Light manufacturing
Your books show what's unpaid.
Paystorm shows the next move.
Paystorm finds the missing POs, proof questions, short-pays, disputes, and buried customer replies behind the open balance, then drafts the next action for approval.

Why collections stall
Overdue invoices are not the full story.
In light manufacturing, invoices stall for specific reasons: missing POs, proof approvals, partial shipments, freight disputes, short-pays, wrong AP contacts, or replies buried in email.
Missing PO
Payment is blocked because the invoice does not match the customer's purchase order.
Promise missed
The customer said they would pay Friday. Friday passed. No payment posted.
New job while overdue
The customer wants the next order, but the old balance is still open.

Proof or artwork approval
The job shipped, but AP is waiting on proof, artwork, or spec confirmation.
Short-pay or deduction
The customer paid less than the invoice and nobody knows why yet.
Freight or delivery dispute
The shipment arrived late, damaged, incomplete, or with a charge the customer is disputing.
Before and after
Same open invoices. Less detective work.
Your team already has the data. The problem is that it is scattered across accounting, email, spreadsheets, production notes, and payment records.
Before Paystorm
Slow follow-up, invoices aging quietly, cash tied up longer, and the owner pulled back into collections.
With Paystorm
One AR action queue
Invoice, blocker, reply, and next action.
Inside the workspace
One screen. One decision.
Paystorm pulls the invoice, customer history, recent replies, payment activity, and blocker status into one view — then drafts the next message in your voice for approval.

Hi Dana,
I found the PO quantity mismatch holding up INV-2048. The invoice shows 2,500 units, while PO-1884 shows 2,000.
I'm checking this with production now and will send the corrected invoice today if needed.

Common questions
Questions manufacturing teams ask.
Does Paystorm replace QuickBooks, Xero, or our production system?+
No. Paystorm is the AR action layer around the systems you already use. It helps turn open invoices, aging data, payment history, and customer context into a prioritized queue for follow-up.
How is this different from automatic invoice reminders?+
Reminder tools usually send the same message after an invoice is late. Paystorm looks for the reason payment is stuck, such as a missing PO, proof question, short-pay, dispute, or missed promise, then prepares the next action for approval.
What types of manufacturers is this best for?+
It fits small B2B manufacturers with repeat customers, invoice terms, and follow-up spread across accounting and email. Print shops, sign shops, label printers, packaging companies, promo product manufacturers, and made-to-order shops are especially good fits.
Who uses Paystorm day to day?+
Usually the owner, office manager, bookkeeper, controller, or ops admin. They review the daily queue, approve or edit prepared messages, and focus first on invoices where action can actually move cash.
