Close the gap between proposal approval and payment received.

Most businesses have a quote-to-cash gap — the proposal is approved, but then someone has to manually generate the contract, get it signed, create the invoice, and chase payment. Every manual handoff is a delay and a potential drop.

Current manual process

How your quote-to-cash works today.

  • Proposal approved verbally or via email — no automatic next step
  • Someone manually generates the contract from a template
  • Contract sent for signature — tracked via email chain
  • Signed contract received — someone manually updates CRM
  • Invoice created manually in accounting software
  • Invoice sent to client — payment tracked via aging report
  • Payment received — someone manually marks deal closed

Cost of the gap

6–10 hours per week, plus delayed revenue.

  • Average 2–5 day delay between approval and contract delivery
  • Signature follow-up often inconsistent or forgotten
  • Invoice sent late because contract completion wasn't tracked
  • Cash collection delays from inconsistent payment follow-up
  • CRM not updated until someone remembers to do it

Automated flow

Approve → Contract → Sign → Invoice → Collect.

quotes-to-cash — proposal-approved
TRIGGERDeal stage moved to "Approved" in CRM
GENERATECreate contract from approved template using deal data
SENDContract sent via DocuSign — client and internal signatory notified
SIGNEDBoth parties sign → CRM updated → deal moved to "Contracted"
INVOICEInvoice generated in accounting software from contract terms
DELIVERInvoice emailed to billing contact on file
TRACKPayment monitored — reminders sent at 15/30/60 days if unpaid

Human checkpoints

Where your team reviews before the next step.

  • Contract review before sending — especially for non-standard terms
  • Pricing review on any invoice that differs from the approved proposal
  • Write-off decisions for uncollected invoices past the defined aging threshold
  • Escalation handling for clients who dispute charges after signing

FAQ

Common questions.

Does this replace our contract or billing software?+

No. We integrate with the tools you already use — DocuSign or Adobe Sign for signatures, your accounting software for invoicing, your CRM for deal tracking. The automation connects them so handoffs happen automatically instead of manually.

What happens when a client doesn't sign within the expected window?+

A follow-up sequence triggers automatically. After defined intervals, the deal is flagged for sales rep review with a summary of outreach attempts.

Can it handle milestone-based billing?+

Yes. Invoice generation can be triggered by milestone completion events in your project management tool, not just calendar dates.
