Credit control (payment follow-up)

Polite, persistent, on schedule.

Suits businesses with overdue invoices to chase, from property and facilities to clinics, and subscription businesses with failed payments.

What we take on

  • Calling and emailing customers with overdue invoices, on a set schedule, using scripts you approve.
  • Sending statements.
  • Logging every contact.
  • Preparing debtor updates for you.
  • Failed-payment follow-up for subscription businesses.

Who does what

Bots do the repetitive work. A person checks, decides and says yes, and nothing goes out without it.
Human

Calls, sends statements, escalates.

Bot

Tracks due dates, drafts reminders and logs every contact.

Never alone: Change credit terms or restrict access (you decide). No card numbers or bank access, ever.

Who says yes: You, on credit terms, account holds and anything off script.

A task, from start to finish

  1. 08:30Bot

    The bot checks due dates, lists the invoices that are now overdue and drafts a reminder for each, using your approved script.

  2. 09:15Human

    Our person checks the list and the drafts against your schedule and your approved scripts.

  3. 10:00Human

    Our person sends the reminders and calls the customers, politely.

  4. 10:05Bot

    The bot logs every contact.

  5. 14:00You

    A customer asks for more time or different terms. That is off script, so it comes to you for your yes.

Questions people ask

What does payment follow-up involve?

Calling and emailing customers with overdue invoices on a set schedule, using approved scripts, then sending statements and logging every contact. We remind, record and escalate.

Can you take card payments or reach our bank account?

No, never. We never handle card numbers or bank access. We remind, record and escalate, and you decide on credit and access restrictions.

Who decides when to stop a customer’s account?

You do. Credit terms, account holds and anything off script always come to you.

What do you say to my customers?

We use scripts you approve, in your name and your tone. Anything off script comes to you.

How will I know who has been chased?

Every contact is logged, and we prepare debtor updates for you. You also get a weekly report every Friday.

Can you chase failed payments for a subscription business?

Yes. Failed-payment follow-up for subscription businesses is part of the service.
