Wholesale invoices for ecommerce brands

Know which buyers are paying late. Before you ship more.

With Futureproof, your brand's wholesale invoices are drafted on the terms you agreed, for you to send, and you see who owes what and how late, the day a buyer pays.

Open wholesale invoices, with one buyer's payment applied to the invoice it pays.
Waiting on buyers

A brand waits on its buyers to pay

When an outside bookkeeper keeps your QuickBooks, payments are applied in a monthly pass, and calling a late buyer is left to whoever remembers.

Terms that stretch

You gave a regional chain longer terms to win the account. It pays weeks past the due date, and no one followed up the day it went late, because collections are nobody's job.

Here

Every open invoice shows how far past due it is, and reminders go to the buyer's billing inbox on the schedule you set.

Paid, but still open

A buyer pays on time, and the invoice stays open until the bookkeeper's monthly pass. Until then the aging says they still owe you, and you plan from that number.

Here

A payment that names its invoice is applied when you approve it, and the aging is right that day.

The bank for your buyers

The PO deposit is due, and the cash it needs is sitting in your buyers' accounts. The receivables balance has grown faster than the business.

Here

The aging shows who owes what and how late, and the cash forecast counts each invoice in the week it is expected.

A brand's wholesale order

Your brand's wholesale invoice, from draft to paid.

The invoice, the follow-up and the payment sit in your brand's books, so the aging does not wait for a month-end pass.

The invoice is drafted

Remi drafts the wholesale invoice on the terms you agreed, ready for you to review.

You send it

You send the draft you approved to the buyer's billing inbox, with the invoice attached.

It goes past due

Reminders reach the same billing inbox on the schedule you set, and they stop once the invoice is paid.

The buyer pays

The buyer's payment is applied to the invoice when you approve it, and the aging updates.

One invoice, from draft to paid.
CEO, COO or fractional CFO

You confirm what each buyer paid, and approve the month.

Futureproof lines each buyer payment up with the invoice it pays and prepares the month's books, and you confirm both.

  • Each buyer payment is applied to its invoice when you approve it.
  • Every wholesale invoice goes out from you, on the terms you agreed.
  • Each month, Remi checks the open invoices against the receivables in your books and lists any difference for you.
  • A write-off, or setting money aside for a buyer that may not pay, waits for your approval.

Wholesale questions

What CEOs and fractional CFOs ask about wholesale

Each buyer payment is applied to its invoice when you approve it, and the aging reflects it that day instead of after the bookkeeper's pass. Your wholesale invoices are drafted for you to send, and reminders go out on the schedule you set.

A buyer's payment that names its invoice is applied to it when you approve it, and the aging updates that day. Reminders on that invoice stop when it is paid in full.

Yes. Each wholesale invoice is drafted on the terms you agreed with the buyer, for you to review, and you send it to the buyer's billing inbox with the invoice attached. Reminders reach the same inbox on the schedule you set and stop once the invoice is paid.

Yes. The aging shows each open wholesale invoice by buyer and how far past due it is, and its total is checked against your balance sheet, with any difference shown. Before you offer the next account the same terms, you can see which buyers are late today.

Each month the open invoices are checked against the receivables balance in your books, and any difference is listed for you to review. A correcting entry waits for your approval before it reaches the books.

When you decide an invoice will not be paid, the write-off is drafted for you to approve. Until then the invoice stays on the buyer's account in your aging, and once you approve the write-off it comes off what the buyer owes.
