CollectSure: Gentle AR & Penalty Automation

CollectSure automates the awkward work of accounts receivable for small businesses and specialists. It sends friendly, escalating payment reminders with embedded pay links, auto-calculates late fees and complex penalties from your payment terms, and reconciles incoming payments against outstanding invoices—all while flagging contract billing errors. Turn your receivables process from manual, uncomfortable follow-up into a cash-flow engine that works 24/7.

Key Features
  • Gentle, multi-channel dunning sequences with customizable tone and embedded payment links to reduce emotional friction
  • Automated penalty/late-fee calculator that ingests custom payment terms (discounts, split payments, net terms) from uploaded spreadsheets or contracts
  • Smart reconciliation engine that matches partial, delayed, or bulk payments to open invoices and flags discrepancies
  • Billing error and contract compliance monitor that scans invoices against contract terms for proactive issue detection
Target Users: Small business owners, AR specialists, and bookkeepers in service-based or contract-heavy industries who struggle with manual follow-ups and complex customer terms.
Revenue Model: SaaS subscription with tiers based on invoice volume and advanced features; starts with a free trial for up to 10 active invoices.
