Data Collection

With your consent ‘Invoice Insights’ collects invoice data from your accounting software through our data partners, including details like invoice numbers, dates, amounts, and payment statuses.

Analysis

It provides detailed analytics on your invoicing patterns. This includes insights into payment trends, outstanding invoices, and late payments split across monthly, quarterly and yearly.

How often insights are updated

Your insights are updated overnight, Monday to Friday. We'll always show you the day and time of the latest update.

Please note

If you haven’t kept up to date with your invoice admin within your accounting software, the data will not be correct within the Invoice Insights feature. For example, if you have not reconciled your invoices, they might be marked as overdue even if they’ve been paid.
