Getting Paid Without Chasing People

Unpaid invoices and failed card payments, chased automatically and politely until the money arrives.

FIG. 13 BEFORE Invoice ignored AFTER Chased until paid KABS AI LABS — SYSTEM DIAGRAM
What changes, in one picture.

“I hate chasing people for money I have already earned.”

Said by a business owner, more or less word for word

What it actually is

Overdue invoices get a polite reminder, then a firmer one, then a final one. Failed card payments get retried and the customer told before their service stops.

Nobody on your team has to have the awkward conversation, and nothing slips through because it was uncomfortable.

How it works

  1. It watches what is owed

    Connected to your invoicing or payment system.

  2. It escalates on a schedule

    Gentle, then direct, then final. Your wording, your timings.

  3. Genuine problems reach you

    Anyone who replies with a real issue goes to a human immediately.
