Can materials go on the invoice?

Yes. Job materials can be added as invoice line items with VAT calculated automatically.

Is CONTRACTOR included?

Yes, from the Starter plan ($15/month) and during the 14-day free trial.

Materials leave the yard, get used on site and never reach the invoice. StockSimple links your warehouse stock to CONTRACTOR jobs so every part used is recorded and billable.

In StockSimple, materials issued to a job are deducted from stock and can go straight onto that job's invoice.

Do this with your real stock

What usually goes wrong

Stock you can't see

Items leave the store room and nobody knows where they ended up until you run out.

Spreadsheets out of date

Counts are updated on Friday, if at all, so reorders are guesses.

Costs that never get billed

Materials used for a client are forgotten by the time the invoice goes out.
