Stop Chasing Money: What Late Invoicing Is Costing Your Business

The day the job is finished is the day the customer most wants to pay. Wait a week and you're now competing for attention with their other bills. Wait two and you're chasing.

The hidden cost today

• Office time typing up job sheets into invoices.
• Cash sat in unbilled work for a week before it leaves the office.
• Hours per week chasing 30, 60, 90-day debtors.
• Bank facility or overdraft costs to cover the gap.

What Tryoup changes

Engineers complete the job on the mobile app, the customer signs, and the invoice and payment link go out automatically — same day, often before the van has left the drive. Card, bank transfer or saved payment method, all reconciled back to the job.

A worked example

• £40,000/month billing.
• Days Sales Outstanding drops from 35 days to 12 days.
• Working capital freed: ~£30,000 permanently back in the bank.
• 2 hours/week of admin saved on chasing × £20/hr × 48 weeks = £1,920/year.

A simple formula

Cash freed ≈ monthly billing ÷ 30 × DSO reduction (days)
