In the logistics and freight industry, managing accounts receivable (AR) efficiently is crucial for maintaining a smooth cash flow and ensuring business operations continue uninterrupted. With high transaction volumes, multiple invoices, and extended payment terms, collecting payments on time can be a daunting task. While QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) and QuickBooks Online (QBO) are great tools for managing financials, they lack the robust automation needed to handle large-scale invoicing and payment collection efficiently.
That’s where AR Collect steps in. AR Collect integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks, helping logistics and freight companies automate their AR process, reduce overdue payments, and improve cash flow. In this blog post, we’ll address common questions asked by logistics and freight businesses and show how AR Collect can streamline your AR operations.

- How do I email a batch of invoices in QuickBooks Desktop?
For logistics and freight companies handling multiple clients, managing and sending large volumes of invoices can be time-consuming. While QuickBooks Desktop allows you to create invoices, it lacks the ability to email them in batches, forcing you to send them one by one. This process can eat into your time, especially if you’re managing several invoices daily.
With AR Collect, you can easily email batches of invoices directly from QuickBooks Desktop. The integration allows you to group invoices by customer, date, or other criteria, and send them all at once, saving time and ensuring prompt delivery. This helps you stay on top of your invoicing without wasting hours on manual processes.
How AR Collect simplifies batch invoicing:
- Automatically email batches of invoices to multiple clients in one go.
- Group and send invoices based on customer profiles or specific dates.
- Streamline invoicing tasks, saving you valuable time and resources.

- How can I automate sending payment reminders in QuickBooks Online?
In the logistics and freight industry, it’s common for clients to delay payments, leading to cash flow disruptions. Sending reminders manually can be tedious and inefficient, especially if you’re handling multiple accounts. While QuickBooks Online allows you to send reminders, it lacks advanced automation to manage large-scale, recurring reminders.
AR Collect offers automated payment reminders that sync with QuickBooks Online, ensuring that clients are reminded promptly without manual intervention. You can customize reminder schedules based on invoice aging, ensuring that no overdue invoice is left behind. By automating this process, AR Collect helps you reduce late payments and improve your overall collection rate.
Benefits of automating reminders with AR Collect:
- Automatically send reminders based on invoice due dates.
- Customize reminder schedules for different customers and invoices.
- Reduce late payments and improve cash flow without manual effort.

- Can I schedule automatic payment reminders in QuickBooks Desktop?
For freight companies using QuickBooks Desktop, the ability to schedule automatic payment reminders is crucial for managing large accounts receivable volumes. Unfortunately, QuickBooks Desktop doesn’t offer built-in features for scheduling automatic reminders, making it harder to keep up with overdue invoices.
AR Collect solves this problem by integrating directly with QuickBooks Desktop, allowing you to schedule automatic payment reminders with ease. You can set reminders based on invoice due dates, payment schedules, and client preferences, ensuring timely follow-ups. This reduces the time spent manually tracking payments and increases your likelihood of collecting on time.
How AR Collect enhances QuickBooks Desktop with automation:
- Schedule automated reminders for overdue invoices.
- Customize reminder frequency and messaging for different clients.
- Stay on top of payments without manually tracking each account.

- How to collect overdue invoices faster in QuickBooks using AR Collect?
Overdue invoices are a major challenge for the logistics and freight industry, where long payment terms are common. While QuickBooks helps track unpaid invoices, following up and ensuring payment collection can be time-consuming without the right tools.
AR Collect integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks to automate the collections process. It sends regular payment reminders, tracks overdue invoices in real-time, and follows up with clients based on pre-configured schedules. This significantly reduces the manual workload of chasing overdue payments and accelerates your collections process, helping you improve cash flow and avoid unnecessary delays.
How AR Collect speeds up overdue invoice collections:
- Automates follow-ups and reminders based on invoice aging.
- Provides real-time tracking of overdue invoices, so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Streamlines the collections process, improving overall payment timelines.
