For plumbers, HVAC, electricians & every trade that bills after the work
Stop writing polite reminder texts at 9 p.m.
You did the job. The invoice went out. Now it just… sits there. Invoice Hound chases what you're owed the way your own front desk would, friendly, persistent, in your voice, until the money lands.
Why speed is the whole product
An unpaid invoice is melting.
The standard commercial collectibility curve is brutal: the older an invoice gets, the less of it you'll ever see.
Every week an invoice sits unworked, a slice of it quietly becomes unrecoverable. The Hound works every open invoice, every day, so none of them melt.
The signature move
When “I'll pay Friday” actually means Friday.
Most tools blast reminders on a timer, even at people who just promised to pay. The Hound listens. A customer names a date, the Hound captures it, you confirm with one tap, and every other reminder goes quiet. A friendly nudge lands two days before the date. On the day, it checks whether the promise was kept.
Nobody feels hounded while they're trying to keep their word.
How it works
A steady hand, not a heavy one.
Every open invoice gets a calm, patient rhythm, drafted fresh each morning, in your voice, gentle first and firmer with age. Nothing sends itself: every message waits for a human to approve it.
- Day 1
A friendly email. The job, the amount, the invoice, and an open door: “anything look off?”
- Day 3
A short text from your own local number. Two sentences, zero pressure.
- Day 5
A phone call. Yours today, and soon the Hound's, once voice clears review.
- Day 7
A statement. The account on one page, matter-of-fact.
- Later
Firmer, never nasty. Shorter sentences, clear next steps. No threats, no shame, ever.
Whose name is on it
It sounds like you.
Because it is you.
Every message goes out in your business's name, from your own local phone number, signed the way you sign. The Hound learns your voice from your own edits, and each customer gets the tone you choose for them: gentle for the loyal ones, firm for the ghost who owes you nine grand.
Our name never appears in front of your customer. This is your front desk, organized, not a collections agency wearing your logo.
The guardrails
Fifteen gates stand in front of every send.
You're not afraid of unpaid invoices. You're afraid of losing a customer over one. So the machine is built cautious:
At the start, nothing goes out without a human tap. Automation is earned with evidence, never assumed.
Payment recorded, by you or by QuickBooks, and every queued message dies instantly. Re-checked at the moment of every send.
One “stop” and that channel goes silent for good. No exceptions, no memory lapses.
Never a 6am text. The clock runs on the customer's timezone, not yours.
Per person, across all their invoices. Persistence isn't pestering.
“The invoice is wrong” halts all automation and flags you. Nothing argues with a customer.
Mark a customer off-limits and the Hound will never contact them, no matter what they owe.
“Lawyer,” “bankruptcy”, automation stops on the spot and a human is paged.
…and seven more, from double-send protection to quiet-day windows. Cautious is the feature.
What you see
“You have $12,000 overdue, but $8,500 is locked in promises due this week.”
That's the sentence your dashboard opens with. Not a wall of aging reports, the two numbers that actually tell you where your cash is: what's owed, and what's already on its way. No other tool can say it, because no other tool works the promises.
Your books
Plugs into the QuickBooks you already keep.
Connect once and your open invoices and customers flow in. When a payment is recorded in QuickBooks, the chase stops itself, automatically, before the next reminder is even drafted.
We never build our own ledger, and we never hold your data hostage. Disconnect any time and everything is exactly where you left it, in your books.
Pricing
Everything you just read. Flat. No cut of what's recovered.
$99/month
AND YOU KEEP 100% OF EVERY DOLLAR COLLECTED
A collection agency keeps 25-50% of what it brings back, up to $1,000 of a single $2,000 invoice, gone. The Hound is $99, flat. Recover one $1,200 invoice and the whole year is paid for.
We're onboarding a small group of pilot businesses now. If you're a home-service business with real invoices sitting unpaid, we'll set you up personally, connect QuickBooks (or hand us your list), see what's recoverable, and watch the first chase run with you approving every message.
