How This Automation Works
Invoice Due Date Passes → Professional Overdue Notice Sent
Monitor Invoice Due Dates
The system continuously scans all outstanding security service invoices, tracking due dates and payment status in real-time. When an invoice transitions from current to overdue status, the automation immediately triggers the collection sequence.
Generate Customized Notice
Upon detecting an overdue invoice, the system automatically pulls relevant invoice details including service description, original due date, amount owed, and client contact information. It then generates a professionally formatted notice using pre-approved templates customized for your security company's brand and tone.
Deliver via Preferred Channel
The overdue notice is automatically sent through the client's preferred communication method—email, SMS, portal notification, or printed mail. The system logs delivery confirmation and tracks whether the message was opened or viewed.
Schedule Follow-up Reminders
If payment is not received within the specified timeframe, the system automatically schedules and sends escalating follow-up notices. Each subsequent reminder can increase urgency while maintaining professionalism, with configurable intervals based on your collection policies.
Update Records and Alert Team
All communications are automatically logged in the client record with timestamps and delivery status. If payment remains outstanding after the full reminder sequence, the system alerts your collections team for personal intervention while providing complete communication history.
How It Works
Security companies face unique challenges in maintaining cash flow while managing ongoing client protection services. This automation eliminates manual invoice tracking and follow-up by automatically detecting overdue security service payments and sending professionally crafted reminder notices. The system monitors payment due dates, triggers immediate notifications when accounts become past due, and escalates communication as needed. Security firms can customize notice templates to maintain their professional brand while ensuring consistent collection efforts across all clients. By removing the administrative burden of tracking and following up on late payments, your team can focus on delivering exceptional security services while maintaining healthy cash flow. The automation maintains detailed records of all communications, helping you manage client relationships professionally while protecting your revenue stream.
The Trigger
The system continuously monitors all outstanding security service invoices and automatically detects when a payment due date has passed without receiving payment confirmation. This trigger activates immediately upon the transition from current to overdue status, ensuring timely client communication.
The Action
A customized, professional overdue payment notice is automatically generated and sent to the client via their preferred communication channel. The notice includes invoice details, outstanding amount, original due date, and clear payment instructions with updated deadlines, maintaining your professional relationship while prompting payment action.
