Xero makes it easy to issue invoices and track payments. But when clients don’t pay on time, the real work begins: sending reminders, chasing emails, checking spreadsheets, and following up again. This manual collections process is not only time-consuming, it also slows down your cash flow.

Why manual collections in Xero don’t scale

• Time drain – finance teams and business owners spend hours every week chasing overdue invoices.
• Higher costs – as invoice volume grows, many companies end up hiring an extra person just for collections.
• Cash flow risk – every late payment means less money available for salaries, investments, or growth.
• No scalability – what works with 10 invoices breaks completely with 100+.

By connecting Sunbay to Xero, you can put your accounts receivable on autopilot:

• Automated reminders – emails and SMS messages sent automatically based on invoice status (e.g., 3 days overdue, 14 days overdue).
• Smart messaging – communication tailored to the stage of delay, keeping client relationships intact.
• Exception handling – you only step in when a client really doesn’t respond.

What results can you expect?
