What it does

Keep billing and reporting in one connected system.

Streamline uses the customer, order, price, and delivery data already held in the ERP to prepare invoices, maintain account records, and feed operational reports. Finance does not have to rebuild the same transactions in separate spreadsheets before it can bill or investigate a number.

For order-driven producers, distributors, route-based suppliers, and growing B2B teams, the module brings invoice and credit workflows, customer billing cycles, receivables, collection rules, gross-profit views, and custom reporting into the same working system.

Overview: Streamline is one connected management software for invoices, statements, payment collection, reporting, and flexible data structure. It helps companies manage accounts receivable, automate customer billing workflows, create reports, and organize business data inside one ERP software platform.

Why it matters

Everything your company needs to bill smarter and report faster.

Each capability has a clear operational job: prepare the right invoice, protect published records, follow customer terms, surface exceptions, and turn shared business data into reports that finance and operations may use.

📝

Replace spreadsheet sprawl

One connected management software system beats juggling Excel files, PDFs, inboxes, and separate finance workflows.

Reporting & Forecasting

Reporting that answers real questions.

Streamline gives companies flexible reporting tools that go beyond basic exports. Build pivot tables, charts, and operational reports that help teams understand sales, demand patterns, customer behavior, and performance trends.

Customizable reporting

Build pivot tables, charts, and out-of-the-box reports that fit real workflows — with filters, grouping, shortcuts, and formats that make reporting software actually useful.

Flexible Data Structure

Organize your data your way.

Not every company thinks in the same columns. Streamline’s flexible data structure lets teams add attributes to customers, addresses, and catalogue records, then use those attributes to filter, group, and structure reports.

Add your own structure

Create unlimited attributes for your sales catalogue, customers, and customer addresses so your data matches real workflows.

Edit at scale

Use batch edit in spreadsheet mode to copy, paste, and update whole lists quickly — no opening records one by one.

Report your way

Use attributes to group and filter data for departments, customer types, packing logic, and performance views inside reporting software and business intelligence software workflows.

Flexible data support: Streamline helps companies manage attributes, batch edits, customer classifications, and report-ready data inside one connected management software platform — so the system fits your company, not the other way around.

FAQ

Finance & reporting questions, answered.

How do orders become invoices in Streamline?

At the configured snapshot, current order quantities and valid customer prices populate an unprocessed invoice. The team may review or amend that record before publishing it to the customer’s invoice library and, when configured, exporting it to accounting software.

How are invoice corrections handled after publishing?

Published invoices are locked because the customer may already have downloaded or posted the document. Corrections are recorded with a credit or a new invoice instead of changing the original record.

Which payment collection methods does Streamline support?

Streamline supports Stripe collection when enabled, payment imports from supported accounting connections, and configured webhook or CSV workflows. Provider availability, customer setup, regional support, and fees should be confirmed during implementation.

What reporting does Streamline include?

Teams may build pivot tables, charts, and custom operational reports; save report sets to Shortcuts; schedule report emails; and review year-on-year changes, 80/20 performance, gross profit, and order deviations.

How do custom attributes improve reporting?

Attributes add business-specific fields to catalogue items, customers, and addresses. Their values may then be used to group and filter reports by department, customer type, location type, packing logic, or another configured classification.
