Function Capability Why It Matters
Time & Materials Billing Track and capture all contractually billable items Streamline billing and reduce client disputes. InEight Billings enables real-time capture of all contractually billable items—including labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractor costs—under time and materials (T&M) agreements. Built-in validations ensure you align every charge with contract terms, while line-item details, backup documentation, and rates are automatically formatted into customer-ready billing packages. Integration with contract data ensures every billed item is traceable to approved work and pricing structures, reducing errors and turnaround time.
Change Order Management Track pending vs. approved cost and revenue changes Provide accurate, auditable billing for all change-related work. InEight Billings supports you in generating costed or uncosted Labor, Equipment, and Materials (LEMs) for client submittal on work performed against approved change orders. Revenue reporting reflects all tracked changes, helping you maintain a clear record of what’s been completed, approved, and billed—so financial exposure stays visible and controlled.
Change Pricing & Markups Manage billing rates and markups for real-time cost estimates Apply contract billing rates and markups with precision. InEight Billings manages contract billing rates and markups to help you produce real-time cost estimates or actuals for work performed against identified changes. This ensures that billing accurately reflects both contracted rates and approved markups, improving transparency and trust across all project stakeholders.

InEight Billings enables real-time visibility by making all labor and equipment hours captured in the field immediately available for rapid client report turnaround (LEMs). This integration between field progress and billing ensures you can generate accurate, auditable reports without delay, supporting faster approvals and reduced administrative overhead.
Daily Logs & Field Reports Record daily jobsite notes and attachments Streamline LEM generation with complete field documentation. InEight Billings pulls information directly from field progress logs to support client reporting on Time and Material projects. Field comments, quantities, and documentation captured during daily reporting are automatically available for issuance on LEMs, helping you maintain full transparency, traceability, and compliance with client billing requirements.

Automated integrations eliminate duplicate entry and reduce the risk of data discrepancies.
Project Cost Capture Integrate field expenditures into project billing Reflect true project spend across all billable work. InEight Billings captures actual costs—including labor hours, material quantities, and invoices—and connects directly with your accounting system via open APIs. Whether entered manually or synced from ERP or payroll systems, these actuals help you maintain accurate, up-to-date billing that reflects real progress and financial performance from the field through closeout.
