The problem

What this fixes.

Days sales outstanding keeps creeping up. Following up on unpaid invoices is awkward, repetitive, and the kind of work everyone avoids until cash flow tightens. The result: clients who would have paid promptly with a gentle nudge end up 60+ days late because nobody remembered to send the reminder. And the truly delinquent accounts don't get escalated because they're mixed in with everyone else.

What we build

How it works in your business.

We connect to your accounting system and run an aging schedule on autopilot. Invoices get gentle reminders at the right intervals (configurable per client tier), escalating in tone as they age. Payment plan offers fire at thresholds you set. When something exceeds the rules, it routes to a human with full context. You see a monthly AR health report; the agent does the busywork.

Outcomes

What you should expect.

01

Days sales outstanding drops 15–30%

Consistent, automated follow-up outperforms "I'll get to it" by a wide margin. Most clients see the biggest gains in the 30–60 day aging bucket.

02

Hours/week saved on dunning

Manual AR follow-up typically eats 5–10 hours/week at SMB scale. The agent handles 90%+ of it; humans only touch the escalations.

03

Cash flow becomes predictable

Forecasting based on actual historical payment patterns — not optimistic assumptions about when clients will pay.

Capabilities

What's in the template.

Every deployment ships with these. We configure them to your business — you don't rebuild them from scratch.

Accounting system integration

Real-time sync with QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, or Wave. Invoice status, customer history, payment terms — all pulled automatically.

Configurable reminder cadence

First nudge at +3 days. Polite check-in at +14. Firmer ask at +30. Escalation at +45. All adjustable per customer tier or payment terms.

Multi-channel follow-up

Email by default, with SMS for high-priority accounts. The system uses whichever channel got the previous response.

Payment plan offers

Configurable thresholds — e.g. "if balance > $5K and age > 45 days, offer a 3-month plan with X% fee." Removes the awkward "can we work something out" call.

Smart escalation rules

Defines when humans take over: tone-detection on customer replies, threshold breaches, repeated non-response. Comes with a queue you can work through in one sitting.

Cash flow forecasting

Predicts when invoices will actually be paid based on each customer's historical pattern, not the stated due date.

FAQ

Common questions.

Will customers feel like they're being dunned by a robot?

The tone matches what you'd write yourself — calibrated to your brand voice, with escalation patterns you control. Most customers won't realize anything changed except the consistency.

What if a customer disputes a charge?

The agent detects dispute language (refund, wrong amount, didn't receive) and routes the thread to a human immediately with full context. It never tries to argue.

Does it handle international currencies and tax rules?

Yes — it inherits whatever's in your accounting system. Multi-currency, VAT, GST, etc. are all handled at the accounting layer, not by us.
