Invoices that chase themselves
Invoices go out the day the job ends; polite reminders follow automatically until paid.
Stop doing invoices at midnight. Get paid days sooner.
The problem
Invoices get sent late or forgotten, and chasing payment is dreaded.
Pain point we researched: r/Plumbing: "the administrative side is killing me"
