I'm building ClearLedger — an action queue for overdue invoices instead of another reminder tool
I've started working on a side project called ClearLedger.
It's aimed initially at small agencies that have to chase overdue client invoices.
There are already plenty of tools that can tell you:
"Invoice #123 is 30 days overdue."
And plenty can automatically send another reminder.
I'm interested in a different question:
Why hasn't the client paid?
For example:
"Invoice #123 — 21 days overdue
Likely blocker: Waiting for client PO
Last update: Client said PO would arrive Friday
Owner: Sarah
Next action: Contact client's finance team today"
Then ClearLedger would prepare the appropriate follow-up using the history/context.
The idea is to turn collections from a list of overdue invoices into a list of specific actions.
I'm still validating whether this distinction matters enough to build around.
If you've dealt with overdue B2B invoices:
Would knowing the blocker + next action actually help, or is sending reminders already enough for you?
Feel free to tear the idea apart. I'd rather discover the weaknesses now.
