The Challenge

Flood Rescue was struggling with lengthy payment delays, with some invoices remaining unpaid for over 100 days. These delays caused significant cash flow problems, making it difficult to cover daily expenses and invest in growth. The AR team’s manual process for tracking overdue invoices, using spreadsheets and emails, was inefficient and time-consuming. Without a centralized system for managing follow-ups, invoices were often overlooked, and payment timelines were extended unnecessarily.

We were spending too much time chasing overdue invoices, which took valuable time away from growing the business.
