Outstanding Invoices Are a Risk

Outstanding invoices are part of everyday business operations—and at the same time a serious risk. Every day of late payment reduces liquidity and consumes valuable time. Yet many companies still react too slowly. With KLEVERBILL, however, there is a straightforward solution to recover outstanding invoices quickly and professionally while minimizing bad-debt losses.


Outstanding Invoice: Take Action Immediately!

As soon as the payment term has expired, your company should take action. The faster you respond, the higher the likelihood of recovering the receivable without significant effort. 


Typical measures include:

  • Review incoming payments and reconcile them to the invoice

  • Send a polite payment reminder

  • Escalate to a formal dunning notice with a new deadline

  • Engage a debt collection agency or initiate judicial dunning proceedings in case of continued delay


KLEVERBILL automates these steps for you—from reminder to escalation.


Why Fast Action Matters

✅ Protect liquidity: The longer you wait, the greater the risk that the debtor becomes insolvent.

✅ Preserve customer relationships: Early, professional communication is less confrontational and helps maintain the relationship.

✅ Reduce costs: Every additional dunning step creates costs—fast action avoids follow-up expenses.


KLEVERBILL: Automated Dunning Management for Outstanding Invoices

With KLEVERBILL, you no longer need to worry about outstanding invoices. 


The system handles every step for you:

Tips for Your Receivables Management

💡 Issue invoices immediately: Do not delay issuing sales invoices.

💡 Set short payment terms: 14–30 days is standard; longer terms increase risk.

💡 Offer early payment discounts: Create an incentive for faster payment.

💡 Do not postpone the dunning process: Start with a reminder no later than 7 days after the due date.

💡 Remain professional: Communicate clearly, courteously, and firmly.
