Introducing Fast Cash: Get Paid Faster With AI-Powered Accounts Receivable

Getting paid should be simple. For most field service businesses, it is not.


Invoices go out on time, but payments do not always follow. Reminders are sent, then resent. Admin time adds up. Cash flow becomes harder to predict.


Fast Cash changes that.


Fast Cash is Simpro’s newest accounts receivable AI agent, built to help field service businesses get paid faster, more consistently, and with less manual effort.


Moving Beyond Static Payment Reminders


Most accounts receivable processes still rely on fixed schedules. A reminder goes out at 15 days, then 30, then 60. The same message, sent the same way, regardless of the customer.


That approach does not reflect how your customers actually pay.


Fast Cash replaces those rigid schedules with intelligent, personalized outreach. Using agentic AI, it analyzes payment history, customer relationships, and invoice context to determine the right time and method to follow up.


The result is communication that feels timely and relevant, increasing the likelihood of payment without creating unnecessary friction with customers.


Built for the Realities of Field Service


Many field service businesses operate on tight margins. Late payments or inconsistent collections can quickly impact day-to-day operations.


At the same time, traditional accounts receivable processes create additional overhead. Manual follow-ups take time. Escalations strain customer relationships. And the cost of processing invoices continues to rise.


Recent industry data shows:


69% of finance leaders report an increase in late payments over the past year


Manual invoice processing can cost between $12.88 and $19.83 per invoice


Fast Cash reduces that burden by automating one of the most time-consuming parts of the business.


How Fast Cash Works in Practice


Fast Cash acts as an intelligent layer between your business and your customers.


Instead of relying on predefined rules, it continuously evaluates when and how to engage based on real data, including how a customer has paid in the past, the context of the invoice, and the history of the relationship.


From there, it determines the optimal outreach strategy, helping you reach customers at the moment they are most likely to pay.


This approach improves both speed and consistency without requiring additional effort from your team.


What This Means for Your Field Service Business


The impact shows up quickly in day-to-day operations.


Payments come in faster because outreach is better timed. Admin teams spend less time chasing invoices. Customer interactions feel more professional and less transactional.


Over time, that leads to:

More predictable cash flow

Reduced operational friction

Stronger customer relationships


“While still early, what we’re seeing has the potential to significantly improve financial visibility, automate key processes and ultimately drive better outcomes for trade businesses,” said Luke McCallum, Managing Director at Level Group. “This is exactly the kind of innovation our industry needs. Practical, scalable and built to deliver real impact.”
