🗃️ Storage Billing Made Simple

In Movegistics, storage charges are treated like any other line item—giving you the ability to:

• Add storage fees to a job invoice upfront (e.g., “First 30 days free, then $100/month starting July 1”).

• Create custom line items for different storage types: vault storage, container storage, overnight hold, etc.

• Track storage usage per job or customer using Work Request notes, tags, and estimate templates.

• Apply valuation protection specifically for storage as required by your service policies.

📌 These charges show up clearly in the estimate and invoice—ensuring there’s no confusion about recurring costs.

🔁 Automating Recurring Storage Billing

Movegistics lets you streamline recurring storage invoicing by:

• Cloning previous invoices for long-term customers each billing cycle (e.g., monthly, quarterly).

• Editing only the date and due amount, without rebuilding the invoice each time.

• Attaching system-generated reminders or auto-email templates so your customers receive invoices like clockwork.

🔄 Example: If a customer pays $150/month for 2 storage vaults, simply clone the last invoice, update the date, and resend—done in 30 seconds.

📥 Track Storage Payments Seamlessly

Your finance and admin teams can:

• View all unpaid or overdue storage invoices with filters inside the Invoices module.

• Apply deposits or partial payments toward the total balance and see running totals.

• Add custom notes or account aging details to keep long-term storage accounts compliant and current.

• Set default due dates and recurring payment terms to match your storage agreements.

💬 Pro Tip: Use tags like Storage, Long-Term, or 30-Day Hold to create filtered invoice views for targeted follow-ups.

🔐 Improve Customer Transparency

Recurring storage charges are often a source of confusion—clear invoicing fixes that:

• Each invoice lists exact start/end periods, fees, and terms for storage services.

• Your customer receives a PDF and email copy with every new billing cycle.

• Optional terms like "Payment required to release goods" can be added to the invoice notes for added clarity.

📄 This reduces disputes, missed payments, and last-minute complaints when customers retrieve stored items.
