Ted automatically emails and texts your customers when invoices go overdue, so you can stay on the job instead of playing phone tag.
We're onboarding in small batches — spots go quickly.
No QuickBooks. No bank connection. No complexity.
"I built Ted because a contractor friend of mine was writing off $15k a year in forgotten invoices. This is the tool I wish existed."
You do great work. Getting paid for it shouldn't be this hard.
You held up your end. Now you're the one sending awkward follow-up emails weeks after the job wrapped.
Spreadsheets, sticky notes, mental lists. Something always slips through the cracks.
You want to keep the relationship good, but you also need to get paid. An automated reminder keeps it professional and impersonal.
QuickBooks wants a bank connection, a subscription, and an accountant. You just want someone to remind your customer to pay their bill.
Three steps and you're done. Ted handles the rest.
Enter your customer's name, email or phone, the amount owed, and the due date. That's it.
Every day, Ted checks your invoices. When one goes overdue, it automatically fires off a polite reminder by email, SMS, or both.
When your customer pays, mark the invoice paid in Ted. Reminders stop instantly. On to the next job.
Short, professional, and on your behalf. No awkward phone calls.
Hi Sarah,
This is a friendly reminder that you have an outstanding invoice from Mike's Plumbing for $1,250.00.
Please reach out to them directly to arrange payment.
Thank you,
Mike's Plumbing
Your whole outstanding list in one screen.
Built specifically for contractors and tradespeople, not enterprise finance teams.
Professional reminder emails sent automatically on your behalf. Your customer gets a clear, polite note with the amount owed and how to reach you.
Text messages get read. When email isn't enough, Ted will send a short, direct SMS to your customer's phone. SMS is pending carrier approval during beta and will be enabled once your account is verified.
See all your open invoices in one place. Know at a glance who owes you, how much, and how overdue they are.
Save your repeat customers so you're not re-entering their info every time. Build your list as you go.
You don't need to connect a bank account, sync with QuickBooks, or touch anything in your existing workflow. Just add invoices manually. Takes 30 seconds.
Plumber, electrician, HVAC tech, landscaper, roofer, painter. If you send invoices and wait to get paid, Ted is built for you.
Ted handles the follow-up. You handle the work. Here's how we split the job.
Free now. Affordable when it's not.
Beta users get advance notice before any paid plans are introduced.
SMS is coming soon. Carrier approval is still in progress during the beta period. Once your account is verified, SMS reminders will be enabled automatically. No action needed on your end.
No. Your customers just get an email or text. There's no portal, no login, and nothing they need to install. They read the reminder and pay you however they normally would.
When a customer pays, log into Ted and mark the invoice as paid. Reminders for that invoice stop immediately.
No. Ted doesn't connect to anything. You manually enter invoices (takes about 30 seconds) and Ted takes it from there. No QuickBooks, no bank link, no setup headache.
Ted sends a short, professional reminder that includes your business name, the amount owed, and a note to reach out with any questions. It's polite but clear.
Ted will move to a paid plan at some point, but beta users will get advance notice and fair pricing. Nothing changes without you knowing first.
It's built with contractors and tradespeople in mind, but any small business that sends invoices and waits on payments can use it.
Ted is being built in the open with real contractors. If something doesn't work the way you'd expect, or you have an idea for something that would make your life easier, I want to hear it.
No suggestion is too small. Feature requests, workflow ideas, things that bug you. All of it is useful.
Set up your first invoice reminder in under 5 minutes. Free during beta, no credit card required.
