Cash and checks in BlazeRoutes, showing a drop-off to receive and what each technician is holding

From the customer's hand to the office

When a technician takes cash or a check, BlazeRoutes records who collected it. The office sees every technician holding money and how long they've had it — amber after a business day, red after three. After hours, technicians mark payments dropped off; in the morning the office receives them, checks off what's in the folder, and counts the cash. Anything that can't be found goes back to the technician, flagged. A cash shortage is noted on the hand-off and never touches a customer's balance.

Deposits with a slip and a paper trail

Pick the received payments going to the bank and start a deposit. Print the deposit slip with the cash total and each check, then mark it deposited with the date, the account, and the bank's reference. A deposited deposit locks; if the bank's figure doesn't match, reopen it and the audit log notes that you did.

Close every day knowing it was billed

Daily close lists what a day still needs: stops that weren't finished, completed stops with no invoice or payment, and declined cards. Fix each one, or explain it — a courtesy visit, or billed on another invoice. The day's totals show what was billed and collected, with the invoices and payments behind each number. Close the day with a note. A day with nothing open closes itself overnight, and if something changes after close, the day shows it until someone reviews it.

Cash, Checks & Daily Close questions

Which payments does it track?

Only cash and checks. Card payments reach your bank through your payment processor, and ACH and Venmo payments go straight to your account, so there's nothing to carry.

What if the cash count is short?

Record the difference with a note when you receive the hand-off. It's saved with the hand-off and carried into the deposit, so the deposit matches the cash you actually counted. The customer's balance doesn't change.

Can a technician receive their own payments?

No. Someone else in the office has to receive the payments a person collected.

Do I have to close every day by hand?

No. A day with nothing left to resolve closes on its own overnight. You only open the days that need something.
