Set a deposit and payment schedule
The problem
Deposits cover materials and reduce the risk of no-shows or non-payment. A clear schedule avoids misunderstandings.
What AI does
AI drafts a short payment schedule for a job from your own deposit, stage payment and final payment rules. You add it to the quote and set the rules yourself.
Time
The steps, in short
