A $150k invoice to the biggest client went overdue for 3 months due to missing a required PO reference and no follow-up, leading to contract cancellation and $600k annual revenue loss.
Existing tools (QuickBooks) don't enforce automated follow-up or flag missing PO references; email alerts get buried and ignored until something breaks.

- Integration with QuickBooks, Xero, and major ERPs
Target Users: Owners and finance managers of small to mid-sized service businesses (e.g., consulting, IT, construction) with annual revenue $1M-$20M who use QuickBooks.
