How to Use ConsultOps Effectively

Your End-to-End Workflow

Contract -> Approval -> Project -> Services -> Time Logs -> Invoice -> Payment

Simple Automated Client-Ready
1) Build the Contract
Use Contracts to define scope, pricing, and terms clearly.
  • Create a contract from Contracts.
  • Add service line items in pricing breakdown.
  • Send estimate to the client from the same contract record.
2) Let Approval Trigger Setup
Approval auto-links project and service assignments.
  • Client approves/signs from public review page.
  • ConsultOps creates/links project automatically.
  • Services in contract are attached to project for clean time logging.
3) Track Time Against Assigned Services
Only assigned project services are loggable to keep billing accurate.
  • Open Time Logs and log work by project/service.
  • Mark billable work as you go.
  • Use Project Control Center to monitor open logs quickly.
4) Generate Smart Invoices
One click combines uninvoiced time logs + contract lines (fixed/recurring).
  • Use Generate Invoice in Project Control Center.
  • Review line items in invoice details before sending.
  • Send invoice/reminders with existing professional email templates.
Best Practices
  1. Keep service names consistent in contracts.
  2. Log time daily to avoid billing gaps.
  3. Generate invoices per project cycle.
  4. Use reminders before due date.
  5. Check dashboard weekly for outstanding totals.
