If you’re using KashFlow for your accounting and invoicing then you’ll be used to your accounts being highly automated so that you can get on with running your business.
We’ve just released a new feature that automates the whole process of Credit Control.
You can automatically email your customers to remind them that an invoice is about to become due. And if they don’t pay on time then more emails can be automatically sent to harass remind them about it until they do pay.
As you’d expect, the feature is highly configurable: Create as many emails as you like, saying whatever you like, going on whatever day you like at a time you choose. Have the emails BCCd to yourself and a note automatically added to the invoice.
Oh, and of course you can include a link in the email for the customer to click and pay you straight away. Once they pay then the invoice then your accounts are automatically updated to reflect the payment.
Enable the feature in Settings -> Automatic Credit Control and watch your cashflow improve significantly.
All you need to worry about is what you’re going to do with the time this frees up.
If you’ve not yet discovered how much better life is when you stop struggling with bloated confusing accounting software then take a free trial of KashFlow now. No card details needed – if you don’t like it you just walk away.

You know how sometimes a song pops into your head and you can’t get it out until you play it? That happened to me this morning only it wasn’t a song, it was a document… When I first got into computers and the Internet in the early-mid 90′s there was already a strong sub-culture. There was [...]

KashFlow has been going a good few years now and there are over 20 of us here. But we’re still very much a start-up in terms of our culture, the way we work, and the things we’re working on. Working in a start-up is nothing like working in a “big” business. Some people simply aren’t [...]

For a while I’ve wanted to get a bunch of KashFlow customers together for an informal meet-up. That thought collided with another: Smaller business with just one or two staff don’t have much of a Christmas party. They’re no fun when there’s no one to pull a cracker with. So we’ve teamed up with our [...]
