Eliminate manual work and reduce late payments with Chaser and Sage 50

Chaser has launched a new integration with Sage 50, an established accounting software designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This new integration aims to help businesses using Sage 50 streamline their accounts receivable processes, reduce overdue invoices, and protect cash flow.

The importance of addressing late payments

Late payments are a persistent issue for many businesses. Statistics indicate that 49% of invoices issued by U.S. businesses become overdue (PYMNTS). Additionally, 10% of late invoices are ultimately written off as bad debts, creating a financial strain that affects investments, supplier payments, and payroll (Sage). With these challenges in mind, integrating Chaser with Sage 50 offers an automated solution to improve collections and cash flow.
