What is accounts receivable automation software?

Accounts receivable automation software connects to a company's accounting system and takes over the manual work of collecting payment on invoices. It tracks which invoices are due or overdue, sends payment reminders on a schedule across channels like email, SMS, and phone, escalates accounts that need human attention, and records payments as they arrive. The goal is to shorten days sales outstanding, cut manual collection work, and keep cash flowing without adding headcount.

A quick way to read the table. If you mainly need invoicing with light reminders, start at the top. If you want collections run for you without an implementation project, that is what Yonovo is built for, priced by company size with a custom quote after a short demo. If you are an enterprise on SAP or Oracle, start at the bottom. Weighing Yonovo against a specific tool?

The Yonovo difference

Most AR software tells you what needs doing. Yonovo does it.

The typical AR platform gives your team a better to do list: dashboards, reminders to send, workflows to configure and babysit. Yonovo takes the list and works it. The follow ups, the calls, the escalations. Your team steps in only where judgment is needed.

The work happens without you

When an invoice goes overdue, Yonovo drafts and sends the follow up, waits the right amount of time, then escalates to the next channel. Email first, then SMS, then a phone call. Every message sends as your business, under your name and brand. Customers never see a third party.

You are not left guessing about cost either. Pricing is a custom quote sized to your company, and every channel is included rather than metered per message.

Your rules, applied consistently

You decide how each customer segment gets treated: when reminders start, how quickly they escalate, which accounts need approval before anything sends. Yonovo then applies those rules on every invoice, every day. No more collections that depend on who remembered to follow up this week.

Humans handle the exceptions

A customer disputes an invoice, promises payment, or pays partially. Yonovo pauses the outreach on that account and hands it to your team with the full history. The routine ninety percent runs itself. The judgment calls stay yours.

How it works

From connected to collecting in six steps

1

Connect your accounting system

QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Stripe Billing, or BILL. The connection takes minutes, not a project plan.

2

Import your receivables

Yonovo pulls in your invoices, customers, and aging, then keeps payment status current so nothing is chased after it is paid.

3

Set your collection rules

Timing, tone, channels, and which accounts need manual approval before anything goes out. You stay in control of the playbook.

4

Follow ups go out on schedule

As invoices age, outreach escalates across email, SMS, phone, and WhatsApp. Every message sends under your name and brand.

5

Judgment calls come to you

Disputes, partial payments, and sensitive accounts get paused or escalated to your team with full context. No awkward surprises.

6

Track it all from one dashboard

Recovery, aging, DSO, and at risk invoices in one place, so you always know where your receivables stand.

Frequently asked questions

There is no single best tool, only the best fit for your size and accounting system. Small teams that mainly need invoicing do fine with FreshBooks or Bill.com. SMB and mid market teams that want collections handled for them choose Yonovo. Enterprises running SAP or Oracle shortlist HighRadius, Esker, or Sidetrade.
Yonovo, Chaser, Upflow, and Invoiced all connect to QuickBooks Online and Xero. Yonovo connects in under a day and checks your ledger before every reminder so paid invoices are never chased. Chaser is also popular in the Xero ecosystem, especially with UK teams.
Yonovo is among the fastest. Most teams connect their accounting system and are live within one day. Tools like Chaser and FreshBooks take days, mid market platforms like Upflow and Invoiced take 2 to 4 weeks, and enterprise suites like HighRadius take 3 to 6 months.
QuickBooks can send basic payment reminders by email. It does not escalate across channels, segment customers by risk or payment behavior, run approval workflows, or match payments automatically. AR automation software adds those layers on top of QuickBooks, so follow ups keep going until the invoice is paid.
Entry tools for small businesses run from about $19 to $80 per month. Mid market platforms typically land between $200 and $500 per month or price by custom quote. Enterprise suites are custom and can reach five figures per month. Yonovo prices by company size with a custom quote after a short demo, with every channel included.
It ranges from a day to several months depending on the platform. Yonovo is typically live within one day. Mid market tools usually take 2 to 4 weeks of configuration. Enterprise platforms like HighRadius or Esker involve implementation projects of 3 to 6 months.
It should. Yonovo integrates with QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Stripe Billing, and BILL. It syncs invoices, customers, and aging, and writes payment status back so your ledger stays the source of truth.
Use a simple test. If your team spends 5 or more hours a week chasing payments, or overdue invoices regularly slip past 60 days, automation pays for itself. Below that, the reminders built into your accounting tool may be enough for now.
