We're celebrating 2024 with increased efficiency and a significant enhancement to Truss invoicing: the ability to edit invoices directly!
You can now easily edit the data on any existing, unpaid invoice.
Gone are the days of canceling and creating a new invoice for every small change.
How It Works
This improvement saves you time and reduces the administrative time of invoice adjustments. Learn more here.

We're thrilled to announce a new feature on Truss: Custom Payments.
This method lets customers send custom payments directly through your Truss payment portal.
You don’t need to create a payment request in Truss to accept custom payments; simply share your payment portal link with your customers.
They can then easily enter any payment amount along with their email and name. They don't need to have a Truss account to send you a payment.
This new feature brings you greater flexibility and makes the payment collection smoother for both you and your clients. Learn more about how custom payments work here.

We're thrilled to share some important updates to Truss. Our team is committed to continuously improving your experience, and these latest enhancements are designed to streamline your financial operations even more effectively.
Here's a quick walk-through video of what's new – or keep reading below.
We've revamped the 'Contacts' section! Now, you can easily distinguish between customers and vendors:
This update requires no action from you. Contacts are automatically categorized based on your previous transactions.
Note: The same contact can appear in both tabs if applicable.
To ensure greater flexibility for your customers, you can now add both a primary and secondary email to each customer. This means that payment requests can be accepted and paid by either email recipient.
To enhance the convenience for your vendors, we've introduced a direct deposit feature. You can now effortlessly transfer funds to your vendors' bank accounts by entering their routing information. This streamlined process deposits the money directly into their accounts, eliminating the need for them to accept each payment.
You now have more control over how you pay your vendors by setting a default payment option. Choose between:
Visit any customer or vendor page to view all associated transactions, providing you with a clear and detailed financial history.
Adding a new vendor? If they're already part of the Truss network, you can quickly select them for instant payables, without having to add additional payment information.
We are excited for you to experience these updates and are confident they will make managing your business finances smoother and more efficient. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us. If you have any questions or need assistance, our support team is here to help.

Now, users with sales permission have access to the Mobile Check Deposit feature without accessing the bank account information. This powerful addition allows your sales staff to deposit checks wherever they are, whether they're on-site with clients or back at the office.

To enhance your expense organization, we have introduced expense tagging. Now, you can add tags to each expense to categorize them, making it easy to sort and track expenses, for example by project.
Note: All users can create tags and update tags on purchases. Only admins and bookkeepers have the authority to delete or update tags in the Settings section.
Admins and bookkeepers can now send email reminders to users who have transactions with missing receipts. No more hunting down missing documentation; simply send a gentle nudge to your team members.
With our new streamlined card issuing feature, you can now seamlessly invite staff and issue cards to them in a single step.
You now have the ability to export specific subsets of your Cash Account transactions. Simply apply your desired filters to display only the transactions you need, and then export them as a CSV file.

Hi there,
We've got some great news to share that will make your payment experience even better. At Truss, we're all about simplifying things for you, and we're thrilled to introduce two awesome updates:
If you or your contacts prefer not to login to your online banking to make a payment, you can now manually enter routing information within our system to connect a bank account effortlessly. Manually connecting a bank account via routing numbers allows to make a payment without logging into a bank connection service.
Learn more about how Manual Entry works here.
Waiting for a client to pay an invoice? You can now send friendly reminders to your customers directly through our platform.
More details on how to send payment reminders here.
We always appreciate your feedback, and it's been instrumental in shaping these updates. If you need any help or have questions, don't hesitate to drop us an email or schedule a call with our team.

Hi there,
Transparency in cash flow is vital for every construction business. At Truss, we understand this need and continuously strive to enhance your payment experience. That's why we're excited to introduce our latest feature:
Track the progress of your payments in real-time and view estimated deposit dates.
Whether it's payables or receivables, you now have complete visibility into the progress of your payments, from payment initiation to funds settlement. We've also included an estimated deposit date, enabling you to plan your finances more effectively.
Note: When a Receivable has the status 'Available' (like in the image above) the funds can be spent right away on a Payable transaction or on your Truss cards.
To check the progress of your transaction, go to the Receivables or Payables table in your dashboard and click on any transaction. A sidebar will open up that shows the payment status in real-time.
As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to send us a message or schedule a call. Thank you for your continued support!
