The challenge

Billing inspection work should not mean manual spreadsheets

Inspection businesses often manage job pricing, contractor costs, expenses, invoices and payments across separate tools. That creates admin, errors and limited visibility into real job profitability. InventoryBase connects pricing, invoicing and payments to the inspection workflow so every job can be priced, billed and tracked more clearly.

Pricing varies by job

Different property types, sizes, report types and clients often need different rates.

Contractor fees are hard to calculate

Clerk payments, percentages, fixed fees and expenses can quickly become complex.

Invoicing takes too long

Manual invoices and client-specific billing cycles create avoidable admin.

Payment collection is disconnected

Chasing payment separately from the report workflow slows down cash flow.

Margins are unclear

Without connected costs and revenue, it is harder to see profit per job.

Why it matters
