The problem

Cash surprises cost more than cash.

Most small businesses see cash only in the bank balance. By the time it's low, the options are gone.

Before

Looking backwards

Bank feeds show what already happened, not what's about to.

With Paylists

Your forecast is built from quotes, orders, invoices and bills that already carry dates and amounts.

Before

Customers who always pay late

The due date says one thing, the customer does another, and your forecast is wrong.

With Paylists

Set a forecast date for late payers so the timeline shows what really happens.

Before

Spreadsheets nobody updates

A cash flow spreadsheet is out of date the day after it's built.

With Paylists

The forecast updates itself as documents are created, and Lister warns you weeks ahead of a shortfall.
