Direct definition

Invoices and payments turn reviewed yard activity — dates, rate rules, and proof — into invoice-ready charges, such as five days beyond free time becoming five clear billable days, and track payment status before the work reaches accounting.

Not fit

  • Multi-currency international invoicing
  • Complex revenue-recognition requirements

FAQ

Does Yarduno replace QuickBooks or my accounting software?

No. Yarduno creates the operational and billing record — charges, proof, and payment status — before that activity goes to accounting. QuickBooks or another accounting system can remain the system of record for books.

How are billable days calculated?

Billable days come from the in/out dates on a ticket compared against the rate plan's free days, so five days beyond free time become five clear billable days.

Can I see the proof behind an invoice charge?

Yes. Each invoice charge can be traced back to the ticket and proof — photos, timestamps, notes — that generated it.

How do I know if an invoice has been paid?

Every invoice carries a payment status, so open, sent, and paid invoices are visible without checking a separate accounting login.
