01

The problem

The client lives in one tool. The quote in another. Project costs arrive as receipts, and payments are tracked separately. Connecting these records lets a team follow what was agreed, what was billed, what was paid and what the work cost.

What we built

Nomad quote builder, quote-to-invoice conversion and client quote review, shown in English with demonstration data.
The billing workflow: build a quote, let the client respond, and carry the agreed details into an invoice. Product illustration shown in English.

01

Client management

Save contacts, legal business names, billing addresses, tax IDs, preferred currencies and payment terms. Reuse those details in quotes and invoices, with projects linked to the right client.

02

Quotes and invoice generation

Create branded documents with saved products and services, sections, taxes, discounts, deposits and terms. Clients can accept or request changes; accepted quotes carry into editable invoices.

03

Payment receipts and document history

Record full or partial payments against invoices, then generate and send payment receipts. Keep the quote, invoice and payment history connected without treating an issued invoice as money collected.

04

Projects, budgets and profitability

Set up client-linked projects with dates and budgets. On Business, compare accepted quotes, invoiced revenue, recorded payments and tracked costs to understand gross profit and margin.

05

Receipt capture and expense control

Capture on mobile, upload documents in bulk or forward selected emails. Review OCR results, categorize spend and route expenses through workspace roles and approvals.

06

Billable expenses and reporting

Bring eligible billable expenses into invoice drafts. Preserve tax and currency context, review reports, and export CSV or Excel records for the accountant. QuickBooks Online export is being prepared for release.

07

Travel requests with human support

Business subscribers can organize airfare requests and work with a real travel partner. Trip requests sit alongside the wider finance workflow.

08

A product that can adapt

Human support and a Custom plan give organizations a route to scoped bespoke features, integrations and workflows when their needs go beyond the standard product.

Nomad expenses ledger for a team workspace, with merchants, categories, dates, amounts in several currencies and statuses.
The team ledger: one view of spending by merchant, category and status, in the workspace’s reporting currency.
Five Nomad mobile screens: adding an expense, advanced filters, a monthly expense summary, sorting and grouping, and team reports.
On mobile: add an expense, filter, sort and group, and review team reports.

03

Implementation choices

Shared records, preserved document history

Saved client information reduces repeated entry. Quotes and invoices retain the billing details used when they were created, even if the client profile changes later.

Keep agreements, invoices and cash distinct

An accepted quote, an issued invoice and a recorded payment describe different events. The product keeps those states separate so project reporting can explain its numbers.

Human review where it matters

OCR supports data entry; people can inspect the source document and extracted details. Forwarded receipts do not require access to an entire mailbox.

Build it, run it, learn from it

Artek owns the product lifecycle: strategy, design, engineering and ongoing operations. Support and real workflow requests inform subsequent improvements.
