Features

Everything included, nothing bolted on

Every module is built natively into EM8 Core — not third-party tools stitched together. One login, one platform, one place for your whole operation. Every plan includes every module.

Module / Billing & Invoicing

Invoices that raise themselves

Recurring contracts bill automatically every month or year. One-off jobs drop into the billing queue when approved. Customers pay instantly by card — and the built-in billing audit spots anything you're delivering but not charging for.

  • Recurring monthly or annual contract billing, fully automatic
  • Branded PDF invoices with automatic VAT calculation
  • Pay Now button on every invoice — instant card payment
  • Customer card on file for automatic recurring charges
  • Billing audit tool that flags unbilled services and missing revenue

Module / Customer Portal

Let customers help themselves

Every customer gets their own branded login. They book visits, check job history, download reports, pay invoices and raise support tickets — cutting the "can you email that over?" calls out of your day entirely.

  • Customers request visits that drop straight into your diary
  • Full history of every job, report and document — searchable
  • Online invoice payment with a saved card
  • Support tickets with live progress and email updates

Module / Staff & HR

People management that knows your diary

Holiday requests, staff records and payroll information — all in one place, with job-aware logic built in. The system checks the diary before leave is approved, so you never end up under-staffed by accident.

  • Holiday requests from the app or portal, approved in one click
  • Real-time leave balances all year round
  • Automatic conflict flags when jobs are booked on requested days
  • Staff records: certifications, emergency contacts, vehicle assignments
  • Payroll details stored securely, exportable for your accountant
