What is debt collection software?

Debt collection software automates the follow-up on overdue invoices: reminders, late fees, payment options and a record of every contact. For a small business it replaces the spreadsheet and the inbox with a process that runs on its own. Paidnice is first-party software.

Overdue reminders that stay polite and firm.

Email and SMS reminders go out on the schedule you set, from your own domain, in your words. The tone gets firmer as the invoice gets older. Business hours only.

Late fees that give customers a reason to pay.

Fixed fees, a percentage, or a per annum interest rate, applied on the day you choose. Exclude any customer or a whole group, and set a grace period before anything is charged.

Payment plans and escalation for the hard cases.

Offer a payment plan with automatic installment reminders. If the customer still does not pay, the account is escalated to a phone call, a credit hold or a formal letter, with the full contact history attached. Calls run from Paidnice, and each one is recorded and transcribed.

Debt collection software: common questions

What is debt collection software?

Debt collection software automates the follow-up on overdue invoices: reminders, late fees, payment options and a record of every contact. Paidnice is debt collection software for businesses on Xero and QuickBooks Online, built on full accounts receivable automation.

Is Paidnice a debt collection agency?

No. Paidnice is first-party debt collection software. It helps you collect your own overdue invoices directly from your customers. We are not a third-party collections agency, we do not buy debt, and we do not contact customers on our own behalf. Every message goes out from your business, in your tone, under your branding.

What is the difference between debt collection software and a debt collection agency?

A debt collection agency is a third-party service that collects on your behalf, usually for a percentage of what it recovers (20% to 50% is typical). Debt collection software lets you recover the debt yourself, automatically, for a flat monthly fee. You keep 100% of what you collect and you control the tone of every message.

What is the 7-7-7 rule for collections?

The 7-7-7 rule comes from Regulation F of the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It limits third-party debt collectors to 7 phone call attempts in a 7-day period for the same debt. It applies to collection agencies. It does not apply to a business that collects its own invoices from its own customers, which is first-party collection.

Is there automated debt collection software for small businesses?

Yes. Paidnice is built for small businesses. It runs on top of Xero or QuickBooks Online, sets up in under 15 minutes, and its plans are priced by invoice volume.

What KPIs should I track for debt collection?

Track Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), the Collection Effectiveness Index (CEI), Average Days Delinquent (ADD) and the AR turnover ratio. Together they show if your collection process improves cash flow.

Does it change anything in my Xero or QuickBooks?

Nothing changes unless a rule you set makes it happen. Paidnice connects through the official Xero and QuickBooks integrations, so we never see or store your accounting password. It works from the invoices already in your accounting system.

Can I control which customers get contacted?

Yes. Exclude any customer, or a whole group. Add grace periods, and set different rules for different groups, so the customers who pay on time are left alone. Start in approval mode, so nothing sends without your OK.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Your first 20 actions are free, with no credit card. Paid plans start at US$69 a month and follow your invoice volume, not your company revenue.
