Why does revenue leak before the invoice is even created?
The problem is rarely the invoice itself — it’s what happens before it. When completed work isn’t visible to finance, billable hours sit outside the process, or write-offs live in separate files, money is lost before anyone opens a template. By the time the invoice is made, the damage is done.
What does automated invoicing deliver?
Every billable item — quoted work, extra hours, expenses, and cancellation fees — is captured at the right moment and turned into an approved invoice. Finance sees what’s billable directly in the workflow, and every credit, reminder, and reissue stays linked to the original record. The result: shorter payment cycles and a healthier cash position.
How does Zertic
invoicing work?
Zertic takes billing from captured work to a sent, archived invoice in one continuous flow. The (execution and/or certification) workflow triggers the invoicing. Invoices are automatically created in draft, only for finance to approve.

Zertic finance API seamlessly integrates with your finance system, and sending invoices from your own finance system is fully supported.
Time and expense tracking, built into the workflow
Accurate invoices start with accurate hours. Zertic captures time and expenses inside the audit workflow, so approved data flows straight into billing.
- Project-linked time capture — auditors can book time inside Execution, where the project, task, and site are already known, so entries are fast and correctly attributed. Or you can decide to just invoice the budgeted hours without requiring the auditors to book their hours.
- Expense declaration — travel and other costs are logged with attachments against the right project, giving finance the full context for reimbursement and billing.
- Approve and lock — managers approve time in one click; approved entries lock into an audit trail that protects data integrity for finance and accreditation.

What changes when invoicing is part of the workflow?
Why choose Zertic for certification invoicing?
Zertic Invoicing is built for the realities of certification billing — quotes, execution, cancellations, additional hours, and accreditation-driven traceability all affect the invoice. It gives finance a controlled process while keeping billing tied to the actual audit lifecycle.
