Solve a problem
All 12 use cases →
Get paid by a client who stopped answering
Reminders that escalate on their own, accounts payable in the loop, and a statement of account. Promised dates and the certified demand letter are in preview, not yet available.

Bill a construction job in stages
One contract, several applications: percent complete per line, retainage held and released, previous applications subtracted.

Turn a stack of paper invoices into records
Upload up to 25 documents at once, let the AI draft each invoice in the background, review the ones it could not read, and find the batch later.

Charge interest on late invoices
A rate and grace period you set once, and interest that accrues on the invoice itself. Flat late fees are in preview, not yet available.

Invoice from the job site
Say the invoice out loud on your phone, confirm the draft, send it before you leave the driveway.

Bill the same clients every month
Recurring invoices created and sent on a schedule. Charging a saved card automatically is paused; clients pay through the secure payment form.

Get paid early with a discount
Offer a small discount for paying within a few days; the invoice shows both amounts and the payment link honours the right one.

Invoice clients who pay by check
Mail the invoice by USPS, read the check and remittance when it arrives, and match it to the invoice. Recording a promised check is in preview, not yet available.

Sell to companies that require purchase orders
Carry the PO number, match the invoice to the PO before it goes out, send to accounts payable, and deliver by e-invoicing where they insist.

Hand your accountant a clean year end
Revenue, aging, tax and payment reports, expenses with receipts, and invoices and payments already in QuickBooks Online or Xero.

Know who owes you what
An aging view, days sales outstanding, a forecast and the escalation queue on one screen, plus a statement of account per client.

Let a client pay a large invoice in installments
Split one invoice into scheduled payments the client accepts on their phone, with card autopay only if they authorize it. No interest added.
