Problem
Canadian small businesses frequently struggle with late invoice payments, with 42% relying on credit cards to finance operations due to delayed customer payments. Manual follow-up on overdue invoices is time-consuming and inconsistent, forcing owners to juggle chasing payments alongside running their business, while net-30 terms often stretch to 75 days or more.
Solution
Harvest provides an AI-powered accounts receivable platform that automates the entire invoice follow-up process. The system connects to a business's existing QuickBooks or Xero account and email, then drafts and sends personalized follow-up communications, manages cadence, and sorts incoming customer responses. It only surfaces genuinely important issues to the business owner, reducing administrative work while improving collection rates. The platform also integrates with Helcim's payment processing, allowing customers to pay directly from invoice reminders without leaving their email, creating a seamless path from invoice to payment.
