For distributors
Get paid for every delivery.
Food, beverage and supply distributors deliver first and get paid later. Squirrel is built around that: Net terms, weekly routes, purchase orders, delivery tickets, and the occasional customer who says it never arrived.
A month on Squirrel
From the truck to the bank.
What a distributor's month looks like when billing, collecting and disputes run in one place.
Monday, 6 AM
The trucks go out
Each stop signs the delivery ticket. Your system already has the day's invoices.
Monday, 4 PM
The day's invoices go out
Upload the CSV from your ERP: every customer gets their invoice by email, with the delivery on file.
Day 27
A reminder, sent for you
Three days before Net 30 is up, your customer gets a reminder with the link to pay.
Day 30
Paid from the bank
The restaurant group pays $12,000 from its bank account for a small fee. A café pays its $460 by card.
Day 37
You see who's late
Receivables by age shows the two customers past 30 days, and their oldest invoice. You call them first.
Day 60
“It never arrived”
A card payment is disputed. The answer cites the day, the signature and the ticket number, already on the payment.
Your customers pay their way
Restaurants, chains and stores, on one page.
A single café pays by card in a minute. A restaurant group pays from its bank account. The odd one still mails a check. Squirrel takes all three and keeps the receivables right.
- Cards at a rate set for your volume, or 0% for you with Pass the Fee where it's allowed
- Bank payments for a small fee per payment: the way to collect the big invoices
- Checks and wires recorded on their invoice in seconds
- Part payments for the customer who pays half now and half on Friday
Receivables
Call the right customer first.
Your aging report is always current: who owes the most, who's past 60 days, and which invoice is the oldest. One click gives your accountant the CSV.
- By customer and by invoice
- Bank payments on their way don't count as owed
- On your home screen, every morning
