No more chasing customers. ## The flowers were delivered. The invoice is still open. You have seen it a hundred times. A big order for a wedding, a corporate arrangement, a standing weekly account. You delivered on time, everything looked perfect, and payment got pushed to "next week." A week passes. Then two. You do not want to seem pushy because they are a good customer, so you let it slide. Meanwhile, that money was supposed to fund your next flower run at the market. For flower shops, collections is one of the most uncomfortable parts of the job. You sell something emotional —flowers for a birthday, a funeral, an anniversary— and then you have to send a cold message asking for money. Many florists simply do not, and end up financing their customers without meaning to. At Catalizadora we build AI agents that handle that part for you. Not an aggressive debt collector: an assistant that follows up with the same warmth your shop treats people with, automatically, over WhatsApp. ## What a friendly collections agent actually does The agent lives on your WhatsApp number and knows the status of every order. When an invoice is about to come due or is already past due, it sends the reminder without you lifting a finger. And it does it the right way: - **Your brand's tone, not a bank's.** "Hi Maria, we hope the christening arrangement looked lovely. A quick reminder that your $45 payment is due tomorrow — here is the link if you want to take care of it now." No caps lock, no threats. - **Sends the payment link in the same message.** The customer pays from their phone in thirty seconds. No manual transfers, no "send me your details." - **Escalates gently.** If they do not pay after the first reminder, the second is a touch more direct, but always courteous. You decide how many reminders and how often. - **Goes quiet once they pay.** The moment payment lands, it stops. Nothing worse than chasing someone who already paid. ### How that compares to what you do today Right now you probably keep a notebook or a spreadsheet of who owes what, and you check it "when you remember." The agent checks every single day, at the same time, without fail and without missing anyone. Take a typical month for a flower shop with 40 orders on credit: - **Without an agent:** you scan the list maybe twice a month, send five or six reminders by hand, and feel too awkward to chase the rest. You collect late and leave money on the table. - **With an agent:** all 40 orders get timely follow-up, each with its own payment link, and you just read the report of who paid. The hours you used to spend chasing go back into selling and designing. ## Collecting without damaging the relationship The number one worry we hear from florists is: "I do not want to upset my customer." That makes sense. Your business runs on long relationships —the lady who orders flowers every two weeks, the company that orders for every board meeting. That is why the agent is not a collections robot. It is an assistant with manners. It recognizes when a customer replies, answers naturally, and if someone says "sorry, I forgot, I will pay this afternoon," the agent understands and does not push again that day. If the conversation gets complicated or the customer asks for a human, it hands the case straight to you. ### Everything lands in your CRM, hands-free Every reminder, every reply and every payment is logged. You open your dashboard and see who owes, how much, since when, and the full conversation. No more "did this one pay me?" digging through scattered chats. ## The same agent also sells Here is what surprises most florists: the agent that collects is the same one that sells. When a new customer messages your WhatsApp asking about an arrangement, the agent replies instantly in your brand's voice, shows options, quotes a price, schedules the delivery and sends the payment link. It sells while you sleep or while you are at the market at five in the morning. In other words: you are not buying a collections tool on one side and a sales chat on the other. It is a single brain that does both, wired into your CRM. ## What it costs and what is yours At Catalizadora we work differently from a traditional agency. We do not rent you software. We build your agent and hand it over. - **MAGIA Solo: $4,500 USD, ready in 15 days.** Your WhatsApp agent that sells and collects, connected to your CRM, speaking in your shop's voice. - **The code, the data and the infrastructure are 100% yours.** No retainers, no locked-in licenses, no being held hostage. - **Operation is pass-through:** roughly $200 to $400 USD a month for hosting and tokens, with no markup from us. You pay the real cost. Compare that to hiring someone part-time just to chase payments: that costs more in the first quarter alone, and the agent never gets sick or quits. ## How to get started You do not need to be technical. You know your shop; we translate that into an agent that works the way you would, but without rest. If you want your collections to catch up on their own and your WhatsApp selling on its own, let's talk.
