Invoice Automation

One of the worst parts of generating reports or invoices out of a system is downloading them, saving them, and then emailing them. Wouldn’t it be great if they could be emailed right from the system to save time and energy? With Costpoint, instead of printing the PDF of the report or invoice, create a parameter for emailing right to the end user. It can send a Word doc, PDF, or Excel spreadsheet right from the solution.
