Invoicing & payments
Invoicing software built for NZ mechanics
Every line on your invoice already exists on the job card - the parts, the hours, the sublet work. Hoist turns the finished job into a GST invoice in one click, takes card payment on the spot, and syncs the lot to Xero. The paperwork happens once, at the moment the work finishes.
Where workshop invoicing goes wrong
The same job, typed twice
Retyping the job card into an invoice template is the classic evening job - and every re-typed line is a chance to drop a part, miss the sundries, or transpose a digit.
GST maths done by hand
Mixing up GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive is the most common way workshop invoices end up a few dollars wrong - and fleet accountants bounce invoices that don’t add up.
Slow invoices, slow cash
An invoice sent three days after pickup is an invoice paid late. The longer the gap between the work and the bill, the longer your money sits in someone else’s account.
How invoicing works in Hoist
One click from job card to invoice
Parts, labour and sublet lines carry straight from the job card onto a professional GST invoice. Nothing is re-typed, so nothing is missed.
GST at 15%, correct by default
NZ GST is the default, not a configuration option. Subtotal, GST and total are calculated for you and match what lands in Xero.
Take payment on the spot
Accept card payments in-shop at pickup - the fastest invoice to get paid is the one settled while the customer is standing at the counter.
Straight into Xero
The invoice syncs to Xero automatically and payments reconcile back. Your books stay current without a single export.
