Show Outstanding Balances from Accounting Inside Your CRM
Your sales team is making promises to customers who owe you money. They quote new deals, extend payment terms, and renew contracts without knowing the client has R85,000 overdue, because that information lives in a system they never open.
We surface your aged debtor balances directly inside the CRM, so every rep sees the full financial picture before making a commitment.
Sound Familiar?
These are the exact issues our clients faced before surfacing financial data in their CRM:
- Sales reps offer extended terms to customers who already owe R85,000 overdue, because they cannot see the balance
- Finance fields 30+ "has this client paid?" queries per week from sales, pulling them off higher-value work
- Renewals get quoted to accounts on credit hold, only to be blocked days later by finance
- Bad-debt customers keep getting sold to because their ageing data is trapped in accounting software
- Month-end credit reviews require manual exports and cross-referencing between two systems that never agree
One in five businesses do not track how much of their AR is past due. If your sales team is extending credit without visibility, you are likely writing off revenue that could have been collected with a simple flag at the point of quoting.

Complete Financial Visibility for Your Sales Team
Aged Debtor Balances in CRM
Current, 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day outstanding balances surface as custom fields on every CRM contact and company record. Always current, never manually entered.
Overdue Invoice Alerts
When a customer passes 30, 60, or 90 days overdue, the account owner receives a CRM notification with the amount and age. No spreadsheet, no email from finance, no delay.
Credit Limit and Hold Visibility
If finance sets a credit limit or places a hold, the CRM flags the account before a rep quotes new work, preventing orders that cannot be fulfilled.
Financial Health Scoring
Each contact gets a calculated risk score based on payment timeliness, total exposure, and ageing buckets, updated automatically after every transaction.
Deal-Stage Credit Checks
When a deal reaches proposal stage, the integration checks outstanding balance against credit policy. Deals exceeding thresholds get flagged before they progress.
Full Payment History Timeline
Every payment, partial payment, and credit note appears in the CRM activity feed. Reps see the complete financial relationship at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which accounting systems can surface balance data into a CRM?
We have built aged debtor integrations with Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage Pastel, Sage Business Cloud, NetSuite, and Zoho Books. Any accounting system with an API or structured export can be connected. On-premise systems like Sage Pastel use a secure middleware layer.
How quickly do balances update in the CRM after a payment?
Most integrations update within 5 to 15 minutes. For platforms with webhook support like Xero and QuickBooks, updates are near-instant. Polling-based syncs for on-premise systems typically run every 10 to 15 minutes during business hours.
Does this integration write anything back to our accounting system?
No. This is strictly one-directional: data flows from accounting into the CRM, never the other way. Your accounting records remain untouched. We only read balances, ageing data, credit limits, and payment status.
Can we customise which financial data appears and who sees it?
Absolutely. We map exactly the fields your team needs and respect role-based permissions. Sales managers might see full balance details while junior reps only see a traffic-light health indicator. Every integration is tailored to your credit policy.
What happens when balances do not match between systems?
The integration includes validation checks that flag discrepancies automatically. If a balance sync encounters an error or mismatch, the system logs it, retries with exponential backoff, and alerts your designated admin only when human judgement is needed.
How much does an outstanding balance visibility integration cost?
A basic one-way balance and ageing sync starts from around R18,000. Full implementations with credit hold automation, health scoring, and deal-stage credit checks typically range from R30,000 to R55,000. Most clients see ROI within 6 to 8 weeks through reduced bad debt alone.
Stop Extending Credit to Overdue Customers
If your sales team cannot see outstanding balances before making commitments, you are writing off revenue that should have been collected. The data already exists in your accounting system. It just needs to be where your reps work.
