Overhead Door and Dock Equipment Service Invoicing App (2026)
Commercial door and dock work splits into two businesses on one truck: scheduled preventive maintenance contracts and emergency calls where a dock is down and a warehouse is stopped. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) bills recurring PM agreements on a schedule, invoices emergency calls with after-hours and truck-charge lines on site, and quotes the deficiency list from the PM visit as separate approved work.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, taken from each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the small commercial service company's workflow — recurring PM agreements, emergency call billing with after-hours rates, parts and deficiency quoting, and invoicing on site to a facility contact — not on multi-branch dispatch boards, warehouse parts inventory, or national-account portals.

Two businesses, one truck
Scheduled PM is your calendar; emergency calls are your margin. Both run through the same van, and the contractors who do well hold enough PM agreements that the emergency calls just come to them by default.

The lines a door and dock invoice needs
- PM agreement — per opening, per frequency
- Trip / truck charge
- Labor — standard, after-hours, weekend, holiday
- Parts — springs, cables, rollers, panels, bumpers, lip assemblies
- Dock leveler service — mechanical, hydraulic, air
- Door operator and safety device work
- Restraint, seal, and shelter repair
- Deficiency quote — separate, itemized by opening
- Emergency response premium
Identify the opening on every line
Write “dock door 7, north bay,” not “door repair.” Facility managers reconcile your invoice against their own equipment list, and a line they can’t place is a line that sits unapproved for a month.
The PM visit is your sales call
Every agreement visit turns up worn parts, failing springs, and safety deficiencies you’re already standing in front of. A quote written right there on site converts a lot better than one you email over on Thursday — and in this trade, the customer can usually see the problem for themselves anyway.
Frequently asked questions
How should PM agreements be priced?
Per opening, per visit frequency, with a stated scope of what's inspected and adjusted. Price the agreement to be worth holding, then quote every deficiency it finds separately — the PM is how you get called first when a door goes down.
What belongs on an emergency call invoice?
Trip or truck charge, labor at the applicable rate, after-hours or weekend premium, parts, and a note on what failed. A stopped dock costs the customer thousands an hour — the premium rate is never the part they argue about.
Should I quote deficiencies during the PM visit?
Always, in writing, before you leave. Worn cables, failing springs, and bent tracks are safety items — the written quote is both your repair revenue and your record that the condition was reported.
How do commercial customers want to be billed?
On net terms, with a PO or work-order reference, itemized against the specific door or dock position. Facility managers reconcile invoices against their own equipment list, so identify the opening every time.
