NEWARK, Del. - s4story -- Freelancers and small businesses lose an average of 20 hours per month chasing late payments. For UK tradespeople, the average amount owed in overdue invoices exceeds £2,000 per person, with 68% regularly chasing clients for payment.

Doggos (doggos4slack.co.uk), the Slack-native financial toolkit, today launches an AI-powered invoicing and automated chase system that eliminates the admin of getting paid.

How It Works
The entire workflow lives inside Slack. No switching apps, no templates to fill in, no awkward follow-up emails.
Step 1: Describe the job — Type /invoice create Website redesign for Acme Ltd, 3 pages, £1,200, due 7 days
Step 2: AI creates the invoice — Claude Haiku 4.5 parses the description, extracts line items, amounts, and payment terms. A branded PDF is generated with an embedded Stripe payment link.

Step 3: Automated chase — Doggos sends polite follow-up emails to the client at day 3, 7, 14, and 21 after the due date. The invoice creator gets Slack notifications at each stage.
Step 4: Escalation — At day 28, two buttons appear: Write Off or Send to Collections. One tap refers the invoice to the collections partner.

Founder-Friendly Payment Terms
While traditional invoicing tools default to NET 30 (payment due in 30 days), Doggos defaults to NET 7.

Debt Collection Partnership
Doggos has partnered with Advanced Collection, a UK debt recovery firm, to handle invoices that reach the day-28 escalation point. The partnership operates on a no win, no fee basis: if the money isn't recovered, there's no cost to the Doggos user.

Simple Pricing
Doggos charges a flat $0.99 per invoice created. No monthly subscription, no hidden fees, no percentage of the invoice amount. The client pays via a one-click Stripe payment link embedded in the invoice.
