Our client is a full-service contractor specializing in multi-family construction projects, offering a range of construction and renovation services under one roof.

The client struggled to track overdue invoices and lacked visibility into unpaid bills. They needed an automated system to calculate invoice aging, track overdue payments, and provide real-time notifications. Additionally, they wanted a way to dynamically update invoice statuses and alert stakeholders about aging invoices.

We automated the invoice aging process by integrating a dynamic system that recalculates aging based on key dates. We also implemented color-coded visual flags and a real-time notification system to alert stakeholders when invoices became overdue. This streamlined their invoice tracking and improved financial management.

    Implemented an automated process to calculate invoice aging based on the "Invoice Send Date" field. When an "Invoice Restart Date" was provided, the system recalculated aging accordingly.

  2. Developed a custom Apex solution to compare aging values across multiple invoices related to a single opportunity and update the opportunity’s aging field with the highest value.
