Invoice automation

Automated invoicing software that gets you paid.

Handl is automated invoicing software for digital agencies and freelancers. Invoices create themselves when work is approved, payment reminders send on schedule in your voice, and clients pay in one click from their own portal.

The problem

You didn’t start an agency to type invoices.

Manual invoicing fails quietly. The work gets done, then the invoice waits — for the end of the month, for someone to pull the hours together, for you to find an evening. Then the follow-up waits too, because chasing money is the job everyone avoids.

Every one of those waits is your cash flow stretching. Invoice automation closes the gap between “work finished” and “money in the bank” by taking the remembering out of it: the trigger is the work itself, not your calendar.

How it works

The invoice lifecycle, on autopilot

1

Work approved, invoice exists.

A client approves a quote — the invoice is created automatically. A milestone gets marked complete — the invoice for it is generated and sent. No blank invoice screen, ever.

2

The hours fill themselves in.

Tracked time syncs from Harvest, Toggl, Clockify or Hubstaff and becomes time & materials invoice lines. The invoice matches the work, not your memory of it.

3

Reminders chase so you don't.

Set the cadence once. Reminder emails send automatically before, on, and after the due date — in your agency's voice, visible in the project's Communications tab, opt-in per project.

4

Paying is one click.

Every invoice carries a pay-now link in the client's portal. Clients who opt in to auto-pay have their saved card charged when the invoice is due — no reminder needed at all.

The client side

Automation your clients actually like

Automated invoicing usually gets sold on what it saves you. The quiet win is what it does for your clients: a portal where they can see every invoice, what it’s for, and pay it in one click — instead of a PDF buried in an inbox and a “how do I pay this?” reply.

And because reminders are written in your voice and sent on a sensible schedule, the chasing stops feeling like chasing. It reads like a well-run agency, because it is one.

Ask, don’t dig

Billing questions, answered in English

Handl’s AI assistant sits on top of your real billing data. Ask “what’s overdue?” or “who owes me money?” and get the actual answer — then have it draft and send the invoice or the reminder, inside limits you control. It’s the difference between software that stores your invoices and software that runs your invoicing.

Common questions

What does automated invoicing software actually do?
It removes the manual steps between finishing work and getting paid. Handl creates invoices when work is approved, sends payment reminders on a schedule you set once, and gives clients a portal where every invoice has a pay-now link — so nothing depends on you remembering to type, send, or chase.
Does Handl really create invoices without me?
Yes. When a client approves a quote, the invoice is created automatically. When a project milestone is marked complete, the invoice for it is generated and sent. You define the triggers up front; after that the invoicing runs itself.
Do payment reminders send themselves?
Yes — set the cadence once and reminder emails go out automatically before, on, and after the due date, written in your agency's voice. Sequences are opt-in per project, every message is visible in the project's Communications tab, and clients can unsubscribe in one click.
Can clients be charged automatically?
Only if they choose to. A client can save a card and opt in to auto-pay — then invoices are charged automatically when due. No opt-in, no charge: they just get the reminder with a pay-now link instead.
Where do the invoice line items come from on hourly work?
From your time-tracking tools. Handl syncs tracked time from Harvest, Toggl, Clockify and Hubstaff, and turns it into time & materials invoice lines — so the invoice reflects the hours that were actually worked, not a reconstruction from memory.
What can the AI assistant do?
Ask it billing questions in plain English — "what's overdue?", "who owes me money?" — and it answers from your real data. It can also draft and send invoices and reminders for you, inside the limits you set.

Send your last manually-typed invoice.

Set the triggers once. Handl handles the invoicing, the reminders and the collecting — you handle the work.
