Tools in this workflow.
Pieces your customers and your team use directly, on their own or inside this workflow.
The problem, as it happens in Kinetic.
Collections at a dealer is the Aged Receivables report printed on Friday, a report that puts an account on Net 30 and one on 2% 10 Net 30 in the same thirty-day bucket, and whoever has time that afternoon. The customers who get called are the ones someone remembers.
The note that goes out is a template, and contractors can tell. The reply comes back to one person’s inbox, and the promise to pay lives in their head until it’s missed.
How it works.
- 1
The book is graded overnight
Every customer scored on days beyond its own terms as Kinetic has them, not a flat aging bucket. Who gets contacted is decided by the numbers, never by a model.
- 2
One note per customer, drafted
A short, personal note that states the balance, the invoices and the ask, with the payment link minted at send. A rule refuses any figure that isn’t on the customer master.
- 3
A person reads it and sends
The desk opens on the notes waiting for a decision, worst account first. Edit, send or skip. Nothing goes out on its own, and nobody is contacted twice in a sweep.
- 4
Replies land in one inbox
Every reply threads back to its note, is categorised, and comes with a proposed response. A promise to pay is logged against the account, with the date.
How it connects to Kinetic.
Lunica reads Kinetic’s open items and the customer master nightly through Kinetic’s REST services or a read-only database login, and ages every invoice on its own terms: Net 30, 2% 10 Net 30, net-10, whatever the account carries. Aging is computed each night and never stored. House accounts and anything you exclude by rule are left alone.
Nothing is written to Kinetic and nothing is sent on its own. A note is drafted per customer with the ask and the invoices taken from the record; a rule refuses any figure that isn’t on it. A person reads it, edits it, sends it or skips it. The payment link is minted at send and opens a payment page under your name, and your team posts the payment to the account with the remittance Lunica prepared.
What a week looks like.
- The right accounts, in the right order, on their real terms.
- One note per customer, never two in a sweep, never again inside the cooldown.
- Replies thread back to the note and come with a proposed response.
- Promises to pay logged against the account, not remembered.
Questions
Does anything go out automatically?
No. Every note and every reply is a draft until a person sends it.
How does it know our terms?
It reads them from the customer master in Kinetic, per account, and ages on them. An account on Net 30 ages from end of month plus thirty, not from the invoice date.
What about house accounts and disputed invoices?
Excluded by rule. The rules are a spec your admins edit in plain English, with history and revert.
Can customers pay from the note?
Yes. The link opens a payment page under your name: card or bank transfer, posted to the account by your team.
Does it store our aging?
No. Aging is computed nightly from Kinetic and never persisted.
Can we change the tone?
Yes, per customer or across the book, in the same spec your admins edit.
Does it need a server?
Lunica runs on one server inside your network, whether Kinetic is in Epicor’s cloud or on your own server, set up and maintained by Lunica. It reads Epicor Kinetic through Kinetic’s REST services or a read-only database login. There is no inbound connection from outside your network.
What does Lunica read in Kinetic?
The customer master, open items and terms, purchase orders and receipts, the part master, quotes and order history, as each workflow needs them. Read-only, and only the rows a task is about.
Can it post to Kinetic?
Nothing lands in Kinetic without a person. What belongs in Kinetic goes back as a Kinetic REST call or DMT import where one exists, or keyed by your team from what Lunica prepared.
What about our documents?
Invoice copies and scans keep living in Epicor ECM. Lunica reads them when a workflow needs one and never writes to them.
