Frequently asked questions
What makes AR automation different for engineering consultancies?
Engineering consultancies deal with milestone billing, retention clauses, and multi-department client approvals — all of which extend payment cycles. Equisettle handles this complexity automatically, tracking each invoice through client approval chains and triggering reminders at the right moments.
How quickly do engineering consultancies see results with Equisettle?
Most engineering consultancies see measurable DSO reduction within 45-60 days of going live. The automated reminder sequences start working immediately, and the predictive analytics identify at-risk invoices before they become overdue.
Does Equisettle integrate with project management tools used by engineering firms?
Equisettle integrates with the leading accounting platforms used by engineering consultancies — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and FreeAgent. Invoice data flows automatically so your AR process is always in sync with your billing.
How does Equisettle help with multi-phase project invoicing?
Equisettle tracks each project phase as a separate invoice, with individual due dates, reminder sequences, and escalation rules. This gives you full visibility across complex multi-phase engagements without manual tracking.
Can Equisettle help engineering consultancies reduce bad debt?
Yes. Equisettle's predictive analytics identify clients showing early signs of payment difficulty — allowing you to take action before invoices go seriously overdue. Early intervention significantly reduces bad debt write-offs.
