What is NAPA?

NAPA is NACE’s billing automation. It takes contracts and timesheets (and expenses when needed) and creates invoices that are correct and fully traceable.

​
Why we use NAPA

In service industries (e.g. healthcare locums, legal, oil & gas), small billing mistakes can add up to 3–5% revenue leakage. NAPA:
  • Builds invoices from the actual contract and approved time/expenses
  • Applies billing rules so line items match the contract
  • Keeps a clear link from every line item back to the source (so we can show “this rate comes from contract X, section Y”)
  • Reduces manual errors and speeds up approval

​
What happens end to end

  1. Input — Contract + timesheet (+ expenses). Data can come from Barton timesheets (synced hourly), Navan (travel expenses), and Salesforce (contracts and rates).
  2. Processing — NAPA pulls the data together, applies billing rules, and checks that everything aligns with the contract. Some cases are auto-approved; others are sent for your review.
  3. Output — An invoice draft is created, then (after review if needed) approved and sent out—e.g. to NetSuite, the client portal, and by email.
