For UK firms that means VAT invoices in pounds, sent to the company that pays. The re-key The quote is typed again as an invoice, and a call-out charge or bait refill goes missing. The wrong payer The invoice goes to the site kitchen instead of accounts at head office, and sits unpaid. The forgotten invoice The report is signed, but nobody raises the bill until the month-end check. How payment works. Connect Stripe and the invoice email carries a Pay Now link for card payment. Bank transfers and cheques are recorded on the invoice by hand. Deposits on the quote. Take a deposit when the quote is approved and FieldCamp deducts it from the final invoice, so only the balance is due. Four ways pest control firms bill Paper and spreadsheetInvoices typed up from job sheets at month end. Slow, with no card payment from the invoice. General invoicing appTidy invoices, but no visit, site or treatment report behind them, so every line is entered again. Job management with invoicingInvoices tied to jobs. Ask who the invoice goes to on contract work, and whether recurring billing is a real schedule. Billing from the visit recordFieldCamp: quote, job, report and invoice on one record, with a bill-to client for contract work. 03 Core capabilities ## What it has to do — *handled natively.* The checklist to judge any pest control invoicing tool against, ours included. **Invoices from completed visits**Pre-filled with the job’s line items, labour, materials and VAT. **Quote → job → invoice**An approved quote carries through, with any deposit taken off the final invoice. **The company that pays gets the invoice**A bill-to client set apart from the site you treat. **Card payments from the Pay Now link**Through Stripe; bank transfers and cheques are recorded by hand. **VAT invoices in pounds**VAT on every line and the client’s VAT number on their record. **Recurring contract billing**Per visit, monthly, annually, on a custom schedule or when the job closes. **Reminders on unpaid invoices**Emails follow the due date and stop when the invoice is paid. **Treatment report on the same job**When accounts query a charge, the signed report is one click away. 04 The FieldCamp difference ## Client, site and bill payer — *one record, three parties.* The site you treat, the company that owns it and the one that pays are often three different businesses.

Every sync is logged, and records already sent are not duplicated. Xero. Invoices and payments sync, and a single client can be pushed to Xero from their record. QuickBooks. Category mapping, VAT rate sync, and an optional two-way import of changes made in QuickBooks. Wave. Invoices and payments sync the same way, including Stripe card payments taken from the Pay Now link.

For business customers, the law says it should usually be within 60 days (30 for public authorities). If no date is agreed, the payment is late 30 days after the customer gets the invoice. - **The right payer:** send each invoice to the company that pays (often a head office or facilities firm, not the site), with their PO number on it. - **Invoice on the day:** raise the invoice as soon as the visit closes, with the signed service report on the same record, so there’s nothing to dispute. 02 ### When it’s overdue - **Automatic reminders:** in FieldCamp, the Invoice Payment Reminder agent emails the customer on the due date, then 7 and 14 days after it, with a link to the invoice, and stops as soon as it’s paid. - **A phone call:** on the day after the due date, call whoever approves payment. A call to the accounts team often clears it faster than another email. - **A firmer written notice:** at around 30 days overdue, say what you’ll do next and by when. - **Letter before action:** at around 60 days or more, send a formal letter before action, then use a collection agency or make a court claim. 03 ### Your statutory rights on a late commercial payment | What you can claim | Amount | |---|---| | Statutory interest | 8% plus the Bank of England base rate, a year | | Fixed recovery cost, debt up to £999.99 | £40 | | Fixed recovery cost, £1,000 to £9,999.99 | £70 | | Fixed recovery cost, £10,000 or more | £100 | Source: [GOV.UK, late commercial payments](https://www.gov.uk/late-commercial-payments-interest-debt-recovery). Statutory interest doesn’t apply if your contract sets a different rate. Before you chase, have these to hand: how many days overdue the invoice is, the payment terms in the contract, who the bill payer is, and the PO number. 07 Compare ## How to compare *invoicing software.* Use the same criteria on every product you look at, including ours, and check each claim against that vendor’s own documentation. Where the invoice comes from Raised from the completed visit, on the same job as the quote Is the invoice a new document, or the same record later on? Quote → invoice One step; lines, VAT, discounts and deposits carry over Which fields carry forward, and is anything retyped? Who gets the invoice Bill-to client set apart from the site Can a contract invoice go to head office while the quote goes to the site? Payment Card through Stripe from the Pay Now link; other payments recorded by hand Which payment methods work from the invoice itself? Recurring billing Per visit, monthly, annually, custom, or when the job closes Is it a real schedule, or a reminder to raise an invoice? Accounting Xero, QuickBooks and Wave; no Sage Which records sync, and in which direction? Working on site Cloud-based with no offline mode; the app copes with brief signal loss What happens to a form in a basement with no signal? 08 How to choose ## How to choose pest control invoicing software — *six questions.* Put these to any tool you evaluate. If the demo can’t show an answer, billing still runs on memory. 01 ### Does the quote become the invoice? If an approved quote has to be retyped, money leaks between the two. 02 ### Does the invoice reach the company that pays? Contract work needs a bill-to client set apart from the site. 03 ### Can it bill residential and commercial differently? One rule for a one-off treatment, another for a 12-visit contract. 04 ### Is the treatment report on the same record? When a client queries a charge, the signed report should be one click away. 05 ### Does it work with your accounting software? Check for Xero, QuickBooks or Wave, and VAT on every line. 06 ### Can clients pay from the invoice? A Pay Now link for card payment shortens the wait between the visit and the money. 09 FAQ ## Pest control invoicing software, *answered.* **What is pest control invoicing software?** Software that turns completed pest control visits into invoices, bills recurring contracts, keeps treatment records against the job and syncs to your accounting software. For UK firms it should produce VAT invoices in pounds and send each invoice to the company that pays. **How do clients pay?** By card through Stripe, from the Pay Now link in the invoice email. Bank transfers and cheques are recorded on the invoice by hand. A deposit taken on the quote is deducted from the final invoice. **Can invoices go to a different company from the site?** Yes. You set a bill-to client separately from the site, and each contact can be set to receive invoices, quotes or both, so quotes reach the site manager and invoices reach accounts. **Does the quote become the invoice?** Yes. An approved quote converts to a job and then to the invoice, carrying the client, line items, VAT rates, discounts and deposits. Anything added on site is included. **Can the invoice go out as soon as the visit is done?** Yes. When the technician marks the visit complete, a billing rule can raise the invoice from the job and email it with a Pay Now link. Commercial contracts can be left out of that rule and billed on their own schedule. **Does it work with Xero, QuickBooks or Sage?** FieldCamp connects to Xero, QuickBooks and Wave, and payments sync back, including Stripe card payments. There is no Sage integration. **How much does it cost?** Prices aren’t published. You get a written quote in pounds after a walkthrough of your own kind of work. See [UK pricing](/uk/pricing/ "UK pricing") or book a demo. **How do I chase a late payment from a commercial pest control customer?** Send a reminder on the due date, call the person who approves payment the next day, follow up in writing at around 30 days, and send a letter before action at around 60 days. You can also claim statutory interest of 8% plus the Bank of England base rate, and a fixed recovery cost of £40 to £100. In FieldCamp, an AI agent emails reminders on the due date, then 7 and 14 days later, and stops when the invoice is paid. VAT invoice. Shows your VAT number, the rate and the VAT charged on each line. Bill-to client. The company that pays, which may differ from the site treated. Pay Now link. The card payment link in the invoice email once Stripe is connected. Billing rule. An automation that raises and sends an invoice when a visit meets conditions you set. 10 Related ## The rest of the pest control platform.
