Invoice Koi

Invoicing for roofers

Roofing quotes are won or lost on how clearly the scaffold is priced, and roofing invoices are written in weather nobody wants to hold a phone in. Then a storm comes through and there are nine call-outs in a week, all of them needing paperwork.

What roofers
put on an invoice.

These go in your price book once, with your own prices against them. After that a line is one tap: the item, the description, the unit and the price fill themselves, and the totals resolve underneath.

Prices are yours. Invoice Koi ships a handful of round placeholder lines to start from and never fills your book with figures you did not set.

02Why roofers use it

Three things that
save the evening.

Scaffold priced where they can see it

Its own heading with its own subtotal, so the customer comparing three quotes can see what is access and what is roof.

Written on the roof, not at midnight

It all works with no signal, so the invoice is built while you are still looking at the job rather than reconstructed from memory that evening.

One nudge a day about what is late

At an hour you pick, the phone names what is overdue and what it comes to. Nothing goes to the customer unless you send it.

03 · Questions

Asked by roofers.

Can I quote scaffold separately?

Yes. Grouped line items give each part of the job its own heading and subtotal, so access, materials and labour read as three numbers.

Can I write an invoice with no phone signal?

Yes. Everything is on the phone: the document, the PDF and the arithmetic. Nothing waits on a server.

Does it chase customers for me?

No, and it does not pretend to. It tells you once a day what is overdue, at an hour you choose. Anything that goes to a customer, you send.
