Invoice the same day. Get paid faster.
Most UK contractors invoice once a week, if that. Jobs close on Tuesday, the invoice goes out Friday, payment terms are 30 days — and suddenly you're waiting six weeks from doing the work to getting paid. The hold-up is never the customer. It's the gap between the job ending and the paperwork starting.

Why invoices are always late
The invoice can't go out until you know what to charge. You can't charge for parts you've forgotten. Your engineer can't tell you what they used because the job was two weeks ago. By Friday, you're guessing, undercharging or both.
Costs logged on site = accurate invoices, same day
When engineers log parts and labour as they go — from their phone, on site — the job card already has everything by the time they leave. You open the job in WorkLane, review the costs, click "Create invoice" and send. The whole thing takes under two minutes.
The cash flow difference
A contractor with 15 jobs a week, invoicing same-day instead of end-of-week, brings cash in 5-7 days earlier on every invoice. At £800 average invoice value, that's £12,000 that moves from "waiting to be invoiced" to "paid" every single week.
Your invoice, your brand

Common questions
Can my engineers log costs from their phone without a laptop?
Yes. WorkLane works from any phone browser, no app to install. Engineers open it on site, log materials and time as they go, and the costs appear instantly on the job card.
Does WorkLane calculate VAT automatically?
Yes. WorkLane applies the correct VAT rate to each invoice and shows the subtotal, VAT amount and total including VAT — formatted correctly for UK invoicing requirements.
Can I still invoice manually if I want to?
Yes. You can edit any line item on the invoice before sending. WorkLane pre-fills from logged costs but you have full control over what goes on the invoice.
