Chasing alone doesn't recover cash
Some debtors genuinely can't pay the full amount right now. No amount of chasing changes that. The invoice sits unpaid, cash doesn't come in, and eventually it becomes bad debt.
Payment plans give these debtors a structured way out — and give you guaranteed cashflow instead of an unpaid invoice.

Part of the Recovery Engine
Payment plans aren't standalone billing — they're a core recovery mechanism triggered at the right moment in the recovery process.
Analyse
Risk identifies candidates
High-risk debtors who can't pay in full are flagged as payment plan candidates.
Chase
Reminders first
Plans are offered after reminders fail — not instead of chasing.
Recover
Plans convert debt to cash
Payment plans turn stuck invoices into predictable instalments.
Escalate
Alternative to legal
Offering a plan before escalation gives debtors a final chance to pay.
Automated or manual — your choice
Plans can be offered automatically by your AI controller during the recovery sequence, or created manually from any debtor profile. Override, pause, or adjust at any time.
Workspace-level preferences control which templates are available in the portal. Global exclusion lists let you hide plans for specific debtors.
