Four ways to chase unpaid invoices.
Doing it yourself, Xero's own reminders, a credit-control tool, or Xevrion. What each one does, what it costs you in time and money, and when each is the right choice. Including when Xevrion is not.
For a few late invoices, an email from your own inbox works. Xero's reminders go out on a schedule. Nobody checks each one. A credit-control tool suits a team that chases many accounts a day. Xevrion drafts each reminder by your rules. It checks the balance again, then waits for your approval before anything is sent.

| Question | Doing it yourself | Xero's own reminders | A credit-control tool | Xevrion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | You check Xero and write each email. | Reminder emails Xero sends on a schedule you set. | Separate software built for chasing many accounts. | Reminders drafted by your rules, approved by a person. |
| Who writes each email | You. | Xero, from wording you edit. | The tool, from its templates. | Xevrion, from your wording and rules. |
| Checked by a person before it goes | Yes, you. | No, it sends on schedule. | Depends on the tool and its settings. | Yes, every reminder. |
| Balance checked just before sending | If you remember. | Sends only for invoices unpaid in Xero. | Depends on the tool. | Yes, read again just before each send. |
| When the customer replies | You read it and decide. | The reply comes to your inbox; you decide. | Depends on the tool. | Paid, dispute or a promised date pauses that invoice. |
| Late payment interest | You work it out. | You add it yourself. | Depends on the tool. | Optional on a final notice; you choose. |

Choosing
When each one is the right choice.
Doing it yourself
You have a handful of late invoices a month, and you know each customer well.
Xero's own reminders
You want simple reminders that go out on time, and you are happy for them to send without a check each time.
A credit-control tool
You have a person or team whose job is chasing many accounts, and you need a full credit-control process.
Xevrion
You want reminders written for you but checked by a person, chasing that stops when a customer replies, and help with enquiries and job billing too.
Xevrion is not the right choice if you want reminders to send with no approval step, if you do not use Xero or QuickBooks, or if you need phone chasing or a debt collection agency.
Questions
About this comparison.
Can I use Xero's reminders and Xevrion together?
It is better not to: a customer could get two reminders for the same invoice. Switch Xero's reminders off for the invoices Xevrion follows up.
Does Xevrion phone customers?
No. It drafts emails that you approve, sent from your own inbox.
Does Xevrion use AI to chase?
No. Invoice follow-up follows your rules. Where money is involved, the same facts always give the same result.
