Short answer

How can I see my pending estimates and pro-forma invoices?

Your AI pulls all outstanding estimates and pro-forma invoices directly from InvoiceXpress to calculate your pending revenue. You'll get a breakdown of what's waiting for approval and what's ready to be billed. This helps you spot bottlenecks in your sales cycle.

Revenue visibility outcomes

Where your data lands.

Once connected, your AI organizes your InvoiceXpress data into these specific views.

PIPELINE

Total pending revenue

The AI sums up every open estimate to show you the total dollar amount currently sitting in your sales pipeline.

FOLLOW-UP

Overdue quotes

Your agent identifies which estimates have been sitting for too long without a response so you know who to call.

FORECAST

Expected cash flow

By looking at pro-forma invoices, your AI estimates how much money will hit your bank account in the coming weeks.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI cannot edit the amounts or terms on an existing estimate. You'll need to log in to InvoiceXpress to change those details.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a revenue update.

The AI handles the data retrieval so you don't have to click through menus to find your numbers.

  1. Fetch estimates

    The AI scans your account to find every estimate that hasn't been converted to an invoice yet.

    list_estimates

  2. Identify pro-formas

    It pulls a list of pro-forma invoices to help you distinguish between quotes and confirmed orders.

    list_invoices

  3. Calculate totals

    The agent aggregates the values from the retrieved documents to give you a single revenue number.

    list_estimateslist_invoices

  4. Flag outliers
