A business sold to a long-term customer for 8 months, then the customer stopped paying three invoices totaling $28k without warning.

Automated alerts on missed or late payments, sudden order spikes, or slower payment cycles
Integration with accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero) to track invoice status
Public record and news scanning for financial distress signals (liens, lawsuits, credit score drops)

Target Users: Small to mid-size B2B business owners and credit managers who sell on net terms and need to manage accounts receivable risk.

Revenue Model: $99/mo base subscription for up to 50 monitored customers, plus $1 per additional customer per month
