01

Where you spend your time

Why Plumbing & HVAC Finance teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

Your technicians finish a boiler swap at four and the invoice is still a pile of parts slips, a signed quote and a card receipt. The money is earned and nobody has billed it yet.

Actionist builds AI agents for plumbing and HVAC finance that draft the invoice, chase the balance, and match each payout to its job. You review the figures, release the payments, and decide on credit.

What matters to you
  • Billed from the closed ticket
    A draft invoice built from labour, parts and add-ons, waiting for your review.
  • Install money on the contract dates
    Deposit and milestone invoices raised when the equipment arrives or the rough-in passes.
  • Overdue balances worked in order
    Graded reminders drafted and the accounts that need a person's call listed.
  • Plan payments that actually land
    Failed cards and expiring cards found before a member goes a month unbilled.
  • Every payout matched to its job
    Processor, lender and cash receipts tied to the invoice, with each fee gap explained.
  • Margin you can see by job type
    Parts, labour and callbacks costed, so repairs, installs and plan visits show their real margin.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Plumbing & HVAC Finance team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • Invoices wait for the evening. A day of parts slips and notes sits unbilled, and the part used on site but missed on the invoice is never recovered.

    An agent drafts each invoice from the closed ticket and checks it against the parts pulled, so you review a finished draft instead of rebuilding the job.

  • Chasing is a spreadsheet nobody trusts. Commercial accounts sit in a portal awaiting sign-off, and the reminders go out late and in the wrong order.

    An agent works the ageing list in order, drafts graded reminders, checks the portal status, and lists the accounts that need a call from a person.

  • Supplier statements are ticked by hand, so a duplicated invoice or a price jump is found after it is paid, and nobody knows the real margin on a job.

    An agent matches each statement to the invoices entered, flags the mismatches, and lands the parts on the right jobs so margin by job type is visible.

  • Month-end drags and the slow season arrives as a surprise. The pack is built from five exports, and the cash trough between seasons is guessed.

    An agent assembles the pack from the books and forecasts the trough from last year's invoices and booked installs, so the owner decides with the numbers in front.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA technician closes a job cardfires within about a minute
The agent automatically

When a job is marked complete, the agent reads the labour, parts and add-ons, checks the customer's terms and any deposit already paid, and builds the invoice as a draft. It compares each line with the job card and notes anything that looks missing. The draft waits for your approval before it is sent.

Trust & control

You stay in control

A finance agent works in your books and in front of customers who owe you money, so control matters. Actionist is built so you approve what goes out, see what the agent read, and keep every payment decision yourself.

Invoices and reminders wait for approval

By default each invoice and each reminder is a draft for you to review before it reaches a customer. You can widen autonomy per document type, and anything touching a refund always asks first.

The agent prepares, you decide

Credit terms, write-offs, payment plans, refunds and tax positions are your decisions or your accountant's. The agent never pays a bill or moves money, and it gives no tax advice.

Approve from Telegram or Slack

Drafts can reach you in Telegram or Slack, so an invoice or a supplier mismatch is approved with a tap from the office or the van park.

Every step is logged

Each run records what the agent read and drafted, so you or your accountant can trace any figure. Credentials are held in an encrypted vault, and your data stays yours.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my finance team need to be technical to use AI agents for plumbing and HVAC finance?
No. You describe the routine in plain words, such as drafting an invoice from a closed job, and show a few examples of how you would write it. You refine the agent by editing its drafts until they match your pricing and tone. There is no code to write.
How do I get started with Actionist for a plumbing and HVAC finance team?
Book a free demo, connect your field service app and your accounting software, and pick one routine, such as the invoice drafts or the supplier statement match. The agent drafts and you approve. Add more routines once the first feels right.
How do I make customised AI agents for how our shop bills and costs jobs?
Describe what you want in plain language, for example splitting an install into deposit, equipment and final bills. What this page shows is an example, not a limit. You can build a custom agent for any finance routine your team repeats.
How quickly can we set Actionist up for our finance team?
Many teams have a first routine producing drafts within a day. Connect the accounting software and the field service app, point the agent at one routine, and adjust it from your own edits. Each further routine takes a few minutes to add.
Our field service app and our wholesaler's portal have no API. Will it still work?
Yes. Actionist agents operate the screen the way a person does, so they can read job costs and supplier statements in tools with no API, as well as apps that connect. Computer use runs in the cloud.
Will it send an invoice or a reminder to a customer without us approving it?
No. By default every invoice and every reminder is a draft for you to approve. You can widen autonomy for plain repair invoices later through Approval Modes. Anything involving a refund or a credit always asks first.
Can it pay bills, decide who gets credit, or give tax advice?
No. The agent prepares: the payment list, the ageing list, the sales tax figures. A person releases payments, sets credit terms, approves write-offs and decides tax positions with your accountant. It never moves money.
Does an AI agent replace our bookkeeper or our accountant?
No. It takes the rekeying, matching and chasing so your bookkeeper reviews drafts instead of building them. Your accountant still signs off the accounts and the returns. The agent leaves a trail they can follow.
Bank details, card data and customer addresses are sensitive. How is that handled?
Credentials are held in an encrypted vault and the agent only touches the tools you connect. Every run is logged for you to check, and your data is not used to train models. If you need it on your own infrastructure, you can self-host.
