What the Collections Agent does.

Every feature is purpose-built for trade businesses. No generic chatbots — real workflows that save you time and money.

Auto-invoicing

The moment a job is marked complete, an invoice is generated from the quote, branded with your logo, and sent to the customer.

Smart reminders

Escalating sequence: friendly reminder at 3 days, firmer at 7 days, final notice at 14 days. Tone adjusts automatically.

Payment tracking

Real-time dashboard shows paid, pending, and overdue invoices. Know your cash position at a glance.

Multiple payment methods

Customers can pay via credit card, ACH, or check. Payment links work on any device — one tap to pay.

Overdue escalation

When gentle reminders don't work, the agent escalates with firmer messaging and alerts you for personal follow-up.

Revenue reporting

Track collections by month, customer, and aging bucket. Identify patterns and improve cash flow over time.

Real-world scenarios.

1

A panel upgrade job is marked complete at 3 PM. By 3:01 PM, the customer has a professional invoice in their email and SMS.

2

An invoice is 5 days overdue. The agent sends: 'Hi Lisa, just a friendly reminder about invoice #1007 for $890. Pay securely here →'

3

After 14 days, the agent alerts you: 'Invoice #1003 is 14 days overdue ($1,200). Customer hasn't opened the last 2 reminders. Recommend personal call.'
