  1. 1The week closes. Ontem assembles invoices from approved time and expenses, grouped the way each customer requires.
  2. 2One customer's hours are still awaiting approval. Ontem queues a reminder to the approver with the timesheet attached.
  3. 3A rate on one assignment does not match the agreement on file. The invoice is held for review instead of going out wrong.
  4. 4Invoices are sent. A lump-sum payment arrives days later and Ontem proposes the match across eleven invoices.

How billing works in staffing

Billing runs weekly against approved timesheets, with rates and markups that vary by customer, role, and assignment. Many customers dictate invoice formats and grouping. Volume is high, margins are tight, and a rejected invoice can push payment a full cycle.

Where cash gets delayed

  • Timesheets submitted late or awaiting customer approval
  • Rate and markup discrepancies caught after invoicing
  • Invoices rejected for the wrong format or grouping
  • Expenses missing receipts or approvals
  • Payments arriving as lump sums across many invoices

The context Ontem brings together

Customers, invoices, balances, credit memos, and payments.

Documents

Timesheets, expense receipts, rate agreements, and contracts.

Email

Timesheet approvals, disputes, and remittance advice.

Operations

Active assignments, approved hours, and unresolved issues.

01

Bill from approved time

Approved hours and expenses flow into invoices with the right rates, in the format each customer requires.

02

Catch discrepancies before sending

Rate mismatches and missing approvals are flagged before the invoice goes out, not after it is rejected.

03

Match lump-sum payments

Payments that cover many invoices are matched across them, with exceptions surfaced for review.
