A lightweight SaaS that automates the entire overdue invoice recovery process for small creative and marketing agencies. It connects to accounting platforms, detects late payments, and executes a personalized, multi-channel communication sequence (email, SMS, Slack) with escalating urgency to collect payment, drastically reducing manual follow-up time.
目标用户
Small digital marketing or web design agencies (2-10 employees) that invoice US clients on Net-30/60 terms and currently use QuickBooks Online or Xero. They likely have a part-time bookkeeper, and the founder has recently posted about 'clients not paying' in communities like the Dribbble Freelance forum or /r/agency.
核心差异点
It's not just an invoice sender; it's a complete, hands-off recovery system focused on the small agency niche. It replaces the awkward, time-consuming manual process of chasing payments with a professional, automated sequence that scales with urgency, which generic invoicing tools don't offer.
解决方案
A web app built with Next.js, a Postgres DB, and the Resend API. Users connect their QuickBooks Online/Xero account via OAuth. The app scans for overdue invoices, then triggers a pre-configured, customizable sequence. Step 1: polite email reminder (auto-generated from invoice context). Step 2 (3 days later): SMS to client's billing contact. Step 3 (7 days later): more direct email copied to agency owner. The UI shows a simple dashboard of overdue invoices and recovery status.
