Prompt Pay Discount (PPD) & Cash Flow: Creating Predictable Outcomes for Repair Shops

ADAS calibration does not have to disrupt workflow or cash flow.

For many shops, calibration work introduces uncertainty. Unclear documentation, delayed approvals, and reimbursement delays can turn a necessary service for customer safety into an operational headache. As insurer expectations around documentation and repair procedures continue to evolve, consistency and transparency matter more than ever.

With insurance-grade documentation, insurer-aligned invoices, and a payment model designed to support workflow and cash flow, ADAS calibrations can become a reliable and repeatable part of shop operations.

 

Prompt Pay Discount: Designed for efficient payment cycles

Sentric’s Prompt Pay Discount (PPD) is designed to encourage efficient payment cycles while simplifying the financial side of calibration services.

When invoices are paid within Net30 terms, shops qualify for the Prompt Pay Discount. This model rewards timely payment while helping shops maintain predictable billing and payment timelines.

But payment efficiency only works when reimbursement works.

That’s why every Sentric calibration includes detailed service documentation supported by OE repair procedures. Clear documentation that aligns with insurer expectations can help reduce the likelihood of delays during the reimbursement process.

As documentation standards across the industry continue to tighten, having consistent, procedure-backed records helps shops stay ahead of insurer requirements.

 

Invoices built for transparency

Clear documentation and transparent billing are essential for keeping calibration services running smoothly.

For every service, Sentric provides structured invoices designed to support both shop operations and insurer review.

The Retail Invoice
The Retail Invoice is tied directly to the Sentric quote and includes a detailed breakdown of the calibration services performed. Supporting documentation and service details are included to align with insurer expectations and streamline the reimbursement process.

The Customer Invoice
The Customer Invoice reflects the applicable payment terms and Prompt Pay Discount when invoices are paid within Net30 terms. This structure supports efficient payment processing while keeping billing documentation consistent and easy to understand.

Together, this documentation approach helps reduce administrative friction while maintaining transparency throughout the repair process.
