Invoices in one tool, payments in another, cash flow reconstructed at quarter-end — receivables stay invisible until they hurt.

Cash position visible daily; fewer late invoices; clean handoff to accounting — shaped for regional fiscal reality and bilingual documents.
Late payment is rarely a collections problem. It is an information problem: by the time somebody notices an invoice is overdue, the relationship has already absorbed the delay and the polite window for asking has closed. Every system we build on this side starts from the question of when you find out, not what you do afterwards.
The usual shape in a small or mid-sized company here is three tools that do not speak: invoices issued in one program, payments visible in the bank, and a spreadsheet where somebody reconciles the two once a month. The spreadsheet is the actual system of record, it lives on one person's machine, and it is the reason cash position is a quarterly discovery rather than a daily number.
What replaces it is not a bigger spreadsheet. An invoice needs a lifecycle — issued, seen, disputed, partially paid, settled — and that lifecycle has to be visible to both sides. When the supplier and the buyer look at the same document with the same timeline, most of what gets called a payment dispute turns out to be a document that never arrived or arrived to the wrong person.
Reminders are the cheapest mechanism in the whole system and the one most companies skip because sending them by hand is awkward. Automated, scheduled and polite, they move the median payment date without anyone having to make an uncomfortable phone call.
The handoff to accounting deserves more design than it usually gets. An accountant who has to retype what your system already knows is a monthly cost you pay forever, and every retyping is a place errors enter. Documents should leave the system in the form the accountant actually wants.
We have built this. Invoice Partner gives suppliers and buyers a shared workspace with one document lifecycle, a shared timeline, reminders and a relationship view.
A note on fiscalisation: it is a real constraint here, it differs by entity, and it has changed over time. We treat it as a requirement to confirm with your accountant at the start of a project rather than an assumption to build on — getting it wrong is expensive after launch, and cheap to settle before.
It is designed to, but we treat the specifics as something to confirm rather than assume. Fiscalisation in BiH differs by entity and has changed over time, so at the start of a project we settle exactly what applies to your business with your accountant, and build to that. Getting it wrong is expensive after launch and cheap to resolve before.
No. The shared workspace is reachable in a browser, and a buyer who never logs in still receives the document and the reminders by email. Adoption on the other side is the usual reason these systems fail, so nothing important depends on the buyer creating an account.
That is the normal case. Replacing an accounting system is rarely worth the disruption, so the goal is a clean export in the form your accountant already works with, and an import path for payments. The system earns its place by removing retyping between the two, not by replacing either.
