Late Payment Emails
Stop wasting your valuable field time playing phone tag and sending awkward, apologetic emails to get paid for the hard labor you've already delivered.
Collections Tip
Explicitly state in your fencing contract that ownership of all materials—including panels, posts, and gates—remains with the contractor until the final invoice is settled in full.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most effective way to handle a client who stops responding once the gate is hung?
Emotional fatigue is your biggest enemy. Implementing a digital Dunning engine allows 'automated robots' to handle the persistent follow-up, removing the awkwardness of manual chasing while ensuring the client receives consistent, escalating reminders until the debt is cleared.
When should I officially stop work or refuse warranty repairs on a late-paying account?
A stop-work order should be triggered automatically by your system at the 30-day mark. Using automated workflows ensures that the client is notified instantly that their service is suspended, which often prompts immediate payment without you needing to have a confrontational phone call.
Can I legally charge interest or late fees on fencing invoices that haven't been paid?
As long as your signed contract includes a late fee clause, you can and should. A digital payment system can automatically calculate and append these fees to the invoice as it ages, showing the client in real-time that their delay is costing them money, which incentivizes faster settlement.
