🏗️ Operations: Confirm Before You Roll Out

Payments help the Operations team validate that a job is greenlit:

• Check for deposit payment before dispatching a crew—especially for long-distance or high-value jobs.

• View invoice balance status directly from the Job Calendar or Work Order, ensuring jobs aren’t completed without collection plans.

• Use payment status tags (e.g., Deposit Paid, Balance Pending) to prioritize customer communication.

✅ Pro Tip: Filter jobs by unpaid balances so dispatch and front-office staff can follow up before assigning trucks or finalizing the crew.

💳 Payments & Final Job Completion

In Movegistics 5.0:

• Work Orders can be marked complete even if the job hasn’t been paid in full, but...

• Jobs do not disappear from the crew calendar until completed and invoiced—helping avoid billing gaps.

• Once payment is made, invoice status updates automatically, giving visibility to all teams.

🔐 This ensures that only paid or reconciled jobs exit the pipeline—reducing loss and dispute risk.

Payments drive all downstream accounting workflows:

• Export all payment data with filters for date range, job type, or location number, perfect for QuickBooks or financial audits.

• Easily identify overdue invoices, failed payments, or refunded transactions.

📊 Movegistics gives your finance team full control over accounts receivable without needing third-party tools.

💰 Payroll Insights: Pay What Was Earned

Payroll isn’t just about hours—it’s about work completed and billed. Payments help:

• Confirm that a job has been invoiced and paid before crew commissions are calculated.

• Match packing labor line items or specialty charges (e.g., pianos, gun safes) to bonus pay events.

• Verify that minimums, overages, or add-ons were paid by the customer—before including them in team bonuses.

🧠 Pro Tip: Tag invoices with “Packing Included” or “Overtime” to help admins flag bonus-eligible jobs during payroll review.
