Lainge / Workflow case study
A trades service handoff before invoicing
Lainge’s contractor guide outlines an illustrative path from an incoming service question through approved job notes to staff-reviewed customer follow-up. It does not document an invoice handoff, invoice creation or sending, or a deployed integration.
Baseline process
The Lainge contractor guide does not document a customer-specific baseline process or describe the existing invoice handoff.
Implemented workflow
Illustrative sequence in the Lainge contractor guide: Incoming request — capture the service question and context; Job context — bring forward the details staff needs; Documented outcome — record the approved notes and next step; Customer follow-up — give staff a clear point to review and respond. The guide does not specify invoice creation or sending. This is a scoping prompt for the current process, not a deployed integration.

Safeguards
The guide says the team chooses what to send. Any workflow changes should fit information the team approves and review points it chooses. Source: Lainge contractor guide, “Workflow Services for Trades Businesses” (/trades).
Human oversight
When mapping a repeated handoff, the guide says to choose who owns it and where staff reviews the information. It also says Lainge can assess the current process and tools before scope is set. Source: Lainge contractor guide, “Workflow Services for Trades Businesses” (/trades).
