Invoice Follow-up

Recover unpaid invoices without manual chasing.

Setup

from $599

Subscription

from $149/mo

Deploy time

3-5 days

Problem

Service businesses routinely carry 15–30% of monthly revenue in overdue invoices, mostly because follow-up is inconsistent. Owners don't chase invoices because it's uncomfortable; finance teams forget or de-prioritize it. A reminder sent 30 days late lands differently than one sent at day 7.

What it does

Connected to Stripe, QuickBooks, or Xero, the system monitors invoice due dates. At day 3 overdue, it sends a polite reminder. At day 10, a firmer follow-up with payment link. At day 21, it alerts the owner with the full account history for manual decision. At day 30+, it creates an escalation task and logs the case for review. All outreach is logged per invoice.

Best for

Agencies, B2B service providers, clinics, field services, freelancers

Setup scope

Accounting or billing system connection, staged reminder sequence design (day 3/10/21/30 logic), message templates (email + WhatsApp), owner escalation alert setup, activity logging, and QA with 5 test invoice scenarios.

Monthly support

Collection rate monitoring, reminder delivery health checks, escalation threshold tuning, and collections performance report (overdue volume, recovery rate).

Expected outcomes

Reduce average overdue invoice age by 40–60%
Make collections consistent without requiring owner bandwidth
Give finance a fully documented follow-up trail per account

Payback signal

4-8 saved operator hours

Typical break-even target for a first deployment conversation.

Implementation exampleB2B service provider or agency

Before

  • Invoices sit overdue 30+ days because follow-up depends on individual memory
  • Owners avoid chasing clients directly — uncomfortable, so nothing happens
  • Finance discovers overdue accounts only during month-end reconciliation
  • No documented trail of outreach attempts per invoice
  • Inconsistent timing and tone across any follow-up that does happen

After FlowOps

  • Polite day-3 reminder sent automatically with payment link attached
  • Firmer day-10 follow-up sent without any manual scheduling
  • Day-21 escalation alert sent to the owner with full account history
  • Day-30+ exception cases logged and queued for manual decision
  • Every touchpoint documented per invoice for finance review

Signal — Businesses running a staged invoice follow-up sequence typically reduce average overdue invoice age by 40–60% in the first 60 days.
