THE PROBLEM

The operational bottleneck.

Sending invoices manually is slow, and calling customers for unpaid bills is awkward. You end up carrying high accounts receivable and hurting your cash flow.

WHAT CHANGES

Material change in your daily operation.

BEFORE

Sending invoices manually is slow, and calling customers for unpaid bills is awkward. You end up carrying high accounts receivable and hurting your cash flow.

AFTER

Invoices go out immediately and are typically paid 8-10 days faster. Accounts receivable balances often drop by 30-40% without you making a single manual phone call.

TECHNICAL NOTES & FAQ

Questions about invoice & payments.

Can it handle custom invoice terms?+
