The Chaser

Omar Farooq · CEO, Vertex Distribution — 400 retailers on trade credit

Vertex sells on credit to four hundred retailers, and PKR 31M of it is past due at any given moment. Chasing meant an accounts officer with a printout and a phone — awkward calls, made late, in no particular order.

Now Monday morning arrives as a ranked list: who owes what, for how long, with a follow-up message already drafted in the right tone for each — ready for the accounts team to send from their own number.

Before

Chasing meant an accounts officer with a printout and a phone — awkward calls, made late, in no particular order.

After

Monday’s ranked chase list arrives with a follow-up already drafted for every overdue account, in the tone its lateness earns.

The deliverable

This is the actual brief the workflow produces for the fictional Vertex ledger — 87 overdue accounts aged and ranked, with a follow-up message drafted for the top eight, every balance checked against the ledger before it ships. Scroll it; it’s real.

How it runs

🗂️

From the ledger export

It starts from the same ledger export the accounts team already produces — no new system for anyone to feed.

🧮

The aging math is ordinary code

Days overdue, bucket, and tone rung are plain arithmetic. Ordinary computer code does every calculation, the AI is handed the finished figures with instructions to copy them exactly, and a second automated check verifies every figure in every message against the ledger before anything ships.

✍️

The AI drafts the follow-ups

Each message is written in the tone its aging earns, imitating the register of the team’s own real messages — the courtesy, the rhythm, the sign-off — never anything they actually said.

📬

Delivered

The ranked brief and every draft arrive ready for the accounts team to send themselves, from their own number.
