Daily overdue-bill alert for you

Customers get reminders. This is the other side: a daily list telling you what has gone past its date, before it becomes a quarter old.

Collection needs a trigger

Chasing money is nobody’s favourite task, so it happens when cash gets tight rather than when a bill falls due — by which time the amount is older, the customer’s memory is vaguer, and the conversation is harder.

A daily alert supplies the trigger. It is a small thing that changes the rhythm of collection from crisis-driven to routine, which is usually worth more than any single reminder sent to a customer.

Making collection routine

  1. 1Set credit terms

    Per party, so bills carry due dates.

  2. 2Get the daily list

    What has passed its date since yesterday.

  3. 3Make the calls

    While the amounts are recent.

  4. 4Record what comes in

    Settled bills leave the list.

Inside Financial Management

The money side of the business: what has been billed, what has been collected, what is still owed, and what the tax on all of it comes to. Party ledgers sit at the centre — every bill and every payment lands on somebody’s khata, and the balance there is the number you act on.

Most of this area runs on its own once bills are being raised: ledgers update as you bill, reminders go out on their due dates, and the GST reports are built from what is already recorded.

Questions people ask

Who gets this alert?

You do — it is the internal counterpart to the reminders that go to customers.

What decides that a bill is overdue?

Its due date, filled from the credit days on the party when the bill was raised.

Do paid bills stay on the list?

No. Recording the payment takes them off it.

Chase it while it is recent

Collection done to a rhythm is easier than collection done in a crisis.
