Automated Invoice Chaser SOP: Polite WhatsApp Follow-Ups to Collect Overdue Receivables

Tracks unpaid invoices and delivers friendly, automated WhatsApp reminders with 1-click payment links 3 days before due date, on due date, and during overdue stages.

Operational Bottleneck

Work is done, deliverables delivered, yet payments linger indefinitely. Finance staff and sales reps feel deeply awkward repeatedly pinging clients for money. Clients forget or delay approvals. Meanwhile, your company's cash flow chokes, creating unnecessary payroll and supplier payment anxiety.

Monthly drain:RM 8,000 - RM 25,000
Automation Outcome

The typical SME carries RM20,000 to RM80,000 in receivables past 30 days, forcing business owners to inject emergency working capital to sustain operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this synchronize with accounting software like Xero or QuickBooks?

Yes. The BizDeck engine polls your invoice database and triggers sequences based on real-time unpaid invoice records.

Does the follow-up sequence stop automatically once paid?

Yes, immediately. Once the payment webhook fires, the invoice is marked 'Paid' and all remaining reminder triggers are halted.
