The problem

Invoices don't go unpaid out of malice. They go unpaid out of silence.

Following up is awkward, easy to postpone, and easy to do too gently. So small suppliers stay quiet — and quietly get paid last.

“The check is in the mail” is a cash-flow strategy — just not yours.

Large companies remind everyone, consistently, in escalating tones, without emotion. That consistency is exactly why they get paid first. Sekavo gives you the same discipline — written once, running forever, pausing the second a human replies.

How it works

Set the ladder once. It climbs for you.

Step 1

Add the invoice

Type it in, import a CSV, or push it through the API. Customer, amount, due date — that's the whole form.

Step 2

Sekavo builds the schedule

A courtesy note three days before due, a word on the day itself, then firm-but-professional follow-ups at +7, +14 and +21.

Step 3

You watch replies arrive

Any customer response pauses their sequence automatically and lands in your activity log. Mark paid — everything cancels instantly.

The emails

Written like an owner, escalated like a professional.

No robotic templates, no passive-aggressive ALL CAPS. Five tones that move from courtesy to final notice — each one editable down to the comma.

Following up on invoice INV-1042 ($3,850)
Hi Sarah, Invoice INV-1042 for $3,850.00 was due on Friday, June 14, and it looks like it hasn't come through yet. Could be an oversight, or it might be stuck in an approvals queue. If something's holding it up, let me know and I'll help sort it out. You can pay online in under a minute: https://buy.stripe.com/demo_1042 — Maya Acme Design Studio

Payment links do the heavy lifting

Every reminder carries your Stripe, PayPal or Wise link. Paying you becomes a thirty-second decision instead of an accounts-payable ticket.

Replies are read, not ignored

“Payment's coming Friday” pauses the ladder for your chosen grace period, then resumes only if needed. Nobody gets double-texted mid-conversation.

Late fees, stated calmly

Your late-payment sentence appears on overdue chases — citing terms reads like process, not anger.

Control

Automation with your hand on the brake.

Every email is previewed before it sends. Every sequence can be paused per invoice, edited per word, or stopped entirely. Your customers meet your judgment first — the software just never forgets to follow up.

Pricing

Priced by one number: invoices actively chased.

No seats, no revenue bands, no percentage of what you collect. If an invoice is paid, paused or closed, it stops counting.

Competitor prices from public pages, June 2026.

“Shave two weeks off $60k of annual billing and you hold ~$2,300 more cash all year.”

That working capital costs less than a dinner out per month here. The math isn't subtle — which is why the trial asks for no card.

Stop being your own collections department.

Fifteen minutes of setup. The awkward emails, handled forever.
