Invoicing Software for Irish Contractors

The invoice follows the certificate, not the other way round.

Irish contractors bill from the certified record: sales invoices generate from certified valuations, applications for payment and milestones, retention is calculated automatically, and every purchase invoice is matched against the PO, the certified valuation and the delivery note before approval. It all syncs to the accounts, coded to the project.

Billing that stays tied to the certified record

Construction invoicing software for Irish contractors keeps the paperwork honest in both directions. Outgoing, sales invoices generate from certified valuations, variations and milestones, applications for payment run in the platform, and retention is calculated automatically and tracked per subcontract through to release. Incoming, three-way matching verifies each supplier invoice against the purchase order, the certified valuation and the delivery note before it reaches approval. Every invoice then syncs to the accounting system finance already runs, coded to its project and cost heads: Archdesk is a certified Xero partner and integrates with Sage, so there is one record from application to payment.

No paying for work that was not done

Every supplier invoice is matched against the purchase order, the certified valuation and the delivery note before approval, so a mismatch becomes a query, not a payment.

What you bill is what was certified

Sales invoices generate from certified valuations, variations and milestones, with retention calculated automatically, so the invoice never gets ahead of the certified position.

Approvals that keep moving

Custom approval logic routes each invoice to whoever can confirm the work on site, with automated notifications so approvals keep moving instead of waiting for the payment run.

Chasing starts before the money is late

Payment status and due dates are tracked per project, with cashflow analysis built from the same invoice data, so the chasing starts before the money is late.

Finance keeps its own system, and every invoice arrives explained

Invoices sync to the ledger coded to their project and cost heads: Archdesk is a certified Xero partner and integrates with Sage, so the commercial record and the accounts stay in step without re-keying.

Frequently Asked Questions: Construction Invoicing

What does construction invoicing software do?

It checks every invoice against the records that justify it before anyone approves payment. Archdesk generates sales invoices from certified applications, variations and milestones, matches purchase invoices against the PO, the valuation and the delivery note, and syncs everything to your accounting system coded to the project.

What is three-way matching on purchase invoices?

Each supplier invoice is verified against the purchase order, the certified valuation and the delivery note before it reaches approval, so nobody pays for work or materials that were not delivered. Subcontractor payments are supported in the same process.

Which accounting systems does Archdesk sync invoices to?

Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365, SAP and Zoho, among others, with an open API for connected systems. Cost codes map to your ledger and every invoice arrives coded to its project, so month-end stops being a reconciliation exercise.

How is retention handled on invoices?

Retention is calculated automatically on every sales invoice. Because invoices generate from certified valuations, variations and milestones, what lands on the invoice is what was agreed and delivered.

Can invoice processing be automated?

Yes. Templates generate outgoing invoices, OCR reads incoming ones, batch processing handles volume, and approval workflows with automated notifications keep both directions moving without anyone chasing.

Does Archdesk handle progress invoicing?

Yes. Invoicing runs on the project record: sales invoices generate from certified payment applications, variations and milestones, progress invoicing runs against the certified value, and approval workflows and payment tracking sit with the same records.

How do payment notices and retention fit into the invoicing cycle?

In Irish practice, paying a subcontractor runs on the application and certification cycle: payment notices set out what will be paid, and retention is held and released under the subcontract. Invoices, approvals and payment records live on the same project record in Archdesk, so the paper trail sits with the numbers it belongs to.

Do applications for payment and invoicing share one record?

Yes. Applications for payment run in the platform on the same project records the invoices generate from, so the application, the certified valuation and the sales invoice always agree, one story from first application to final payment.

How is retention handled for Irish contractors?

Retention is calculated automatically on every sales invoice and tracked per subcontract, so balances and release timing stay visible with the invoicing record, on live jobs and on jobs deep in the defects period alike.

Does Archdesk integrate with the accounting systems Irish contractors use?

Yes. Archdesk is a certified Xero partner and integrates with Sage, so every invoice arrives in the ledger coded to its project and cost heads without re-keying, and finance keeps its own system.

Can the cashflow position be read per project?

Yes. Payment status and due dates sit per project, in and out, with cashflow analysis built from the same invoice data, so each job and the whole portfolio read from live invoicing records rather than a month-end export.

The purchase orders and valuations that invoices are matched against come from construction procurement.
