AI invoice collection for construction businesses
Construction invoices routinely age 60–90 days before payment, straining cash flow on every project. Syntharra automates compliant voice follow-up and charges 10% of what is recovered.
Construction businesses face uniquely long payment cycles: general contractors wait on owners, subcontractors wait on general contractors, and everyone's cash flow suffers while materials and labor costs are already paid. Manual invoice follow-up requires time that project managers and owners do not have, and phone calls to large clients can feel risky to the ongoing relationship. Syntharra connects to QuickBooks Online or Xero and places a compliant voice follow-up call on day 3 past due — before the invoice ages into a serious problem. The AI agent references the invoice number and amount, offers a Stripe payment link, and escalates disputes immediately. You see every outcome on your dashboard.
How it works for construction businesses
Early follow-up before invoices age
Construction payment cycles are long by default. Syntharra's day-3 follow-up starts the clock on the client's approval process earlier, compressing the overall payment cycle.
No relationship risk from chasing
A TCPA-compliant AI agent makes the call — keeping the collection conversation at arm's length from your project team and preserving the relationship for future work.
Works with QuickBooks Online and Xero
Most construction businesses use QuickBooks for job costing and invoicing. Syntharra connects via OAuth and monitors your aging report automatically.
Success-fee pricing
10% of recovered invoice amounts only. No monthly subscription, no per-call charge. No recovery, no fee.
Frequently asked questions
How does Syntharra work for construction invoice collection?
Syntharra connects to QuickBooks Online or Xero via OAuth, monitors your project invoices, and places a TCPA-compliant AI voice call on day 3 past due. The agent references the invoice number and amount, offers a payment link via SMS, and logs the outcome.
Can Syntharra help with subcontractor payment collection?
Syntharra follows up on any invoice in your accounting software — whether you are the general contractor chasing an owner or a sub chasing a GC. The invoice type does not matter; the follow-up process is the same.
Do construction clients respond to AI voice follow-up?
Yes. A professional, clear follow-up call on day 3 — before the invoice has aged and before any tension builds — has a significantly higher response rate than an email reminder sent on day 30.
How does Syntharra handle construction invoice disputes?
If the client raises a dispute during the call, the AI agent logs it immediately and escalates to your dashboard. The agent does not attempt to resolve contract or scope disputes — those go to your project team right away.
Can I also file a mechanic's lien if Syntharra's follow-up fails?
Syntharra handles the phone-call follow-up layer. If an invoice reaches 30+ days without payment after multiple Syntharra attempts, you can pursue a mechanic's lien in parallel. Syntharra does not file liens — it provides the first-party follow-up that often makes liens unnecessary.
