Sequence + Invoice Butler: Close the loop from billing to cash

The collections problem nobody talks about

You've automated billing. You've eliminated revenue leakage. Your invoices go out on time, every time. But then what?

Someone still needs to follow up when invoices aren't paid. Someone needs to answer customer questions about line items. Someone needs to upload documentation. Someone needs to track which invoices are at risk and escalate before they become write-offs.

That someone is usually your finance team, doing manual work that doesn't scale.

How Invoice Butler extends Sequence

Invoice Butler picks up where Sequence leaves off:

Collections run autonomously. When you finalize an invoice in Sequence, Invoice Butler starts working. Contextual follow-ups based on customer history. Responses to payment questions. Proactive outreach before invoices become overdue.

Portal coordination happens automatically. Invoice Butler handles supplier portal uploads—Coupa, Ariba, and others—without manual intervention. Invoices and supporting documentation get where they need to go, on time.

Customer communication stays professional and persistent. Invoice Butler manages the back-and-forth: answering questions, coordinating with AP teams, adjusting to customer payment patterns. It knows when to follow up and when to escalate.

Payment risk surfaces early. Invoice Butler monitors collection patterns and flags at-risk invoices before they become problems. Your team intervenes only when it matters.

Everything connects back to Sequence. Payment status, collection notes, customer interactions—it all flows back into Sequence so you maintain a single source of truth.

Already working for companies like Thoughtly

Thoughtly runs a lean finance operation. They use Sequence to handle complex billing—usage-based charges, custom contract terms, mid-cycle adjustments. They use Invoice Butler to make sure those invoices actually get paid.

The result: faster cash conversion without adding AR headcount. Their finance team focuses on strategic work instead of chasing payments.

Built for teams that want their billing automation to matter

Automating billing only matters if invoices convert to cash. This integration ensures they do—without manual effort, without portal logins, without finance team members playing email tag with AP departments.
