The gap

Freelancers and small business owners lack a structured system or tool to manage and automate the process of handling late-paying clients. They are currently relying on manual follow-ups and seeking advice on how to handle payment delays.

What people say

Rr/electriciansSep 27, 2026

“Not pitching anything, trying to understand this before I build something. 1. When a customer's late, what do you actually do — call, text, show up again? 2. Is it mostly "genuinely forgot" or actual disputes over the work/price? 3. Would it help if something automatically texted them on a schedule until they paid, or is that not really the bottleneck? Curious how bad this actually is day to day.”
