FAQ

Does Yarduno replace my accounting software?

No. Yarduno organizes trailer parking activity into invoice-ready records; accounting software like QuickBooks can remain the system of record for bookkeeping.

How are free days handled?

Free days are attached to the customer's rate plan, so billable days only start counting once the grace period ends.

Can I bill some customers monthly and others per diem?

Yes. Each account carries its own rate plan, so monthly and per-diem billing can run side by side.

Can customers see their invoice and payment history?

Yes. Customer statements bring together open invoices, payments, and balances by account.
