Challenges Faced by Professional Services Businesses

Unbilled time and forgotten expense reimbursements

Service businesses lose 10–15% of billable revenue to uninvoiced work and forgotten expenses. ASTech ERP lets you log billable hours and expenses against client engagements, ensuring nothing is left off the invoice.

GST on services: 18% with RCM complexity

Service businesses must handle GST under forward charge and occasionally reverse charge mechanism (RCM) for certain vendor payments. The system automatically determines the applicable GST treatment for each transaction.

Collecting payments from clients on retainer

Monthly retainer payments are often delayed because invoices are sent late or get lost in email. Automated invoice generation and WhatsApp reminders ensure clients receive invoices on time, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I bill for both fixed fees and variable expenses?+
You can create invoices with both fixed line items (service fee) and variable line items (travel, printing, courier). Expenses tagged to a client engagement are pulled automatically when you create the invoice.
Can I set up payment terms for different clients?+
Yes. You can define payment terms (immediate, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days) per client. Due dates are calculated automatically and the system sends reminders as per your configured sequence.
Does the system support proforma invoices?+
Yes. You can create proforma invoices for advance requests. Once payment is received, the proforma converts to a tax invoice with one click, maintaining a clean audit trail.
How does the system handle advance payments and adjustments?+
Advance payments are recorded as advances against the client. When the final invoice is created, the advance is adjusted automatically and the balance payable is shown on the invoice.
Can multiple team members create and manage invoices?+
Yes. You can add team members with different access levels — some can only view, others can create drafts, and admins can approve and send. This works well for agencies where account managers handle their own clients.
