AR Automation Software for Sage Users in the UK (2026)

Equisettle Team

Summary

Equisettle integrates directly with Sage — including Sage 50, Sage 200, and Sage Accounting — and automates your entire AR process. It predicts which invoices will be paid late up to 14 weeks ahead, runs outreach via email, SMS, and WhatsApp, and gives your finance team a live view of outstanding debt without touching a spreadsheet.

What Sage Doesn't Do for Your AR

Sage is excellent accounting software. Invoice creation, VAT returns, payroll, reporting — it handles the financial record well. But its built-in payment reminders are limited:

  • Basic email reminders when an invoice goes overdue
  • No multi-step follow-up sequences
  • No WhatsApp or SMS
  • No way to flag which invoices are likely to go late before they do
  • No aged debt prioritisation based on payment behaviour

Most Sage users end up with a credit controller chasing manually, or invoices sitting overdue until someone notices. Neither scales.


What Equisettle Adds to Sage

AI-powered risk prediction Equisettle syncs with your Sage account and immediately analyses payment history across your customer portfolio. Its machine learning model identifies invoices at risk of late payment up to 14 weeks before the due date — with 94% accuracy across 100+ UK finance teams.

Your team sees a ranked worklist: which clients to prioritise this week, why, and what the predicted delay looks like. Not a list of already-overdue invoices — a list of invoices about to become a problem.

Automated multi-channel outreach Configure your chasing sequence once. Equisettle handles every reminder, follow-up, and escalation automatically:

  • Pre-due date courtesy reminder (email)
  • Due date notification (email)
  • Day +3 follow-up (email + SMS)
  • Day +7 chase (email + WhatsApp)
  • Day +14 escalation (email with payment plan offer)
  • Day +21 final notice

You review exceptions. Equisettle runs everything else.

Real-time aged debt dashboard A live view of who owes what, for how long, and what the last communication was. Replaces the manual aged debtor report most Sage users export to Excel.

Cash flow forecasting 30–90 day visibility into expected collections based on your invoice due dates and Equisettle's payment predictions. Useful for payroll planning, supplier timing, and investment decisions.

For Sage users specifically, Equisettle and Credit Hound are the two main options. Credit Hound is significantly more expensive (£2,000+/month) and targeted at large businesses with dedicated credit departments. Equisettle is accessible from £75/month and adds AI predictions and WhatsApp that Credit Hound doesn't offer.

FAQ

Does Equisettle work with Sage 50? Yes. Equisettle integrates natively with Sage 50, Sage 200, and Sage Accounting (cloud).

Will Equisettle replace my Sage subscription? No. Equisettle sits alongside Sage — it reads your invoice and payment data and automates your AR process. Sage remains your accounting system of record.

How does Equisettle sync with Sage? Via Equisettle's native Sage integration. Invoices, customer records, and payment updates sync automatically. No manual exports required.

What happens when a client pays in Sage? Sage marks the invoice as paid. Equisettle picks up the update automatically and stops all outreach for that invoice.

Is there a minimum contract? No. Equisettle is month-to-month with no long-term commitment.
