For ToolTime users
Dunning for ToolTime for when email is not enough.
ToolTime Pay reminds automatically by email. DunningHero carries the same receivable onwards: your own levels, dunning fees, a text message, a real letter and finally the bundle for a court dunning order.

How your invoice reaches us
ToolTime
writes the invoice
Lexware Office
keeps the books
DunningHero
sends reminders and dunning letters
Nothing is sent until you switch sending on
The bridge
Nothing changes about how you invoice.
ToolTime passes your invoices to Lexware Office. DunningHero connects to Lexware Office and sees which invoice is open, which is overdue and which is settled. Your jobs stay where they are.
DunningHero does not connect to ToolTime directly but to your accounting system — where your payments are recorded.
The difference
What ToolTime does and what comes after.
The step after the email.

Automatic dunning only comes with ToolTime Pay — and only by email.

Features
What runs by itself from then on.
Up to nine levels
Six payment reminders and three dunning letters, each with its own deadline, wording and tone.
No login needed
The run follows your schedule. You hear from us because something went out — not so that it can.
Payment stops the chain
Once the amount is settled in your accounting system, the next sync ends the escalation.
Text and letter, not just email
As add-ons: a short text message alongside the level and, when needed, a letter we print and post — for customers who overlook email.
Dunning fees and interest
A €5.00 fee per dunning level by default, freely adjustable, never on a payment reminder. Default interest from the day of default — at the consumer rate or, via a setting, the business rate.
Pause instead of switching off
Pause a single invoice or a whole customer — one click, with the reason kept in the audit trail.
Pricing
Priced by overdue invoices in flight.
Not per seat, not per revenue. Annual billing is 15% cheaper.
