Templates allow you to create easily repeatable invoice layouts and information. So, no matter who creates the invoice, the customer will receive a similar experience. Not only does this allow you to rest easy knowing your business documents are looking professional, but it also helps customers too.
When they receive a similar document for each invoice, your customers can save time. They know where to look for the key information and can quickly check details when they receive the document. It might seem like a small thing, but it's something your business can do to make life easier for customers and build up loyalty.
On a similar note, when your invoices share the same layout your team can save time by knowing where to look when checking details.
In WorkGuru.io, the templates work by pulling details from your project information using merge fields. So, the information on your invoice will appear as it appears in the project. As your team doesn’t need to double handle this data, the chances of mistakes are significantly reduced.
If you don’t use templates you’re relying on your staff to remember to add in all the important details. This goes beyond the amount due. With templates, you can easily add in details like payment methods to make it easier for customers to pay, or share information about other services you offer.
When you do with a template you can make sure all invoices use the most up-to-date version of information, and you’re not making invoicing more complicated for your team.
Creating easy-to-use templates means that your team doesn’t need to be invoicing experts to create a new document. You may want to limit the number of people in your business who are allowed to send an invoice, but making the admin around invoicing easier means that you can share the time more evenly across your team.
It also means that your staff can step up and help with invoicing more easily if people are away sick or on annual leave.
