Kessel handles the work between a signed field ticket and a finished invoice. No new workflow for your team.

Finishing the work doesn’t get the invoice paid. The paperwork behind it does.

Unbilled
Finished jobs waiting on an incomplete ticket.
Short-paid
Invoices trimmed for backup nobody reassembled.
Delayed
Completed work waiting on signatures, POs, or change orders.

Why hasn't this job been billed?

Missing change order.

Who has it?

The PM said he sent it last Tuesday.

What rate did we bill the crane at?

Let me check the ticket, the PO, and the rate sheet.

Why did they cut $2,300 from this invoice?

The backup wasn't attached.

Kessel checks the paperwork, catches what’s missing, and gets the job invoice-ready.

    It finds the PO, rates, contract, change orders, and correspondence behind the job.

  3. 03

    Kessel finishes the paperwork

    It checks the numbers, gets missing backup, and keeps the job moving.

  4. 04

    The invoice goes out

    Once the job clears your billing rules, Kessel prepares and submits it like you already do.

No. Kessel runs inside the way your operation already works. Your team handles the rare exception, not data entry or paperwork chasing.
