet and the office finally meet. Play one month and watch finished work pile up.

Bills usually go out
FINISHED, NOT BILLED, ON AN AVERAGE DAY ₹12.0 lakh ₹18 lakh a month × 20 days ÷ 30
BILLED WITHIN A DAY OF PROOF ₹60,000 ₹11.4 lakh of your work would start its payment terms sooner, on any given day.
Delay means days from proof complete to bill sent. A monthly batch averages about 20: roughly 15 days of work waiting for the month to end, plus 5 to raise the bills. Twice a month is about 10, weekly about 5. Change the inputs and the arithmetic follows.

What you set up once

Five decisions, and the whiteboard can come off the wall.

Whiteboard is off the wall. Truly.
— Priya · accounts

Your office already makes these calls every month, mostly from memory. During implementation each one is set up in UPGEAR, and every bill after that follows it. Tick each one as you read.

Nothing set yet. The whiteboard stays up.

UPGEAR does not replace your CA or your books in Tally. It makes sure every bill that reaches them came from a visit with complete proof, and shows who holds it until it is paid.

1-HOUR DEMO

Bring the oldest line on your whiteboard. We’ll trace it on the call.

From your numbers above: about ₹12.0 lakh of finished work waits for a bill on an average day. On the call we’ll show where that sits in UPGEAR.

Bring the bill, the customer’s last message about it and the visit dates if you have them. That is enough to map where it would sit in UPGEAR and who would hold it.

Older bills make better demos.
