In short

How do I automatically chase overdue invoices for my excavation business?

WebRun opens Buildertrend every Monday, finds all overdue excavation invoices, and cross-checks each one against QuickBooks to confirm the payment is still outstanding. It then drafts a polite payment reminder for every confirmed overdue invoice and queues each draft for your review before any message reaches a client.

  • Overdue invoices get a follow-up draft within one business day of going past due
  • No client reminder is sent without your explicit approval
  • Cross-checking with QuickBooks eliminates false alerts from already-paid invoices

Built for excavation contractors · construction business owners · accounts receivable teams · small construction firms

Questions, answered

Will it send payment reminders to clients automatically?

No. Every reminder is drafted and held for your review before it is sent. Nothing goes to a client without your explicit approval.

What if a client already paid and it just has not cleared yet?

WebRun cross-checks each Buildertrend invoice against QuickBooks to confirm the payment status before drafting a reminder, reducing false alerts.

Can I set a minimum overdue amount before a reminder is drafted?

Yes. During setup you can define a threshold so reminders are only drafted for invoices above a certain dollar amount or a certain number of days past due.

Put this on autopilot.
