Pre-invoicing and prepayment tracking for small vendors serving budget-cycle clients

Problem

Schools and daycares often need to spend leftover budget at quarter-end and ask for invoices before delivery. Small vendors end up issuing invoices and bearing collection risk before any goods are shipped. Existing invoicing tools don't handle this pre-invoice/prepayment pattern.

Solution

A minimalist pre-invoicing tool: log pre-invoice amounts and promised payment dates, auto-remind both parties, mark partial payments, and generate reconciliation summaries. Syncs with existing accounting software.

Users

Small vendors and contractors selling to schools, government agencies, and daycares with budget cycles.

MVP

Create pre-invoice with due date; auto email reminders to client; mark partial payments and balance; generate pre-invoice summary report; export CSV for accounting.

Revenue

$19/month subscription or $0.5 per pre-invoice transaction.

Why now

Quarter-end budget flush is a persistent pain, AI makes reminders and tracking cheap, and small vendors need lightweight tools—not a full ERP.
