Progressive Billing That Remembers

For larger projects, billing isn't one-and-done. You bill at milestones, track what's been paid, and make sure every contract and change order is accounted for.

  • Percentage-Based Billing

    Bill 25%, 50%, 75% of each contract and change order as work progresses

  • Automatic Tracking

    ProTrades remembers previous progressive invoices and builds new ones from there

  • Auto-Calculated Totals

    All contracts and change orders combined into one invoice total

Example: Commercial Project

Original Contract$50,000
Change Order #1$5,000
Change Order #2$3,000

Progressive Invoice #2 (50% complete):

Bill this period$29,000

(50% of $58,000 total = $29,000, minus $0 previously billed)
